If i get most of my backlinks from irrelevant dofollow blogs/forums is Google going to penalize me.I find it difficult to get many dofollow blogs/forums in my niche so I'm trying to get backlinks from other high Pr blogs from other niches. Is it fine.I heard somewhere that 80% of the backlinks should be relevant and 20% from irrelevant sites.
Relevant links may carry more weight but your site will not be penalized for getting non relevant links. There is no such 80% , 20% formula.
Irrelevant links are fine. As long as you are commenting the right way by adding to the discussion, I wouldn't worry about the fact that the links are from off-topic sites. Despite what anyone says, irrelevant links can assist you to rank well for your keywords.
Harmful? Not likely. Otherwise, your competitors could point all kinds of such "harmful" links to your website. Google understands this, so don't worry about inbound links being harmful. Outbound links ... now that's another story entirely, since you control them.
This is what I'm looking for "irrelevant links can assist you to rank well for your keywords". Is this true Thanks
Surely irrelevant links are harmful. Never try to get links from irrelevant websites, blogs etc. Thanks !
I think it will not harm your pr rating if it is non-adult, non-gambling, not a hacking site, hate, racist site. but if your backlinks are in these 4, probably you will be tagged as in the bad neighborhood.
As long as you post quality comments you will be fine. It's impossible to have links only from relevant websites. Just check how many links adobe have and almost none of them are from relevant websites.
The link will not be harmful, only you won't rank high for what you really want to in search engines. Google looks at how powerful a link is and how related it is to determine how much link power is transferred to you.
It will take a lot more of them to do anything then it will if you would stick to relevant links. If you keep gathering these irrelevant links, your site will start to look like a link farm and Google frowns upon link farms.
Relevant or irrelevant, link is a link. You get more weightage if links are placed in relevant websites.
I think there is no problem with that, I usually used in relevant forum signature.. but that's ok, my site still rank well
As long as you dont get from porn or spam websites, it should be ok. You can get useful links from commenting on relevant articles in Hubpages. Both my blogs are dofollow, you are welcome to make meaningful comments.
Irrelevant site are not harmful as long as it is not about porn, linkfarm ,site penalized by google and gambling By the way is I would like to asked if penis enlargement site considered a bad neighborhood too?
