It really depends on your skills and experience. If you are a newbie, obviously you would not be able to be as time and energy efficient as an expert. The more experience you have, the better you get at it. Also, it depends on what you are trying to do with your project and goals. The key is to work smarter, not harder.
The number of links you have is far less important than the quality of those links.
If you are building good links, you won't have to worry about building too many, because it's difficult to do.

@moxxom: Brah, I think it was pretty clear that he wanted to know how many he should get to not raise any flags to Google, not how many he can physically get.
Mah answer would be: As many as you can naturally (or *ahem* pretty naturally). Also, if you can, fuck links, get social media mentions. Unless they are really good links.

Depends on your goals.
Are these links going direct to your money site? Are they going to tiers ( wut, you dont have tiers? )?
Are you looking for long term ranking or short term where you can rank and bank?
Protip: It is generally easier to build less links now, then ramp up as needed.. then blast a ton of links now and maybe get penalized. Its easier to add later, then take away later.
On a new site, I generally build less then 5-10 links a week at first if I am looking to long term on my money site. I then build 10 links a day to those links ( my tier ) each after about a week. Rinse and repeat for lower tiers....
If your wanting to rank and bank short term, the above will prob. not do it.

For my homepage link: 1-5 links (since someone did this by sharing my content everywhere such as pinterest etc)
for my pages (targeted keyword): about 100 but not monthly
for dummy sites: as much as i can (but not monthly links)

It is always better to develop links gradually, And make sure that you are intended in building quality links. Diversify the links. and avoid building links overnight. You can build any number of link but dont create any foot print.
Take a look at how many unique domain links the top ranking sites in your niche have, then divide that number by 90. That would be the rough link limit per day?
Keep the keyword density to below spammy limits. Unnatural link notices also show up when your links have footprints obvious to google. Does this even make any sense to you?

with the new google updates I read anything more than 75/day will be ignored (aka you will get sandboxed)
You're right, I was just playing off 75 links a day thing. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
I try don't to build any backlink in first 1 to 2 months.
First thing I make is FB page and twtter page.
Then I post few messages on FB and twitter with backlinks to several inner pages.
Small link campaign to FB and T page is enough to index site very quickly.
Then I wait some time...
It's not easy to just leave project but you must do like that today.
After 2 months you can start slowly (first one press release, then few blog posts links on related sites)...it's enough for beginning.
During next few months I just to related blog comments and in content links (not more then 30 to 60 links per month).
Once site is 6 months old or more, you can push stronger but don't go to crazy.
This is long term strategy!
Sometime you want to jump in serp quickly and you don't care how long it will stay (for example new product launch)...in that case just blast links all around as fast as you can taking care about anchor diversity (naked, related, exact, generic).

Really? So I guess Search Engine Watch is a rubbish, troll site.
Obviously Google takes viral properties into effect (are we really that new to SEO?)
A new site, getting 75 links per day is going to be sandboxed.

Do yourself a favor and don't ever paraphrase anything... ever again... in your life.
Also, look up the term "speculation" and report back here.
There is no such number.. if you are able to build either with a bot or an army.. thousands upon thousands of links a month you should check to see if they are even quality.
Ding Ding Ding! This man has it right in my opinion. Quality over quantity any day of the week these days. I think that's the biggest difference versus a year or two ago.
