Fifteen links a week is suicidal-fast for a local plumber site. It's a rounding error for a SaaS in a hype cycle. Same number. Opposite risk.

Google doesn't grade your velocity against a global constant — it grades it against what's NORMAL for comparable sites in your space. The pattern that flags you is being a statistical outlier among your peers, not crossing some magic links-per-day line.

So every "X links per month is safe" guide is selling you a number with no denominator.

What's actually normal in YOUR niche? Most of you have never checked. 🔥
