Whats a bad neighborhood?
A bad neighborhood is a link farm or other untrustworthy source of inbound links. In other words, it’s a place you need to stay away from. Bad neighborhoods include FFAs, gambling sites, porn sites, and other sites susceptible to spammers. In fact, many of the ads you see for software that claims to give you thousands of visitors for a very low price is actually software that spams public message boards. Don’t ever buy this software or hire anyone who does this kind of stuff. You may get a few visitors, but it will be webmasters and system administrators trying to look you up so they can blacklist you as a “bad neighborhood.” You don’t want that! Link exchanges, when done properly, will help your search engine ranking. Inbound links from bad neighborhoods will not.
