Would a link from an unrelated website, that is popular, help me ?

[sonic22]

I have a website that gets 200,000 visitors a month. It is a very popular financial tool. I have another website that sells widgets, but honestly, not really related to the financial tool. I would like to help out the unpopular website by giving it a link. What's the professional opinion?

Hi there,

Short answer: No it wouldn't.

Long answer:
The way you, and everybody, should think when it comes to creating links is: If I were a visitor on this site (Financial) would I ever be interested in that other site(widgets)? 
That's the way Google expresses they consider backlinks.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR
