Does Google Penalize for too many inbound links?

Hi All,

I wanted to ask your opinions about this Googles penalty for having build too many inbound links in a short period of time

I need to do link building for a client and plan to simply build 10-20 links in a span of 3-6 months. Is that okay?

I plan to get links from good sources NOT blogs or forums. My client sells specialty electronics so i will only go to electronics review sites.

At any rate, this is a small site with currently 50 inbound links. will 20 additional links from quality websites that write orginal electronics reviews be a problem you think, in a 3-6 month window?

these numbers are OK, check all this link directories having much more links, don't link to sites which are against the Google guidelines

Blogs are one of the  best sources, highly trusted, crawled regularly, normally with lots of inbound links and expanding quickly which is why they are so abused on a near regular basis but you would be foolish to not aim to get links from good blogs as they will be exactly the types of sites that will bring you traffic and links.

i do only 7-10 inbound links per day, everyday...

That's a lot. How do you do that?

ive been using tools like SEO Elite, PR Backlinks Generator, Directory Submitter and Social Networking eList Directory.
