SEO Myth #1 - Building Links Too Fast

This is one of the biggest SEO myths circulating the Internet…building backlinks too fast.

99% of the time, you cannot build links too fast for Google or any other search engine to care let alone penalize your website. First of all, links have to be indexed which takes some time. It can take several months for some links to get indexed.

I have built quite a few websites in the past 5 years and can tell you that the speed of link building should not be a concern unless you buy 100,000 links in a single day. I have added several thousand links in a 30 day period and never had any problems. It took a few months for all of the links to get indexed anyway.

I have ordered 1500 - 2500 link directory submission services in the past which were completed in 10 days. There were no negative results. After the links were approved and indexed, the blog gained PR and received more traffic. This does not happen overnight though. Be patient after you do link building. Give it time to gain PR.

So don’t be concerned with building backlinks too fast. You will not get penalized by any of the search engines.
