subject: When To Stop Building Link [print this page] Based on experience, the moment you stop building links thats when your Google ranking start to sink. So definitely, you dont have to stop building links regardless whether your site is on the no. 1 page of Google and other major Search Engines. You have to bear in mind that youre not the only person doing the same thing. Do not be complacent and always watch your back. Its like deciding whether you have to stop promoting your site or continue campaigning for it.
Building links encompass many activities. Generally, you dont build links for the sole purpose of gaining as many links as you can. You also build links to advertise your business and attract as many potential clients as you can. So if you think you have enough links, well, theres always an option to slow down. When you slow down the process, you also have to strategize at least just to maintain your position. Its like, when you believe you already built a foundation then the next thing to do is how to strengthen this foundation.
Well, this is me speaking, personally, I dont recommend site owners to stop building links. Thats a big NO for me. If just in case you really dont have a choice, lets say I dont have a budget, time constraint or just feel like, Im on top, whats there to worry about. For case where you think you dont really have a budget, good news, you can actually do it yourself. Have the initiative to learn the process; there are huge resources on the web that teaches you about link building. Time constraint, outsource link building. Time constraints with no budget to outsource, as Ive said earlier, you can always minimize your link building effort but you have to strategize. Being on top that gives you an excuse to be complacent well.. well.. well.. if youre willing to gamble your position that more or less represent 60% of your market, go right ahead.
