I have seen this happen first hand. A friend got his blog to crosspost to both his LiveJournal and his MySpace blog. He doubled the number of back links he got from every post he made, (a couple a day) his comments and traffic went through the roof, his technorati authority went from an 8 to 20 in a two week period, and in the same period his PageRank went from 3 to 0.

Has anyone ever shown any conclusive proof that too many links in a short time actually brings down the wrath of Google? I've heard this a number of times, but not seen any examples. Considering competition in general, the varying quality of links, and algorithmic shakeups ... it would be easy to see something like this once, and blame it on having got a number of links recently.

How many links in a short period of time will put you at risk of penalty? Are there any guide lines to stay safe?

Thanks!

As far as I know, Google doesn't penalize based on any terms. However, if you get too many incoming links in a short period of time you run the risk of penalization.

great article! do you think that 'baiting' is a gives the term 'linkbaiting' a bad precedence? it seems that some people think that 'linkbaiting' automatically means a trap of sorts. in the same breath, does google penalize for the term 'linkbait'?
