So do we have experience from a Member that has linked to a banned site and seen the impact in Google, Y and MSN?

Personally I know one particular Member here that thinks it has little impact if any to continue to link to a banned site. I can't say whether this is still the case, but he was adamant that Google had no real beef with whatever he linked to (and he'd know as the banned sites were his).

But getting a site banned for ranking too well using various loopholes IS a little different to scumware and pop up junk.

I'd be interested to hear opinion from someone who regularly gets scum sites banned (not that I'd expect anyone to out themselves). But I think there are different types of 'bad neighborhoods'.
