      Hello,

      Am new to blogging and also new to link building and things are pretty confusing for me right now, I was told by a friend that have spent years in the industry that the maximum number of Backlinks you should build for a domain to stay safe is 2 daily, but am seeing different thing on the internet, so I wanna know the exact number of quality Backlinks one can build to homepage daily to avoid penalties, please I need suggestions from pros.

      Sergio!

        Hi there,

        If you have a brand new domain then your first backlinks should go the home page of your website. You do not want to start the link building process by build building an exact match and partial match anchor texts to your blog without building some authority/pillow with branded anchor texts to the home page. Everything should look natural in Google's eyes, so you should gradually increase the number of backlinks that you build per month. 2 links per day is way too much for a brand new domain.

          Hi Ross

          Thank you for your response, I really appreciate but my domain ain't pretty new, my domain is already 11 months+, but I haven't been building links for it, so do you think 2 daily is good for a start?

            Hi Sergio,

            If your domain 11 months+, I would treat that domain like new. 2 links per day is way too much, unless you can send some social signals from Facebooks Ads to justify 2 links per day. I would not build more than 10-15 links in the first month.
