      Dear Mozers,

      I start promoting my website www.buy-hosting.net on a daily basis now. I would like to know, how many links would you seed per day. As far as I understood, it is important to stay constant in the number of links to seed every day. But isn't there a danger of going to the sandbox, if the number is to high? The domain has no ibound links yet and although it is 2 years old was only parked until now.

      Thank you for your advice and kind regards
      TImon Michael

        I wouldn't worry about anything. What you are describing is Google's defense against a Google Bomb. If they see way more links than they have found lately with identical anchor text pointing to the same place, they get suspicious. A little hosting site with no links suddenly getting some will not trigger any red flags. I would say do as many links each day as you can, you'll never get the sandbox effect or anything like that. As long as you avoid getting several hundred thousand links all at once with identical anchor text you should be fine.

          Timon, if your links are organic white hat links with varied anchor text, etc, you don't need to worry about building too many links.

            What's important to avoid is low quality links. For example, if you're submitting the site to one of those "We'll get you listed in 10,000 directories over night" kind of thing, you'll get hurt. But, if you're naturally building backlinks, Google won't care.

              Thank you,

              I thought about starting with directory links and footer links in really useful forum advice about hosting topics, I give to people. Are these "white hat"? What other link sources/tecniques would you suggest in the special case of my site?

              Thank you and kind regards
