Abusive links submission

[webit40]

Hello,

I wonder how many links you can submit to web directories without Google realizes that there is something fishy?
I know that sending a massive amount of in a short period of time is not recommended, but I am sure there is a limit not to cross what would it be?

Thank you in advance for your attention.

You seem to be looking for a magic number. There isn't one. Or if there is, no one knows what that number is.

I suspect there are numerous factors and considerations including the source of the links along with your domain's authority.

Google does not make this information public, and for good reason. If we all knew that 100 links in a month is ok, but 101 is crossing the line then SEO would be a lot easier, wouldn't it?

Honestly i wouldn't bother much with submitting links to directories.  You can spend your time much more productively trying to aquire links directly from related blogs and local businesses or friends websites.  It takes a bit more work, but from my experiance those link directories are pretty much ignored by google, and won't gain you much other than an easy way to waste your time.

Try guest writing some material on a related blog, then you have full control over the link and the anchor text as well as the content it is surrounded by.

Thank you for your advice, i'm sure your right but now that you're talking about blogging and all, if you're doing that SEO activities for your customer, would it be risky to right something for them or do I ask them to invest time in blog post redaction?

I think it depends on the customer really. It might be wise to discuss your strategy openly with them, it is quite possible they have someone on their staff that could help you write copy, and save your time for more valuable things.
