    Hi,
    I was wondering does anyone know about the myth that google bans website with high rate of backlinks which are not so much related to your original site. Lets say, 1000 footer links from different websites which are not related to the site they are linking to are not so good or even bad?

    I hope you get my point.

    If your site get backlinks from bad sites, this doesn't influence Google to ban the site. Only the site hardly get top ranking at Google.

    Make sure to acquire high quality backlinks from good sites only for your site. No problem, if you try to acquire backlinks from sites which not related to the niche of your site.

    Basically backlink is useful for ranking and search result. If you have good backlink from well known website similar to your website, then it is huge useful for SEO. Otherwise bad backlink can let down your website positions and SE results.

    No one can handle this bad backlink problems. If you have a rival website similar to your website, then the webmaster may put some bad link for your website for free.

    It is one of the thousands parameters of SEO techniques. If you are creating 50 blinks everyday and your site is still new, probably you would not be banned but your ranking would be in low level, also your keywords ranks.

    Sites that are not related to you and are pointing to your website give a negative signal, but does not guarantee that you will be penalised.

    No use of getting 1000s of irrelevant links and wasting time and money. Better get 100 links from relevant and high authority sites, if possible and find the difference.

    Good luck

    When you will place your link at all sites your clients will buy: it will help but not sa much as releated links. However, most people use unreleated and spammy links and they are still ranking.

    Backlinks relating to the niche are more important when link amount increases, or if you're just starting SEO on a young site.

    Over time, as it is natural to get backlinks from all kinds of sites, if your links have reduced niche targeting, you won't get penalized, but you won't get ranking benefits.

    Its good to have backlinks on related sites but such sites are very tough to find and if you find them then its even tough to place links on them. But if they are auto approved then OBL of such pages can be a problem what to do yaar...

    Keep building relevant, manual, slow, natural link building and forget all the things.

    Quality backlinks are important. They don't need to be relevant. Google never ban a site for irrelevant backlinks.
