Why are so many people afraid of getting too many backlinks too fast? Why are some of you dripping 3 backlinks a day onto your site?
I don't get it? That's just wrong! This is a SEO myth.
Why would Google care if you got 100 or 1,000 backlinks in a day?
In fact, many sites DO get 100-1,000 backlinks in a day. Here's how:
They write a great piece of content on their blog about a really hot , current topic. And then it spreads virally all over the internet because someone puts a link to it on their blog, and then someone else puts a link to it on their blog, etc., etc., etc. Following me?
Great, current content can & does get a ton of backlinks to a site in a very short periopd of time. What? You think Google is going to ban that site for getting 500 backlinks in one day? No way! Google is going to reward them by moving them up in the rankings.
A perfect example of a current hot story sweeping the internet is what's going on in Iran right now with the demonstrations over the "election".
A good blogger with some unusual, rare, insider information about what's going on in Iran is going to get massive backlinks to his/her site in just one day. Think about it?
