Loganix is largely a self-serve platform, but we are always happy to help answer questions and share our knowledge where we can. So, what is the right answer for [how many links you should be building to a site]( Here are a few questions to help get a better answer than "it depends”. How established is the website? The link velocity and timelines for a brand new site are going to vastly differ from a site that has been around and ranking for years. The old "Google Sandbox" penalty has evolved over the years but still exists in many ways. If you're link building to a new domain, try to take things slow to start and then gradually ramp up as you see traction. What does the SERP look like/what are competitors doing? An established site in competitive SERPs won't look out of place with a number of links hitting in quick succession. However, a brand new domain targeting lower competition local SERPs - with most competitors having single-digit unique root domains linking to their ranking pages - is probably going to look really out of place. Evaluate the competitive landscape before committing to a link building quantity/cadence. Where are the links being pointed to? It's important to carefully [consider the distribution of existing or new links](. For instance, a new website may appear unfavorably if it has numerous links pointing exclusively to a single category or service page while neglecting the homepage. Excessive links to a specific page, particularly on a brand new site, can raise red flags with search engines. To mitigate potential algorithmic penalties, we prefer to adopt a cautious approach and lower the link velocity, ensuring a more natural and organic link building strategy that engages with the site's target audience.
