      Hi Guys,

      How often should you aquire links without getting into trouble with Goolge?

      Should you aqure a linka  day? Or a link every 2 days?

      What should it be?

      Thanks guys

      Gareth

        Depends on the links.  If you picked up hundreds of quality links in a day you wouldn't be penalised (imagine a start up hitting the headlines). However if they are low quality then high numbers might be a problem.

        I know that some people who are getting links of "mixed quality" prefer to think in terms of X easy links for every Y quality one rather than just speed of acquisition.

                If it were me, I would do some competitive research. Look at the backlink portfolio of your competitors. Specifically you should look at the backlink growth month-to-month over the last year, find at the average number and then set a goal that fits within your budget for each month.
