How many backlinks is it safe to create a day?

Honestly there is no easy formula... Why? Cause it depends on:
  • Website's outstanding link profile
  • What kind of backlinks you are building
  • The index rate of those backlinks
  • The quality of your backlinks

Sometimes you need to take a pause, step back, and see if what's going in terms of your rankings, traffic, bounce rate, and conversion, BEFORE you proceed on doing backlinking again.
 
thanks for this, I currently build 3 a month to a particular site, what happens if I have a month or two where I only build 1?

I guess it makes a bigger difference when you're scaling and building 100s of links vs just a few?
The key is that you need to look natural. If your site has ~50 backlinks from semi-low traffic sites, 3/mo is right about where you'd want to be. But if you have a bunch of backlinks from CNN, Wikipedia, and similar authority sites, only three new links a month would be unnaturally low.
 
if you have a new website then start slowly, start from 5/day and then increase the numbers slowly maximum up to 30/day
