Ranking influence of links and traffic from pop ups

[Mo_T]

Hi,
Most seo's wouldn't like to get a link from a low quality spammy or adult content website, but what about pop up traffic from these websites?
just for this question please ignore "bounce rate" as a parameter.

just to be clear - a website that appear in a pop up from a low quality website , could he get hurt in the search results or not?

Do you mean these popups and pop-unders that happen when a visitor lands on the spammy site?

My question is - can they be a good quality sites if they engage in this kind of marketing tactic?

Personally, I would not like to have a link from these.

Yes this is what I meant,
it might not be the best marketing tactic, but if you can get REALLY cheap traffic (or lets say even Free traffic from pop ups)

Would you not take it when you know that traffic = income?
