Hey SEO experts,
I have a question for you.

I don't have a website or a blog yet. But I will start a blog in the near future. However, I'm still curious and would like to know if it would hurt my website or blog, if I got hundreds of backlinks in a short amount of time? - Like overnight or so.

I mean, Facebook or other "super" websites like CNN or whatever, should most likely get hundreds of backlinks per day, right? - So if I create my own blog, and "with some magic" would get let's say 300 backlinks in one or two days.

How would Google react to that? - And most importantly, what would happen with my blog?

Best Regards,
hitmeasap

Well I think it would damage a new website. If you suddenly go from no backlinks to gaining 300 backlinks daily I am sure that will alert Google that there is something fishy going on! Plus if you are gaining that amount of backlinks daily then most likely it won't be manually built right?

I would much rather order a service that does the backlink building a little more naturally. That's not to say you can't one day build 300 backlinks in a day, just not for a while. I would build up slowly over time.

I totally understand what you mean Lynne, and I had the exact same thoughts at first! - However, I also started to think about the word: "Viral". I mean, YouTube videos for instance. They can literally explode and millions of people are sharing them just hours after they've been published.. So, that should count as backlinks too, right?

As, a backlink, is basically when one person have shared the content somewhere else, so even if people are sharing it on Facebook alone, it should still be backlinks.. Or am I totally wrong here?

I guess Google don't look into these things man?ually, so they can't see if it's actual viral content or not.. So how do they calculate and decide this?

Yes I'm sure that it would count I just can't see that a lot of brand new websites with hardly any content will go viral very easily. I think it is more people that have been working for a long time on their websites and that already have a good few followers and loyal fans already.

Read what Mike said in my recent topic about removing a Google Penalty. From what he said it does appear that Google does often do a manual penalty. What probably happens is that there are certain things that Google has set to alert staff to and then when there is an alert then someone manually checks the website. I'm not sure if any websites get like automatic penalties or not.

I am sure that Google has that viral thing covered because it does happen and they cant just give everyone a penalty when their website goes viral.

When I first read about keyword stuffing, I readily believed that the search engine can easily notice the excessive keywords on a web page. The crawlers have the capability to check on the amount of keywords. But with the backlinks, I still cannot believe until now that search engines have the capability to check each and every backlinks that are pointing to your site. My question is how would the search engine know that your site has hundreds of backlinks overnight? Can anyone explain this for my benefit, please?
