Will a link from a banned website hurt me?

[rajesh1094]

A website banned by Google placed my website link in it will it effects my website traffic.

If it effects, what is the solution for it?

Please note that I my self not placed the link in his website through link building, so that I can remove the link from website, but he placed my link in his website for the content of my website, so how can I solve this problem or remove my link from his website?

Rajesh,

it depends on several other factors, for example how much "google trust" your site has overall. My simplified take is : if it's the only link to a page, it may hurt, if the page already enjoys few good no-nonsense references - should have no effect on SERPS.

It shouldn't affect you just as long you do not link back to it. I believe that is the Google stance on one-way links. If it is a banned site they will probably just ignore it but then again, I don't work for Google.

I agree with Pico - so long as you don't recp you'll be fine, after all if all was needed was to add a link onto a banned site competitors would be setting up links just to harm their competitors

Agree with other responders; the only thing you might want to do is to enhance your website to attract more high quality links, because a few more links from bad neighborhoods could harm you even though you did nothing wrong.
