Minimize risk with links

[Rob-]

I have a site with top position within my nish. I have got maybe 40 links in the last 6 months and now im wondering how i can minimize the risk for penalty.

Totaly i have maybe 100 links to my site. So my question is what kind of links do i need to minimize the risk.

Can you possibly post the link of your website so we can have a look at your link profile and spam score.

In regards to the links, there are many factors to consider. I'll tell you a few (what I think is a good practise for link building). First of all, don't purchase links (although Google doesn't really know if you've paid money or not). Try to get links from relevant websites to your own business, high authority websites with high Domain Authority, relevant publications and so forth. Avoid spammy websites (you can use Moz Bar to identify those) and keep the good balance between Dofollow and Nofollow links.

Check out the Moz Blog and Rand's whiteboard Friday for more detailed response, you can learn a lot from those guys.

My dofollow and nofollow balance is maybe 9 / 10
