Google considers relevant theme based links...
any non-relevant links wouldn't be considered ...

and too many links may just trigger google's scanner to take action against your website...

Absolutely incorrect and illogical. For most sites, the majority of links will have nothing to do with the theme of the site being linked to. Commercial sites may have a lot of backlinks coming from industry-specific sites. But, for the most part, how much natural linking is going to occur with a, for example, online pharmacy anyway?

The only thing that makes a link relevant or not is the anchor text.
