How does Google feel about BL's from Adult sites?

I have several BL's from some prominent adult forums and communities (at least 4). The BL'ing Domains contain Words such as "p.o.r.n" and "x.x.x". Will this relationship raise a red flag for Google? most the BL's come from "off topic" forum sections.

What do you guys think about this?

Thanks

This is a question for the Google forum rather than the Adsense forum.

Perhaps I should have been a bit clearer.

My Web page is an MFA site, its only purpose to make revenue from Adsense. My concern is having my Adsense account suspended by perhaps breaking some Ads policy or suggesting affiliation to an adult network based on the BL's.

I found this to be the most relevant of the various Google related sections.

If anyone can share some insight into my dilemma, I would be greatly appreciative.

nebula, MFA is associated here with spammy sites, junk sites with scraped content etc. From what I remember of the Adsense rules, creating a site (or page) just to run Adsense is a violation of their TOS.

What are the topics of your pages? Do they violate Google's ToS?

Since in general you have no control over who links to you, I don't see that in and of itself as a problem. (But I am not Google, and there is nothing I could do to get your account reinstated if I'm wrong.) Especially if they are completely off-topic. However, traffic from those sources may not convert well (especially if it off-topic), so you may get hit with some sort of penalty that may or may not exist at this point in time.

Thanks for the reply LifeInAsia

I have flash games on my site. I agree with the idea of the Webmaster the not being able to control who back links.

I'll sit back and hope for the best..

Thank a lot =)
