Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, I own a website where recently a lot of backlinks have been going to my old domain that 301's to my new domain.  During the past 2 months I have noticed a massive amount of links pointing to my old domain.  When I go to look at the links and go to the page all I see is a search bar which to me this seems like link cloaking.  I am not sure what I should do.  Obviously I am not doing the link building and someone is targeting anchor specific keywords from multiple domains that all look the same.  My question is should I report it myself in google webmaster tools before I get hit with a filter or penalty, or would this force them to penalize me.  And if I do get caught up in a penalty I would not know how to fix this since I doubt the webmaster is linking to me out of the kindness of his heart.  Any advice? Thanks

Hi, I was wondering as far as being aggressive in link building can you add a lot of links to a new post on an aged domain?  How many would you say is too much for the new pages if the over all domain has about 40k links?  I am just wondering of a safe round about number monthly that can be done although I do realize this is site specific.  I would trust your best guess.
