Is there such a thing as a bad link?

Daniel Green Banned Posts: 32 Trades: 0 Talkupation:	I've seen quite a few posts and threads here discussing what factors influence the quality of a link, but I was curious to hear people's thoughts about whether or not a link could actually cause any harm. Would placing a link on an unrelated page with a low PR and many other bad links do any damage to one's SEO efforts?

It may not have any useful value but it will not "harm" AND BTW unrelated or low PR are NOT measures of "bad links". Links from Scraper sites, banned pages, p0rn, pharmacy, gambling, FFA link pages etc etc are NOT "bad links" and are NOT going to "hurt" either. SE engineers are well aware that a site operator is not always in control of who links TO the pages on a site. __________________ Chris. ->> Please login or register to view this content.
