Hey guys, anybody knows if a link from a page with noindex,nofollow to a bad neighborhood can cause your site to be included in that bad neighborhood?

bcc1234, i haven't experienced it myself, but the safest way would be to use the robots.txt file to exclude the page, and as far as i know Nofollow is only for internal pages.
But i think you will be fine, since you are not in control of the other site (right?).

If you are the one linking out, I would not link at all if you know it is a bad neighbourhood. There would be little benefit to your users or your site.

AFAIK bots just follow or don't follow hyperlinks, regardless of domain. I wouldn't link out to a bad neighborhood, either. "You are who you link to." Why ask for problems?

We have several domains for our site and as google clearly prefers "no duplicate sites" i put a different index.html on all but one domain using noindex,nofollow
