Linkbuilding from different niche!

[leadsprofi]

Hi Mozzers,

I have a small question.

If my website niche is Rent a Car, and lot of friends, people around the world, have restaurant, for example friend of me was a CHEF of restaurant for about 15years, and now he started working with Cars, how is danger if he receive backlinks from the restaurant websites?

Its this danger? can google penalize the site if receive backlinks from different niche,different cctld domains,and language too?

Thanks

It's not a fine art. Google is far, far, far from perfect. Just build links as you would, just try to find places to post more niche relevant than your competitors, so you have the upper hand.

Just maked some competitor analyse, maybe 85% of backlinks, are from different niche. 15% image backlinks, 25% widget backlinks, 10% like article, and the rest only keyword with link on it or URL.

Why google doesnt penalise this pages?

Do you mean from 100 different domains, or completely backlinks.

Because i see here, he have more than 25,000 from 50 root domains, because their partner have placed the link to him at all pages.

And some of them arre on blogroll, on any right page of site the company name of this car website, and link, nothing more no descripton nothing.

Should i tell him to make a descripton about 50characters with keyword on it?

Google will not penalise you from getting links from different niches. The links will not carry as much weight as if they were from relevent content.

Google will penalise you if this is done in a spammy way. For example, if you all of a sudden receive hundreds of links from restaurant sites, where there is no context to your content, Googlebot is going to find this strange and potentially raise a flag against your site.
