What is bad neighborhood

To me, bad neighborhood refers to those back links you get from a sites that is:

1- Warez Sites
Warez site refers to a site that hosts illegal stuff such as download for Microsoft product, Credit Cards etc.

2- Hacking Tips Sites
This includes those phishing sites. This sites are considered bad in my honest opinion because they are teaching people to share illegal stuff and tips to hack into others’ servers. Definitely not a good back link.

3- Pornography Sites
Yep, you know what pornography sites are, right? There are cases that these websites hosted trojan files. When visitors visit their sites, they will get infected with trojan horse if their computers do not have Anti virus protection. Definitely, a no no to get link back from them.

4- Link Farm
This refers to a website that list unrelated links together. This is different from web directory where links are placed in the right directory.

In short, bad neighborhood are those sites that is considered unacceptable to most people. This concept is similar to the ethical concept in our daily life. So the next time you request back link for your site, remember to check the background of those sites.

Good luck.
