Link exchanging and getting banned

I was once told that link exchanging with companies especially through exchange networking groups can get your site banned from Google. Is this true?

No it isnt true. FFA Pages and Link Farming may be a different story but even that is becoming rare these days. To be banned by G you have to some really bad onsite tricks.

Right. Getting banned is like getting a criminal record, as opposed to a fine. Linking to the wrong sites, could raise red flags, but even that is unlikely to get you actually banned. However, the value of inbound links from certain places could be worthless, so what's the point. Stick to getting links from good quality sites...the type you would want to link back to.
