Does the content your backlink matter?

[JimHalpert]

Say I post a backlink on a social media post that has a tonne of hateful comments eg. people complaining about trump or some other controversial issue. Would google penalize the link?

Cause it would be rarely a constructive discussion and just **** trump, he can kiss my a** or some other vulgarity etc.... Given all the comments would Google interpret the backlink content as say a porn website or adult related content?

"A page with inbound links relevant for Topic A, will make that page relevant for Topic A. But if your page is about Topic Z, that link is probably not going to be useful to you in terms obtaining a ranking benefit.

A web page does not inherit authority, it only inherits links and those links only matter when they are also relevant.

So obtaining links from social media or social bookmarking sites does not confer any particular benefit because they are inherently irrelevant and any inbound links are also irrelevant."

Thanks for helping me out.

My site is about politics. So I am posting this on a facebook page about politics. Isn't that relevant? Just that the comments section is a cesspool.

Regardless of being relevant or not, i would not direct any non-approved comment backlinks to my money site
