What are bad neighorhoods?
Bad neighborhood is a term used for websites, which you do not want to link to, or get links from. These sites are penalized by search engines, or on their way there, for violating their guidelines. Bad neighborhoods sites use black-hat techniques to trick search engines or visitors. Or both.
Google's quality guidelines and information about link schemes are helpful on the topic.
How to tell a bad neighborhood site?
Easiest way to spot a bad neighborhood site is, that it contains pages that consist mainly of backlinks, performs strange redirects, shows different content depending on your browser's Javascript being turned on or off etc..
When linking with bad neighborhoods, you risk that when they get penalized or removed from search engine's index, you go down with them, for participating in their evil & sinister activities ;)
