    If you are talking about followed sitewide footer links on client sites, it is generally not considered to be a good idea. In the end, though, I think it comes down to whether Google thinks the link was editorially placed there by the site owner as well as what kind of anchor text it used. When in doubt, no-follow them.

    Only if most of your links are with the same anchors or very low quality you can be hurt (by Penguin or manual penalty). That said you should care more about the link being from an authority website than for it being relevant.

    Relevancy is crucial. If you have a website that sells car parts, and you have hundreds of backlinks from websites that sell baby toys, it makes no sense. Google’s algorithm can determine if a backlink is relevant or irrelevant.

    Links from the body of the content is usually the links with the importance that gives reference to the website than the footer links to the website.

    Irrelevant backlinks are not good for SEO.
