Hello, I currently am trying to promote a family friendly site. I also own an adult site that is a PR 4. Do you think search engines will penalize me for linking TO the family friendly site FROM an adult site (one-way, not linking back of course)? The main issues are that the link is "unrelated" niches and secondly it's adult despite being pr4. I hear a lot of debate about how usually one way links can't ever hurt you, but I also hear Google can suspect this activity. thanks for the insights! regards, Jay
In my opinion, Google won't penalize you for the odd link here or there, especially if you have a lot of good ones. Having said that, you may not get much of a boost from the unrelated site. P.S. I don't have a lot of experience with adult sites
I agree with CanadianEh in the statement... However I would still be skeptical.... Especially if the other site is hosted on the same ip block... They may pick up on them as associated. A PR4 backlink isn`t enough to risk it... Note... I don`t have a lot of experience with adult sites either
You may get no benefit, but you won't get penalized. Incoming links don't bring in penalties - they bring some or no value, but not a penalty, unless you suddenly get thousands of them.
