Several domainers who wanted to develop some of their domains and generate organic traffic emailed me up until this point and most of them had two things in common: their niches were not overly competitive and they owned the exact match domain. One frequent mistake domainers make is this: they hire a link builder who generates lots of links in a short timeframe.
So in most cases, their website has a weak backlink profile and all of a sudden, lots of links appear out of nowhere.
Does this look natural? Of course not.
Today’s piece of advice is especially important if your niche is not insanely competitive and you own the exact match domain: always go with a delayed link building approach.
So let’s assume you want 1,000 social bookmarking links.
Instead of generating all of them right away, why not limit yourself to 100 per week over a period of 10 weeks? Or 100 every two weeks and so on?
Most of you are domainers, so I’ll assume you own the exact match domain. This, corroborated with the fact that your niche is not insanely competitive, makes your situation one for which delayed link building is the best possible approach.
That’s it, have a pleasant Sunday 🙂

The worst thing you can do is to blast a domain with thousands of links a day for let’s say two weeks and then just stop one day all link building efforts.
It will take around one week till you won’t see your site in Top 100 Google results anymore. After 3 months site will more likely come back but I think it’s not worth to try.
I am mot domain investor so I don’t have exact match keyword domains so it takes extra effort to rank my sites, but at least I have some idea about proper SEO.

@Mike: exactly, that’s why delayed building is the best possible approach. I’d recommend playing it safe, especially if your niche is not *very* competitive.

Excellent Sunday Seo tip for domainers.I think we should do some special to win the trust of Search Engine rather working in bulk.
I think domain should be niche and keywords should be less competitive.
