Backlink Relevance ?

by abarton Posted: 16 years ago 9 replies

Ok I wanted to clear this up because I keep hearing different opinions on this.

If you place a link on a non relevant but well respected and high PR website, does that link still carry the same value if the site subject is completely different?

Basically if I have a weight loss site, and post a link on a well respected video game site. Will that backlink still carry the same value though the subjects are not relevant?

An obviously relevant link will carry more weight, but any decent link will do.

  Find sites with same content as yours will be a better backlink...

Yeah, if it comes from a relevant website then the Google algos actually recognize this as it looks more natural, so that link will be worth a lot more than one from an off topic site.

  And the debate lives on...
  
  Is there any way to really know the answer to this?

  This has certainly not been my experience. Similarly, Google rewards non-natural looking links and likely always will.

A link is a link is a link...unless it is a bad link neighbourhood or an exchange.
