Are 100k backlinks useful for early discovery? 6 months ago
When launching a new product on a fresh domain, one recurring issue is slow discovery and indexing, even with decent content.
I’ve seen some founders use very high-volume backlinks (100,000+) early on — not to rank money pages or bypass quality signals, but purely to:
speed up crawling and indexing
create initial link discovery
avoid months of low visibility
The idea is to separate:
backlinks for discovery
content + editorial links for rankings
From your experience, does Google still tolerate this approach if it’s used only as a launch-phase accelerator and not as a long-term ranking strategy?
Curious to hear how others here handle early discovery on brand-new domains.
