But it seems like if you get a lot of crappy links, er, low quality links too quickly, it could have a negative effect. Especially if all your links use the same keyword text or if it's all links coming from the same link farm or some other similar scheme to trick the search engines. It seems like sites that get a lot of viral links or links from the press, etc, don't see the same kind of penalty as getting a bunch of junky directory links. So aim for quality over quantity when it comes to links. Yeah, it’s tough to get too much of a good thing (in this case, links).
