Why you need a lot of links
While conducting some link analysis recently I started thinking about the process that Google would carry out to see if a site was building links against their guidelines.
The key issue is that if a site has 100,000 natural links thanks to some tools or articles on the site it is very hard for Google to flag the site as being unnatural if they spot a thousand paid links.
On the other hand if a site has 2000 links and 1000 of them are clearly paid then Google might take a much harsher view.
Having a largely natural link profile allows you to be much more aggressive with your on page optimisation and to use paid links to build your rankings without appearing to be gaming the system.
Thanks for information. Google is bombing sites with paid links now.

Nice info but the question also is: do you want paid links at all?
A good seo don’t need paid links.

I agree 100%. It is the quality of links that matters. Do the work to get natural links.

Nice write-up. Quality links are way better than paid links and every site needs them if they want to be successful.

[...] and articles, these should have far more of an impact to your rankings if they only consist of a small percentage of your websites link [...]
