links from bad sites ?

[raven]

I started receiving requests from illegal sought of sites. When asked to exchange links with these types of sites i turned down their requests. In case these sites do not remove the links to my sites then what are the options available to me.
AND
If i can not control who links to my site then why should my site be held accountable for the illegal sites that are trying to tarnish my reputation.

first of all let me clear your doubt, when bad sites link to you it won't effect you coz search engines are aware of thr fact that you can not control who links to you but if you link to a bad site then you will have to answer.

don't worry, just decline their request

I still have some concerns over the direction that the engines are moving with regards to linking. I recall reading that sites can be adversely affected by the sites that link to them. For example, what is stopping a group of sites from linking to your site and making it look as though the links placed on their sites were purchased links?

I understand what you are saying here and yes it does sound a little conspiratorial however, the group of sites that seems to be targeting one of my client sites seems to be doing so for some reason unknown to me. The only thing that I can think of for them to be doing this is to try to bring this site down in the rankings. I hope that you are correct in your assertion but I am leery until such a time as I see no harm being done. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
