Backlinks from foreign language websites?

[smokin_ace]

I have faced an interesting situation about linkbuilding strategy. Currently I am doing SEO for one of my clients located in United Arab Emirates, so accordingly he has a website in English language. And keywords are in English.

So what do you think, can the links placed on Russian language websites pass some link juice (make a positive impact on rankings) and in which language (Russian or English) should be the text surrounding the keyword?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Fiorst are they good links, are they relevant, are they spammy, this is more important.

Linkbuilding is very risky these days. Forcing links that will not be detected as such is very hard to do. i would be very carfull what links you get.

Better to get one good link then 1,000 spammy links.

at best spammy links will not add value at worst they will get you penalized if not now in teh future.
