can anyone tell me if getting links from suppossedly unrelated sites can lead to a ban on your site on search engines?
I know of well known sites that do have links to unrelated websites and are doing quite well on the search engines, What do you guys think?

unrelated sites can lead to a ban on your site on search engines?

The only way it could lead to a ban is if you own all those unrelated sites--and/or they're hosted on the same IPs or class C block of IPs.

Basically, if you're running a mini-network of sites that network can get shut down.

Otherwise, if I put links on all my sites to your unrelated site without your permission I doubt if I could get your site banned. Your competition cannot hurt you.
