Let me put two question:
Can you have too many links that can raise red flags?
Is 15,000 sitewide links are good or bad?
Let me tackle each one…
Can you have too many links that can raise red flags?
YES in some cases too many links can give you some penalty. For example…
If you sell templates and each user that downloads the template gives you a one way link from the template – and you have some 14,000 users (so 14,000 backlinks all with same anchor text) that’s not good idea.
I will do these changes:
1) First I will use other link building methods. So it’s not just these one way links from unrelated websites.
2) I will create different anchor texts for the templates – figure out some way that not all users that download the template will link back to my website using same anchor text.
I definetly don’t want 14,000 backlinks all with same anchor text. That’s so sh*t and so spammy.
3) I would even figure out a way that not all users will link to my homepage. So some will use different anchor text but some will link to some of the other pages of my website.
In other words I am getting links but in a natural way. 14,000 one way links is amazing.
But ONLY worth it and good if:
*You have different anchor text in the backlinks, some with your main keywords, variation of your main keyword, related keywords and variations of your related keywords.
*You get links point to your homepage but also to your other pages of your website.
That looks natural.
Second question:
Is 15,000 sitewide links are good or bad?
Sitewide links is different than the example above – these are all links on the same domain. So a website with 15,000 pages will give you 15,000 links, one link from each page.
Google does not count all backlinks you get from any one domain.
So it’s not useless… but you won’t get that same value as appears.
I would not buy such thing… for that simple reason that Google with count just a bunch of those links (will give you credit for only few links) and ignore the rest.
Seems pretty on the surface (waw 15,000 links – that’s insane!) no? But Google has a way around this, they know sites can sell these links.
Such “loopholes” to get a ton of links fast is ending…
Years ago you could by hundreds or thousands of links from ebay, and instantly get a high rankings. Not anymore! Google had a way around that “loophole” of fast rankings – which is nothing more than cheating. Google wants quality websites… not webmasters who cheat their way to the top!
Remember the first example is totally different than the second example. The second example are just links on same domain!
