What are Link Farms?

Link Farms are sites which link to every other site in the same network.

A link farm is categorized by a large number of links being given out from it, and its primary motive is to manipulate search engine rankings.

Link Farms are based on the theory that popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN base their rankings partly on the basis of in-bound links from external sources and link popularity.

Links Farms were initially developed to increase the Page Rank and in-bound links of all the sites participating in the network, but were later forced to evolve due to issues of fairness and manipulation of these link farms.

Five Reasons why you shouldn’t acquire a link from a link farm:

  1. Links from link farms are usually junk and are of little or no value.
  2. Your site may get penalized or blacklisted for participating in link farm mechanisms.
  3. Links farms link out to many other sites, so obviously they are being seen as SPAM by users and search engines.
  4. Link Farms may be penalized themselves, resulting in these links being of no value.
  5. You may get reported by someone for acquiring links from a link farm or, linking out to one.
