Is footer link bad or spam?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by Kavin, Aug 4, 2009.

    If I get a link from a footer section of a site will it be considered spam in the eyes of SE?

    Please share your knowledge on this issue.

    Thanks

    It is ok to put link in footer page base on my experience. But better to put as link in text in the body.

    Please don't offer seo advice if you have no clue what you are talking about.

    I once purchased footer links from a site with 50000 pages. Guess what? I got deindexed 2 weeks later. G didn't like it. Never again!
