---- Can sites that are linking to you that have a G PR of 0 hurt you?

I understood that your website can suffer if a penalised site or "bad neighbourhood" site links to it

This is one of the most prevalent myths going. I think it was from someone (or several someones) confusing what CAN hurt your site - linking FROM your site TO a "bad neighborhood" URL or link farm. Links FROM the bad page TO you cannot hurt you. At worst, they give you no help.

I got this very explanation from GoogleGuy quite awhile ago when I asked in another forum. Take it or leave it.
