Should I only get links from sites relevant to my niche

    Does it matter where the link comes from as long as the anchor text is right ( will it still help my site grow?), I know its best to get links from relevant sites but is it still good to get any link as long as not from porn sites etc.

    get as many links as you can from relevant sites but if you get an opportunity to get a backlink form a good site, get the links. any backlink will count considering it is coming form a good neighborhood. its just that relevant backlink counts more

    I put my signature link on every forum I'm a part of, not just the ones that relate to my niche.

    get as many links as possible.
    The relevant ones will be good, but it doesn't mean other will be bad.

    It's not black and white. Comparatively a relevant page that gives you an anchor link is much better than a non-relevant page giving you an anchor link but it doesn't mean non-relevant links are useless.

    Have a look at the top results for "website design" all their links come from unrelated clients sites, so there is the proof that unrelated sites do help your serp's, although if they were all from other web design sites they would have even better results....................... Oh, they are at the top anyway :eek:

    I'm positive that a link on a higher Page Rank site will push juice your way.
    I have seen this happen time after time.
    Perhaps Serps won't be as good in a different niche?

    wellbacklink from a website related to your niche is much more powerful than a backlink from other website but a link is a link and you shuld grab everyone u can find

    backlink for same niche helps to drive traffic, Backlinks from other pages helps to get higher serp. If all backlinks from other pages were dofollow then your site may be ban because of spamming.. So combination of dofollow and no follow will be the best.

    Yeah as well as the quality of backlink .. which decided the rank on major search engine.

    Don't just increase the number .. increase the quality (PR,Alexa,do follow..etc) as well.
