Wonderful! How can I hire someone to create link farms for my competition? and how long would it take before the site gets banned?
barcef, that's the stupidest idea I've heard in a long time. First of all, building sites like that can take time, and furthermore, there's no guarantee your competitors will be banned. Lastly, it's an unethical and cheesy way of conducing business.
Yes to which part? to the banning part, or to setting up linkfarms for the competition, so that they get banned?
If you get caught up linking to bad neighborhoods and doing black hat linking strategies them yes you can get banned. If you simply get listed in 10 different link farms and do not ever link to them then you are 100% fine!
It would be interesting to really find out the proper answer to this since everyone has there own opinion on the matter at hand.
