    Calling out SEO peeps: Healthy Link Growth?

    I read again and again that getting too many backlinks in a short period of time will get you punished through a worse ranking... So what is considered a healthy link growth?

    x links / day / month ?

    huh, will you realize sometime that there is nothing healthy about 'link growing'. do not worry about link growing.... focus on content and links will come themselves in very natural way and will 'healthy grow'...

              The amount of SEO knowledge in here can be a bit overwhelming sometimes.

              I'm also interested in hearing anybody speak with any kind of positive relevance to the original question... it's an interesting subject.

                  theres no fixed amount of links that can be considered healthy or can penalize you.
                  It all depends on the distribution of links.
                  If you get 10 PR5 links in day 1 it'll certainly raise a flag because that would
                  be uncommon.
                  If you get a few hundred worthless links in a day it will again raise a flag.
                  If you want to simulate natural linking you have to spread the links across different domains/PR/whatever.

                      i think that healthy link building is 3-5 links (from sites with higher pr than yours) per day.... and do this after you let the site for one to two weeks and put some content on it... and yes sitemap is quality step too...

                        I usually try and stick with 1-2 normal links a day, and I have never seen issues with it

                            You can build 1000's of backlinks a month on a active / traffic domain. The key is to not backlink spam bad neighborhoods. The more relevant the backlinks the less you need.

                                  you could be a TINY bit more vague

                                  Here's the thing, though.... This question is a hell of a lot more compplicated than a simple number.

                                  Google doesn't re-index the entire internet every day. It's a process of crawling that takes into account a lot of factors.... like PR of the site it's crawling. You can tell google to crawl your site every day, but Google is only going to crawl your site as often as it sees fit.

                                  I have PR1 sites that are meta tagged to be crawled daily, because they get updated daily, but they only get crawled bi-monthly or so. I also have sites that are PR6 that get crawled daily with no tags at all one way or another.

                                  Which almost brings me to my point. Say you get 100 backlinks in one day, using whatever method you happen to be using. And let's say those backlinks are all on relevant sites, but they are all on less frequently crawled sites. Let's ALSO say that, since we understand google does not crawl the entire internet every minute/hour/day checking for new links... those 100 links are discovered by google on a staggered schedule, bi-weekly or so, across a few weeks. Here's what we end up with: You actually got 100 decent backlinks in one day, but google doesn't recognize it that way. Google discovers 4 today, 12 tomorrow, 3 the next day, none the following day, 20 the day after, etcetera, over the course of three weeks.

                                  Now... how many links is it actually safe to get per week? The question is almost impossible to answer in less than a short book.


                                  I would say that unless you are doing tactical link spamming, you probably don't have to worry about how fast you get backlinks. If you are, then you're not going to find the answer here or another message board. The people that could actually answer the question won't, and the people that will answer the question probably don't know what they are talking about.

                                        Once my site was hacked, lots of sites talked about it and linked to my site.
                                        My pagerank raise from pr1 to pr7 in one week.

                                        So don't think it can hurt you.

                                          Getting people to "naturally link" your articles in the porn world just doesn't happen the way it does in other industries, unless you write blog articles or something that get passed around.

                                                Link exchanges suck ass now. SICK one way link growth will raise red flags UNLESS you do it with reviews or PR. Anyway, check my blog http://justtraffic.blogspot.com

                                                                    True. And a lot of adult search results are dominated by the long-established TGP's and links lists which have thousands of backlinks courtesy of their submitters. The problems start when such models are downscaled and manipulated.

                                                                    The biggest difference is that most adult sites are looking for link exchanges. WordPress doesn't exchange links, hence the value of its outbound links to template and plugin submitters. Thumbzilla doesn't exchange links: all the inbound links from submitters point to the same page, whereas the outbound links are contextual and every one is to a different gallery (even although many galleries are on the same domains).

                                                                    Compare that to sites with long lists of "friends", a format which doesn't remotely resemble natural/organic linking and which is simplicity itself for the SE's to spot. And of course such lists only run to a few dozen links, not the thousands in the examples above.

                                                                    You are right that you are not penalized for inbound links, but that misses the point that most adult sites are looking for reciprocal links. It's the same flaw in thinking which prompted someone to ask me in another thread yesterday if it could be a bad thing for a PR0 site to get an inbound link from a PR5 site. Even if the answer were simple, the question ignores not only whether the PR5 site might be damaged, but why the owner would agree to the link in the first place.

                                                                    Also it never takes long for someone to pop up and make the obvious point that natural linking is (near) impossible for most adult sites. That is also true, but since the SE's make no secret of being on the lookout for sites which try to manipulate them, how can it make sense to deal with our reality as transparently as we do?

                                                                    I suppose we should cover all the bases and there are always those who say but I did this, or I did that and my sites score well in the SE's. Well why not? Linking is only one factor in a site's score and not critical unless a site is actually banned. But the point remains that it is ludicrous to imagine that because we can't/won't handle links as the SE's want, they will change their rules for us and give us higher scores for doing the exact opposite.

                                                                                10-20 a week? Please... You can build 1000's a month. Yes, if you have a fresh site, no traffic, and you build that many backlinks that fast, you will probably get caught - if you even get out of the sandbox.

                                                                                Affiliate programs can easily build more than 10-20 a day to fresh sites.
                                                                                Wordpress.org is an authority site, it can pretty get any amount, even from bad neighborhoods.

                                                                                On a site, doing traffic, with age, they can build backlinks at 1000's a month and never get caught. The higher the site is ranked, the faster they can add backlinks. Many factors weight in, like bad neighborhoods, speed/growth of the back links, relevance of backlinks, and so on.

                                                                                You can still exchange hardlinks with people - a few doesn't hurt. If you want to exchange links you should blog about different categories/niches/posts with people you want to exchange with, that way you create deep links that don't link back from within the category/post.


                                                                                The thing is very very few adult sites or webmasters have to worry about the rate at which they build backlinks. For the most part you can go balls the wall, if you have places to get solid backlinks or a way to build solid backlink sites - then have the hell at it.
