When backlinks are too many?
-
I just started to create backlinks to my target site but many SEO expert say to me "don't go too far!".
So, where is the limit after that i could be penalized?
-
I would try and find other sources for building links.
By all means use General directories to help keep your Link Profile balanced, but don't focus primarily on them.
It is also better if your content is good enough to "attract" links naturally...
-
Well, you can Sergio, but you will get nothing back from them.
Have a look at this list of directories SEOmoz has published and try to find something that is related to what you do.
It's all about keeping it on track.
-
Ok but can i submit to general directories?
-
By good quality, I refer to anything that has a vested interest in your industry. This can be both new and old sites alike, and, for example, a website design site and a social media website could link to an SEO site and still be seen as being within your niche.
-
Its my understanding that you shouldn't purely seek out high Quality links only... As this too can look "Un-Natural"
Mixing it up can also include some of the lower quality links where appropriate, directories which are related to your location or subject for example...
-
You're welcome, but be careful with directories as they will do very little, unless they are industry specific ones.
Try and target sites within your niche where possible for a chance to get the best links back again.

For now is a very basic activity. I'm submitting the site to various sites directories (4/5 submissions a day)
Thanks for the quick response

There is no limit or threshold. Just be careful not to build too many too fast and make sure the referring sites are good quality. Diversity with anchor text is important, as is a range of landing pages - don't send them all to the homepage.

I want to know about the Impact of Do-follow backlinks and No-follow backlinks for increasing DA.
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: Homeworkpaper.net Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer.

Question on backlinks indexing
Hello, my site is fairly new and I started building a lot of backlinks to it by posting my 5 from my website to several different web 2.0 and then posting all those 5 articles again to different article submissions + getting social bookmarks to my main site as backlinks. My question is: Should I throw all those backlinks in an indexer to get them all indexed at once / ping them all OR do I let google crawler naturally find them and index them itself sort of like 'dripping' as it will find it one by one; stack by stack? I would also like to know why Yahoo! hasn't indexed my site yet 😞

How does Google treat multiple backlinks on the same page?
Hello mozCrew Just a quick yay or nay. We have an embeddable code on our site for customers who want to post our link on their website listed here: http://www.accupos.com/etc/embed-code-restaurants.php But in our link, there are actually 2 separate links, one branding link that says the name of our company, AccuPOS, and another link which targets a specific target keyword "Restaurant POS Software". My question is, does Google only give credit for the branding link, since it is listed FIRST? Or will we get double credit? Is this a good or bad practice, and what would you recommend? Thank you!
