You might be penalized for buying links or organizing any kind of venture which culminates in what Google describes as a “bad link,” but the newest news on Google’s approach to linking is that not all bad links will end up damaging your site’s rating or quality score.
 
Why? How? When? What!
 

Google states that it ignores bad links

You did read correctly. Google has recently gone on record for saying that website owners don’t have to worry about every single bad link that they might have associated with their site as, in actual fact, Google is sometimes in the habit of simply ignoring bad links and moving on. Google ignores links on Updowner.com, for instance, which as most people are aware is considered to be the source of a bad link.
 
Therefore, even though good links and bad links do exist, website owners don’t need to be so worried about the bad links that they have driving traffic towards their sites from now on. Google has spoken and confirmed its stance on the matter quite clearly. 

Does this mean that making an effort to create good links is pointless?

The simple answer to this question is no. It is still important to make the effort to generate natural, good links from other websites which rank highly and have earned a good reputation over time.
 
In particular, take note of the quick tips below which highlight some of the best ways of generating good links that Google approves of and will reward you for. However, the good news is that website owners can relax a little and not worry if a poorly rated site is found to be linking to them. Google is astute enough to waiver bad links when a website’s content is good enough to warrant such a waiver.
 

25 Quick tips for generating good links that Google loves

Google has now confirmed that not all bad links will hurt your site, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t focus on generating good links and developing good linking strategies in general.
 
Therefore, if you are not employing the following strategies as part of your link building plan at present, make a concerted effort to do so as soon as possible.
