Default Re: Can inbound links really hurt you?

So, if i can sum up what we've decided so far... Bad links in vast numbers wont do your site any good. Some people think that they will have an negative effect, some think bad links are essentially seen as neutral.

What makes sense to me is that the punishment comes when you build too many links from sites that are hit by PageRank drops. I have to say that i have seen evidence of this a few times. But that is the only pit fall I've observed from bad linking.
