Backlink From Different Language Sites Will Spoil My Ranking?

Hi there!

Excited to joining this community.

The main question is that if I get backlinks from different language sites then that backlink will be worthy or non-worthy in the eye of search engine? I know if I target international market by presenting my content in different languages then of course it will be worthwhile for me. But what will be happened if I do not represent content in different languages on my site but get the backlines from other language sites such as: Chinese, Russian or any other? Also I have seen many sites which are getting backlinks from different language sites and they are just getting high authority. Is there any expert?

I would avoid trying to get links from off language sites as there is a greater chance, that even if relevant, those links will be considered spam links by search engines. Now if you have multiple language tags onto your site (but no url changes) then you may be ok, but if your content is only in one language, you should try to get links from sites also in that language.

As always will depend on how you do it!

If you do it in a healthy way, you will not be penalized and you will be great for the blog.

On the contrary, as discussed above, it is possible that they consider it as SPAM if you do it improperly and it is much worse

There's no use in getting backlinks from different languages unless your site talks about languages, travelling, political issues in that particular country etc. The link has to look natural and Google has to make the judgement that it's valuable for your visitor. It also depends on your TLD (.com, .co.uk, .ru). If your visitors are mostly from Pakistan, there is usually no value in backlinks from Mexico for example. Moreover, you risk getting spammy links and thus hurting your rankings.
