It is a common question that many will ask when it comes to link building campaign. So, how many backlinks is good enough for a link building campaign? I would say it is depending on your ability and as long as it is not automated. If you can build 50 or 100 backlinks a day consistently, you still won’t be marked as link farm site. Basically, backlinks are something that we can’t control. We can’t stop people from giving a backlink to our website, right? Anyway, many would still think 50 new links a day does not look organic and may raise google red flag. Personally, I have tried building 100-200 new backlinks a day from blog commenting and never raised any spam alert from any search engines.
Getting backlinks should not be made automatic. There is hundreds of free software that post comments to thousands of blogs at one click. This kind of backlink creation is not motivated and can cause spam alert. Google hates automated blog comment creation. Same goes to any other directories using auto submission tools. There is something in blogging and website or SEO that still can’t be automated and that is link building. I suggest you not to participate in any automated link building activity as it may get us penalty. Remember, we want to improve our SERP ranking not completely remove from search engines.
Personally, I have a simple calculation on how many backlinks that I should make a day. It depends on number of comments I get each day. If my blog gets 20 comments a day, then I would make 20 new backlinks pointing to blog. Well, that is my personal exercise on link building for this blog. Website might be easier because there is less number of outgoing links created each day. I would say blogs give out more links out compared to static websites. If you have started a blog or website, I would suggest building 10-20 new links a day on consistent basis. Remember to mix and use several “anchored keyword”. For example, I always use “Atniz”, Atniz – Work At Home”, “Work From Home”, “Reena”, “Reena Ashwina”, etc.

That is a logic amount of backlinks to create a day, Fikri.
I’m sure you will see a huge numbers by end of the month or year soon.
For me, focusing on quality articles, then backlink will come naturally
Btw, great post again Reena 
It’s true quality articles will bring in more organic backlinks. But, competing with giants or new bloggers will find it hard in the beginning phase. That is where link building comes handy.
I like this post and I don’t mean that in a spammy sort of way.
Blogging is supposed to be about interaction and I believe a reader should respect (not necessarily agree with) an author’s opinion and respond in kind.
Automation of comments turns blogging into one giant supermarket bulletin board where one sales flyer is tacked over the last with no regard for the message the last person was trying to get out to the community.
mytheory – 100 meaningful comments in a day!! That’s a lot of writing!
It is all depends on our capabilities. I think google are good enough to detect automated link building methods easily these days.
hmm
i get confused now
how many comments should we make a day
is it 10-20 or up to 100 a day?
please reply me..
It is totally up to you. As long as it is not automated, any numbers will do. For example, if you able to be on top of Top Commentator widget on John Chow blog, it will give you thousands of backlinks considering that Top commentators widget are shown sidewide. Just don’t make it automated and you are on safe side.
oho..
i get it now..
Great! Good luck with your link building activities.
When starting up quantity doesn’t hurt but once you grow you’ll notice that you’ll naturally tend towards quality.
I don’t recommend using any automated backlink programs, why? because I had one and got penalized by google, users who used it got penalized by google too, so its just not worth it in the long run. Quality will prevail.
Quality is the best way of link building in long run. It is the only way to grow healthy for our blog or website. Let is be slow but steady.
Very useful info for backlink building. It’s time consuming also,i might be tempted using the automated backlink building program
It is tempting to use automated backlink building programs that is available online for free. But, there are higher chance for us to get banned or blacklist from search engines from doing it. So, it is good to go slow and steady. As long as, we can see some progress.
I’m still confuse about this back link no follow and do follow. But I always keep blogwalking and commenting on every great articles, like this one

i believe it takes large effort to build 20 links a days, especially when you have multiple sites.
It’s true. Multiple sites need a lot of works especially on link building. That is why probloggers or super affiliates tend to leave link building part to freelance. It is a lot easy to let this part to handle by those who knows well about it.
It sounds easy to build 20 links a day, but the problem is about consistency, I often fail about this one. In first month everything looks easy, but at the next months, it starts to feel boring. I think I need to find fun way to do it
I agree with you. Personally, I never do it consistently too. It is tiring and boring to do link building every single day. But, if we can find good motivation and fun way on doing it, I’m sure everyone will do good in link building part.
