How many links per day to avoid sandbox
-
Dear Mozers,
I start promoting my website www.buy-hosting.net on a daily basis now. I would like to know, how many links would you seed per day. As far as I understood, it is important to stay constant in the number of links to seed every day. But isn't there a danger of going to the sandbox, if the number is to high? The domain has no ibound links yet and although it is 2 years old was only parked until now.
Thank you for your advice and kind regards

Thank you,
I thought about starting with directory links and footer links in really useful forum advice about hosting topics, I give to people. Are these "white hat"? What other link sources/tecniques would you suggest in the special case of my site?
Thank you and kind regards

What's important to avoid is low quality links. For example, if you're submitting the site to one of those "We'll get you listed in 10,000 directories over night" kind of thing, you'll get hurt. But, if you're naturally building backlinks, Google won't care.

Timon, if your links are organic white hat links with varied anchor text, etc, you don't need to worry about building too many links.

I wouldn't worry about anything. What you are describing is Google's defense against a Google Bomb. If they see way more links than they have found lately with identical anchor text pointing to the same place, they get suspicious. A little hosting site with no links suddenly getting some will not trigger any red flags. I would say do as many links each day as you can, you'll never get the sandbox effect or anything like that. As long as you avoid getting several hundred thousand links all at once with identical anchor text you should be fine.

Buy domain, redirect, get all the good links (+link juice) and disavow the spammy ones?
There is a domain for sale that has a quite nice profile and a lot of good backlinks, but also quite a few spammy ones. This domain has a Spam Score of 14% acc. to Moz Link explorer, ours has only 2%. My questions: 1. The domain and the good backlinks are related to or close to our content/keywords. But we are worried whether the "spammy" ones will hurt us. Does anyone has experience with this? 2. Would it help if we disavow the spammy backlinks afterwards? And if so, how do we do that? Add new domain to search console, disavow the bad links and then redirect the entire domain to our domain or redirect the domain first and then disavow from our property? Many thanks for your help!

Anyone have any useful ways to link audit? I'm stuck picking up the slack from a previous worker who decided buying links was a great idea for our clients.

Links from same server or not?
Hello, I make websites so every website I make has a backlink to my website. Currently all my websites are hosted on server A, but my OWN website is hosted on server B. I plan to move my website to server A too. This will indicate that all the backlinks I have currently are from a difference server, now all these links will come from the SAME server. Will this have any results on my positions? Is this something that you have to take into account? Jeroen

So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
So I ran http://www.riogrande.com/ into this site not that long ago and wanted to see if any other SEO's have an opinion on it. I've seen a Google bomb before, but the amount of links going into this URL is insane. The thing is how does one over come a Google Bomb? Do you just wait to see what Google does or do you just hope to rank under that URL? I should also note that it appears that all the keywords to it are relevant to the sites content. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
