This activity would trigger Google's Spambrain algorithm and ensure the backlinks were fully ignored.
Depending on the volume (100k is a lot) a human check may be made and result in a manual action against the site which would lower discoverability.
Discoverability correlates with link velocity, if velocity is uneven it is suspicious and punished.
It would help crawling and indexing technically but that's something you can do for free via Google Search Console with sitemap submission and manual index requests.
Automated backlink creation is and always will be a 100% bad idea in the short and long term. It is a waste of money and effort and only every something scammers and bad product managers endorse for their own benefit. Any positive effect always turns out to be misattributed.
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.
