How many links do you blast to main site/tier 1/tier 2 etc. for a new site
Hey guys just a couple questions.. I've got a tier 1 blasting to my main site.. (it's my only site I run an online clothing company).. Only want around 20 verified links per day.. I am posting to pr>3 pages with <50 OBL for tier 1 and they are only articles, directories, and web 2.0's. The articles I am posting are highly unique and pass copyscape. Is 20 links per day going to my main site too much or too little? I've heard mixed reviews of blasting anything to the money site. I think 20 a day to pr>3 pages is fine though. Then on tier 2 I have blog comments/directories/forum/guestbook/social bookmarks blasted to PR>3. These are being blasted until I get around 50 verified links per day. Finally is tier 3 which is all the spam.. pr>1 and this is being blasted until around 100 verified links per day. Right now I might be getting a lower number of verified links per day.
Any suggestions you guys have would be great

Google has link graphs and make a good job of understanding what's 'normal'.
Saturated niches for example can handle more links since that's what is considered normal. Also does your competition have a lot of their links directed at the homepage or inner pages? again, you need to look carefully at what's 'normal' before you start getting links.
Spending abit of time understanding your niche in terms of seo strategy is crucial now, do this first and you'll have a much better understanding and answers to your specific questions....
@Dyekid217 - Linking to your moneysite has a lot more to do with 1) the age of your site, 2) the number of links you already have pointing to your site, and 3) your current link velocity.
If your site was brand new (or has no links), I would only do about 3-5 a day, then every couple of weeks, gradually increase the nuumber from there.
If you already have a large number of links pointed to your site, then what you suggested is safe.
What matters a lot is link velocity. If you build 100 links this week, then 500 next week, then 200 the following week, you are going to shoot that site into the ground. Have a consistent build pattern that increases slightly over time - what you would expect with a site that is increasing in organic popularity.
Try to keep track of the total number of links pointing to your site. Links do disappear. So when you factor in the attrition of links, you want to maintain a steady baseline of total links that gradually increases. You don't want to lose ground with your total links - that looks like a site in decay.
I always smiled upon high PR links, but since Penguin, I have discovered that it does not matter. I always loved it because it was the one thing that could game the system in your favor. Now I find that it is irrelevant in getting high rankings. But keep in mind that a high PR *page* is very different from what you are talking about, which is the PR of the *domain*. Those links you build on PR3+ domains have a pagerank of *NA* (which is less than zero), so don't deceive yourself. That page will never rise in pagerank above *NA* unless you have a tsunami of pages linking to it - and even then, some would be needed with genuine pagerank. Having said that, I have eliminated using the PR filter as it slows down GSA for all my projects. Plus, I have proven to myself countless times that it hasn't affected my rankings. So you can do what you want, but remember that Google is changing its algorithm all the time. Old SEO advice is old SEO advice. You have to stay current and test things out for yourself.
On everything except comment blogs, OBL is fairly irrelevant as they will almost always be less than 50. But I have taken the same approach as with PR. It slows down the software to count. You might want to separate out blog comments in a separate project to put a OBL filter on it because it will slow down target acquisition with other platforms, at least in my experience.
Lastly, you are safe to ratchet up your Tier2 and Tier3. Remember, the entire purpose of this is to pass link juice up through your pyramid and increase SE spider crawls that ultimately lead to your moneysite. You can easily go 10:1 or 20:1 on Tier2 for every Tier1 link you create, and Tier3 would be handled the same way relative to Tier2. When things are mature in a a few months, you can go without limits on Tier2 and Tier3.
Hope that helps.
Submissions per day. You'll end up with too many links if you do verifcations. You should create a separate project to hit your new tier properties. So don't redirect anything, Create a new project and *also* hit your new web 2.0 properties. Those properties may end up being on page 1 of the rankings in several months. If they start getting close, you then have the luxury to decide if you want to rewrite them into a sales page or product review. They will grow in authority just because of the linkbuilding activity.
@dimcik - Just so you are on the same page, your moneysite is not on any tier. It is essentially Tier "0".
Tier 1 is what directly links to your moneysite. On Tier 1, you want platforms that generate articles, like articles, web 2.0 and microblogs. Tiers 2 and 3 are everything else, or anything you want it to be, usually the crappiest links that you can get in high volumes.
Tiers should always be contextual links i.e. links within the body of the content like articles, web 2.0, wikis, etc. Most links used in tiered link building like blog comments, bookmarks, guestbook, image comments, etc. should only serve as secondary links and not tiers.
To get contextual links in GSA in project window select all links and then un-select links "that use no contextual links". Use this format for both tier 1 and tier 2. Tier 2 you can also add forums, blog comments and directories. In tier 3 you can pretty much use everything. Also, use a tool like GSA SEO Indexer or a service like Lindexed.
Don't use all platforms in tier 1 i.e. linking directly to your money site. Many are bad quality links and will definitely penalize your site.
@GG - Use just contextual in Tier1. See other thread where I answered your question in detail here:

You can use blog comments if you use filters like PR2/3+ and OBL < 60 and also manually write comments that are niche relevant. Doing that I got over 400 comments overnight and a few were on pages with PR. But comments need to be relevant to the niche and make sense... not the usual great blog, great point, etc.
- must be 2 weeks old [so I am sure it won't get deleted]
- must be dofollow
- must have my targeted keyword
- must have domain PR 1> [If domain pr is 1 or more, chances are webmaster is not going to shut that website down..so i wont loose that link and tier2 link juice]
By going through this approach..i am using SER very efficiently.. I don't have to submit thousands of links.. SER only builts links which matters most to me..and this strategy is working greatly for me
Depending on the quality of your content, you may also find that they 'stick' better as they will look less spammy to any webmasters/mods.
