[steveschmidt85]

Relevancy is the most important in SEO to get better results for the site. Whether it is relevancy of the links, or the relevancy of the content. If you have security products related site and you have your link at Mobile Manufacturer related site then it will be negative impact for your site. And this thing can be harmful for your site results and site might get negative impression in the eye of search engine.
