<b>A link from a .xyz or .ru domain is not toxic by extraction</b>
<b>The myth:</b> certain TLDs and country domains are inherently spammy and should be disavowed on sight.
<b>Reality:</b> Google has stated repeatedly that no TLD carries an inherent ranking penalty or boost. A link's value comes from the page and site behind it, not the three letters after the dot. Cheap TLDs attract more spam, sure — but that's correlation the algorithm reads from behavior, not a blanket rule you should hardcode.
<i>Actually,</i> the "toxic TLD" filter in audit tools is one of the laziest heuristics in the category. It flags legitimate businesses and developer sites along with the spam.
Reality check: judge the linking page, not its TLD. Extension is not evidence.
