    Irrelevant backlink

    Does backlinking from irrelevant websites have any impact on ranking. Also i notice one of the websites for which 50 high pr backlinks were build. After a week, its PR is 5 and most of the keywords are on 2 page. How can that happen when people work for months and months doing backlinking.

    of course not. it came from you, an irrelevant website, so how do you expect to come up with visitors? backlinks are useless if there are no visitors on the site you placed the backlinks

    There used to be a time where a link was a link. Obviously, not all links are the same but it would count for something, even if it provided little value. How much water that holds post-panda, I don't know.

    Quality over quantity any day of the week. The more relevant and natural, the better chances you have for the link passing value. It's easy to waste months and months of time chasing a high quantity of links. Earned links are the ticket and much more difficult to get.

    Of course not, generally backlinking should be to relevant websites so that we could get quality backlinks from that. It is not a good strategy to do only ones satisfaction that backlinking would be got by irrelevant websites.

    After Google latest update Irrelevant links consider good, but not more its called diverse links, It should not be increase more then 20% to your all back links,
    Diverse mean links should have sense relate to your site. SEO Professionals recommend diverse links should be high quality.

    It doesn`t matter if the backlinks are relevant or not , it matters that the backlinks to not be added in a speacially linking page, because you will get penalized by panda algorithm which disaprove to have backlinks in link directories

    Backlinking from irrelevant websites can do lower your page rank and can do lower your keywords ranking in search results. If you get all the high pr backlinks from relevant websites, your website will get high page rank and your keywords will rank high in a very less time.

    Whether it’s about linking out or getting linked, links have got to be relevant. After Google rolled out its Penguin update, link relevance has become an issue you can’t ignore anymore. Links that fall outside of your own niche are considered to be irrelevant by Google because they are not of any help to the user.

    According to Penguin update relevant backlink is most important for website because Google Penguin is focused on web spam. So you cannot use irrelevant back link for website otherwise google will get penalized.

    According to new updates of Google irrelevant back links are harmful for your page rank and search engine ranking.
