With Social Media Daily, and now 30 Minute Backlinks, I’m often asked if it’s OK to get links to a brand new site and/or will getting links to a new domain get it “blacklisted.”
In short, the answer is yes it OK and no it won’t get your site “banned.” Every site desperately needs links, and going out and getting them will not hurt you. You may have heard eejits on forums telling you getting too many links to fast can hurt your site – and that’s true. But there’s a BIG variable in their scare tactics – the “too fast” thing. Truth is, if you generate 1000 links in 3 hours from ONLY Blogger blogs (for example), yeah, that *could* (maybe… it doesn’t always…) raise a red flag in the search engines eyes. It takes some black hat voodoo to make that happen, and the search engines know it.
However, building natural links to your site via Social Media Daily or 30 Minute Backlinks is perfectly normal and acceptable.
Here’s how a brand new site developed links with 30 Minute Backlinks and the results it produced. It’s not “blacklisted” and is receiving search engine traffic (awesome numbers too, by the way).

Hi Michelle, more great advice, thanks!
P.s. Got a copy of 30 minute backlinks, working through it when I have spare time (not much) but can see huge potential for building links!
Hello Michelle,
As usual you always seem to come up with valuable little nuggets of gold.
Many thanks
Hamant
Awesome Peter – and thank you Hamant!
Hi Michelle, Just wanted to let you know that I agree with you on the getting links too fast theory and also wanted to know how I can view the video in this post. When you click to play You Tube says the video is no longer available. Anyway keep up the great work with valuable posts like this you earned another RSS Subscriber..:)
what happend to the you tube video? It says its no longer available.
Hi Michelle Nice article, if getting links to fast resulted in a blacklisting – I am sure that black hat webmasters would use it to sabotage competitors .
I see two of you can’t view the video – don’t know why… It’s up in YouTube still & getting views. Maybe try clearing your cache?
Here’s the direct link if that’ll help:

Yes, you are right Michelle. As long as the links are natural and not spammy, your site will benefit from the link love.
Hi Michele
Are any other costs involved in your 30 minute backlink course? I am familiar with the technique you are teaching (I think), but when I have looked at it previously, there were other costs involved. It would be helpful to know the extent of the costs for the additional tools.

i really like the cats in the background. it made me laugh. How many cats do you have?
A quick question Michelle. If your 30 Minute Backlinks are so good, then why does the http://www.30minutebacklinks.com/ website have ZERO (0) page rank ?
@Adam – We’ve got 4 cats. We live on 5 acres, so it’s good for the mice population.
@Stuart – Google’s visible PR (what you see in the toolbar) is only updated every 3-6 months, so a brand new site, from me or anyone else, will have PR zero until Google updates visible PR.
Regardless, PR is absolutely useless if you don’t rank for your search terms and get traffic. I really wish folks would stop focusing on PR and instead focusing on raking for decent keywords, generating traffic, etc. If you focus on those other things, the ego-boost of a decent PR will follow (and that’s all PR is good for – an ego boost).
I completely agree with you. Search engines should be able to identify between “natural and fast” and spammy.
Thanks for clearing this up. I was apprehensive to try your method because of this.
The site in the video is now on the first page for its keyword, both with and without quotes. I’ve done nothing else to it but run 30 Minute Backlinks. Brand new domain, no sandbox – RANKED! (And earning)

Is 30 minute backlinks about posting to web 2.0 sites?
Hi Michelle, I must admit I am an advid fan of yours ever since I came across social media daily. I do have a question: When we write a new article for our site, How many sites do we bookmark it with at first, how much time do we let pass before we bookmark our site again? No one talks about this in any great length. I am trying to develop a daily promotional game plan to start advertising my site, but I just don’t understand this social bookmarking strategy to well. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
@Business Opportunities – no, it’s not web 2 link building.
@Regenna – I bookmark anywhere and everywhere, all at once.
Great info. I have received and heard conflicting advice on this subject a little. In addition, I had a site in the top 5 for its keyword and I just paid for 200 directory submissions and the links were one way and not spammy. However, I have nearly fell out of the SERPs in the matter of 72 hours. Can you give me some advice or explain this? thanks so much.
I am trying your 30 minutes system.Great idea!
I am sure that if you suddenly came up with 200 backlinks in a day or two period (from software submission) Google will consider it funky and unnatural and allow you to rank on page 368.
How many links a day/week should be safe per/site?
@Chris S – the link building method taught in 30 Minute backlinks is actually a standard practice in the shareware industry (for about 8 years), so it’s not “weird’ for Google to see this happen.
@WebDesignStGeorge you probably need more links from places that are not JUST directories.
While there is a lot on the internet regarding new sites going into the Google “Sandbox” if too many links occur too quickly, is there any risk of a relatively mature site getting penalized for a sudden burst of links? I really like the video – some great tips to take notice.
As long as links are quality ones everything should be ok
I think what is more important in building link is link quality and relevancy, build links makes sense to mix up the anchor text and descriptions so that you are relevant for different keywords and do not make your link profile looking too unnatural
So, I just got done watching this video and then went to yahoo site explorer for the url that you mentioned – mytattoodesignslive. I noticed there are 2470 pages, wow. I also noticed there was only (1) inlink.
Is the method you teach in 30 minute backlinks only temporary? Why would the original inbound links disappear?
Thanks for the great value on your blog.
Jeremy
@Jeremy – Yahoo Site Explorer shows about 2k links on my end, the www domain.
Duh to me. I didn't include the www. Guess that's why you make the big dollars and I'm still learning, eh? Again thanks for the awesome value.
@Jeremy – No worries – we've all got to start somewhere and being inquisitive is what'll help you learn even faster!
So can you throw thousands of links a day on an aged domain….say one that is 10 years old and get away with it vs. a new domain?
I have always believed that natural looking link building meant slow. I am afraid to try doing it fast with my established site about ice machines and refrigeration equipment. This post is probably the first new link it has had in about 6 years. LOL
Next weekend I will put a site in a very competitive niche. I will build about 100 a week to see what will happen. They will not be spammy.
My plan was
1) Build a dozen hub sites that link to the main site
2) Build many high quality links to the hub sites
3) Very slowly build high quality links to the main site
It will be a whole lot easier to just build links to the main site. I hope it works!
