How are you supposed to manage your backlink profile?
-
If you have a site that has 200k+ backlinks, and you are receiving anywhere from 1-4k new links daily (according to majestic), how are you supposed to manage your link profile?
We don't do any black hat tactics or any link building, and at the rate of new links coming in, we are afraid that Penguin might hit us one day. We have never used the disavow tool yet either.
What are we supposed to do exactly?
-
We have had over 9k new backlinks shown daily on majestic as of late...I notice many site wides, and then some that are relevant.
I can't see google expecting us to manually review them all!

I agree with Jesse and Takeshi it seems like you have a good thing going on, but if you are afraid of where the links are coming from or who is building them I would look at the anchor text.
Also I would take a look and see what websites are linking to you. At a rate of a 1,000 it'll be hard to view all of them but view a few of them and figure out why they're linking to you? Is it just spam or do you actually have great content on your website? This might help from a content building strategy as well.

Well if you're getting that many links - I would keep a close eye on your 404 pages. How is your link velocity? What I would do is try to get involved in the conversions online. Go get buzz bundle and monitor your brand and keywords there and at that rate you said will be able to maybe increase/influence conversions.
Good Job. Bravo!

Like Jesse says, you don't have to worry about it too much unless you suspect people are intentionally spamming you. It may be worth it to pull a weekly report of backlinks, and filter by things like DA and anchor text to see if there are any alarming trends, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it if you have a solid backlink profile. Most large sites accrue tons of spammy links naturally.

Nothing! Nothing unless you need to. If those links are coming in organically then the anchor text should be varied and you should be golden.
Carry on, keep that rank improving, and bravo!!

Couple questions: backlink bartering and getting backlinks in less developed markets.
How do you guys go about getting sustainable links from high authority sites? In some markets, like say SEO, it can be as easy as writing great content and "people will share it" because there are a ton of SEO websites on the internet and all of them are talking about SEO and want to share with you great SEO content. But as you guys know there are markets that aren't as well developed online - where do you look for backlinks for these markets? I'm working on a project and I'm trying to put together a good backlinking strategy. Part of it will be chasing backlinks from University websites (relevant to my market). What I'm wondering here is if its OK by Google to barter for links. Say you have an online store and you give the University a "student's discount" in exchange for a link (I don't know if this would be appealing enough but is it fair game as far as Google is concerned)?
