I'll put them here, b/c Google is known to be the most strict about (seemingly) spammy link-building.
1)Say I make a site about tomatoes and give a useful tip on this site (which applies to other vegetable and fruit, too). Now people who have sites about bananas happen to find this tip EXTREMELY useful, so I get a bunch of links from those sites. Will Google consider it off-topic links or will it a)be able to understand, its a related topic or b)just assume, that because all of those links are coming from ONE certain topic, that its not spammy?
2)I had this thought in my mind, today, that successful link building is all about viral marketing. I used to think SEO and viral marketing were 2 different internet marketing techniques, but if an idea spreads like wildfire, itll help you with link building and thus SEO, too.
So:
Can I assume, that the algorithms detect a spammy link building campaign, not just because its too many links in a certain time frame (great content might get hundreds of links a day), but
because there's a certain peak AND because after that sudden peak there's no exponential growth factor whatsoever (which would equal the growing number of people who see the content willing to spread the idea/content further)?
per-day-example:
1 link..1 link..1 link..1 link..1 link..1 link...10 links..10 links..10 links..10 links..10 links..
a link pattern to good content, would probably look like this (I assume):
1 link..1 link..1 link..1 link..1 link...10 links (somebody saw the site somewhere and thought it was great, so he told more people about it)..20 links..40 links....60 links......(as in its a snowball effect)
