You must have “relevant” links in the same niche as your website or theydon't count or you will get penalized in some way by Google.That is another myth that gets passed around a lot. Sure, it's good to have relevantlinks and Google recommends it, but links that are not "relevant" also count.The Drudge Report was put on the "map" the day he broke the news that PresidentClinton was having an...er, indiscretion with a young intern named MonicaLewinsky. THOUSANDS (maybe even HUNDREDS of thousands) of sites linkedto him that day. Many of them were not in his "niche".A couple of months ago, I challenged my Physical Therapist (I have an old ankleinjury) that I could get him on Page One of Google for his keywords. He was at the bottom of Page 6. I did his links one night and then went to bed. The next day I gotup and checked and he was NUMBER ONE in Google for ALL his keywords. Notone of the sites I added his link to was "relevant" for Physical Therapy or evenHealth and Wellness. Yet they still worked that well that fast.If you leave out great sites because they are not "relevant" to your niche, you areleaving a lot of money on the table. I'd use them all. :-)

If you build more than two links a day, you will be penalized by Google.As far as being penalized if you build links too fast, you'd have to haveHUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of the same kind of links to have that happen."Natural Linkbuilding" happens every day. How many links do you think I'd getTODAY if I had some sort of breaking news about US PresidentObama? What if I knew something about his background that no one else knew? Iguarantee you, I'd get THOUSANDS.

The Drudge Report was "put on the map" the day he broke the news that PresidentClinton was having an indiscretion with a young intern named Monica Lewinsky. Not only did HUNDREDS of thousands of other sites link back to him that day, but many of them were NOT in the same niche. This is natural and expected byGoogle. What is NOT natural is building THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of links all in the same niche in one day. Then, you might be removed. But unless youare doing that, you have nothing to worry about. :-)Remember, people always recommend that you have SUCH "great content" thatother sites will want to link back to you. If you do have that great content, how areYOU going to control how many people a day link back to you? You can't. Googleknows and understands that.

I can't see my backlinks in SEO Elite, Yahoo Site Explorer, or some other “Backlink Checker” tool, so they don't count.This is as FAR from the truth as you can get. The "backlink checker tools",including Yahoo Site Explorer, take some time to show the links. Google will NEVER show them all to you. I was talking to my Physical Therapist the a couplemonths ago and he and I made an agreement that if I was able to get his site movedup in Google for his keyword, he would tell other business owners about me. Hewas on the bottom of page 6.I did the February links for him one night and then went to bed. When I got up thenext morning, he was number one for all his keywords! However, I tried to see his backlinks in a backlink checker tool and none of them showed. Not even a singleone! So the backlinks help your site LONG before they ever show up in a backlink checker tool. Some links take up to three months to show in these tools, but Googlewill "see" them almost immediately.
