Maximum links per month?
-
Hi All,
I am setting up a new website with a fresh domain on an existing server. I can foresee that linkbuilding is pretty easy in this sector and it wouldn't be that difficult to build as many as 200 links a month.
What I wanted to ask was whether it is possible to put a figure on the maximum number of links I could build without incurring a spam related penalty?
Could I for instance start with say 50 links / month and then in increase that by 25 links / month for the next couple of months to seetle for something around the 100 links/month mark?
Thanks in advance

Sorry one other thing. Links would come from sites with no more 100 pages each so few major sites with high DA.

Hi Marcus,
I don't want to go into exact specifics, but the site is in the adult industry and links are obtained by giving free advertising in exchange for a homepage link. There are normally about 5 outbound links to other sites on these sites that are similar in nature. Some are dofollow banners(no anchor text), some are text based.
I will be writing a script to alternate anchor text between different target phrases and pages so that I can avoid looking like an affiliate link. One thing that does worry me is that a big chunk of these links are reasonably poor quality as SEO is not really used by my patential link partners.
My focus would probably be first quality then quantity though.

Hey Ross
I don't think it's possible to make such a generalisation. It all depends on so much, certainly, 200 links a month for a new site could seem agressive but...
Can you supply a bit more info? What is the site, how are you getting these links? That kind of stuff.
Happy to look again if you can fill in some of the gaps.
Marcus

Spammy links
Hi Guys, I have a case which seems to occur more often for our customers. The websites of our customers seem to receive tons of backlinks from websites all over the world (China, Russia, Ukrain, etc). It’s spam we never asked for, we didn’t buy any dodgy linkbuilding packages or anything. Do any of you guys have experience with this matter? We try to disavow the links but it takes too much time and we will never manage to disavow 100% of all links. Examples are www.keukensduitsland.nl and www.m2beveiliging.nl Hope anyone has experience and maybe even solutions for this matter. Thanks!

Inbound Links not showing. Links are not no follow
Over the past several months I have definitely received inbound links to my website ( none of which are no follow). I have HubSpot as well s Moz and none of the links are showing. My competitors with the same link sources are showing though. I am completely dumbfounded. Why are my inbound links not showing and how much time does it take for them to show if they show at all? Thank you!

Links from sites with iffy link profiles?
So the site http://www.cadenas.de/ appears to have good decent scores from the various Moz ranks, but when I check out the site in OSE there are a lot of really sketchy links that jump out, online pharmacy/drug type links. I should also add that the negative links are seemingly going to a weird blog deep in the site and only appear when I select all links to the root domain in OSE. Everything about the site appears very legitimate except for the link profile which has me nervous. Would you guys pursue a link from this site?

Should I ask sites that link to me to update links that redirect?
I have found some links to my site that go through a single 301 redirect to get to my site. Should I contact these websites to ask them to update the link, or is that not worth the time?

When do my links show up?
For the last two weeks I have been working on linkbuilding. I have downloaded competitors link reports and started contacting or submitting links. In the last two weeks I have gotten about 50-60 or so. In the newest report it shows I went up four c-blocks. Why is that? It is kind of discouraging.

What percentage of my links should be directory links
I feel a lot of my link building might be a bit heavy on the directory links side. Should I limit the percentage amount of links as a part of my overall link profile? If yes what percentage of links is ok to be directory links?
