Stupid links???? maybe it doesn't help that I am not willing to reveal the strategy but the links I am getting are high quality, human edited, editorial, and legitimate. I highly doubt unless Google decides to devalue educational institutions that these links will ever lose value.
Let me rephrase my situation. Lets say I do something news worthy and every single news site in the nation decides they want to write a story about me and link to my website. Can a large amount of news column (lets say in content and contextual) links either lose effectiveness after a while because of lack of diversity or have a negative effect because it is all one type of link even though they are all from individual reputable sources.
