You are known by the company you keep. If your blog links to a bunch of unsavoury websites it could leave a nasty taste in your visitors’ mouth and tarnish your reputation. Courtney Tuttle put me onto this little tool that crawls your linkees and comes back with a rating. Check out Bad Neighborhood.
Note 1: Bad Neighborhood is heavy-handed. It flags words without regard for context. It crawls the linkee’s entire site, not just the page you linked. You need to take its result with a grain of salt. I have an attribution to a wholesome-appearing WordPress themes site in this blog. Spicy keywords in an entirely different category triggered the alarm. Even the word “ph@rm@c3utic@l$” sets it off –I guess that’s a taboo subject now.
Note 2: Bad Neighborhood just provides results for you to view; it does not produce a badge that you can display.
