I'm wondering whether blog farms are effective in diverting traffic to one's target. Please let me have your 2-cents. Thanks.
When you start a blog farm and want to be successful. Spend your time on your content and layout. Don't think at it like a blog fram
For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with Blog Farming and to ensure that the more learned ones are talking about the same thing, a blog farm is basically a set of blogs that are interlinked to form a blog network. Ideally each of the blog would have a different IP address. Dedicated servers would do wonders. If done improperly a blog farm usually has a short life because reportedly Search Engines are always on the lookout for the same. Many are using (but nobody admitting) blog farms to get high volume of traffic. Once those blog farms are detected, they will build more blog farms. How do you explain about those making thousands from Adsense despite not having popular/leading sites? Blog farming? Forget about looking for ebooks, sites encouraging blog farming because nobody want to tell their competitors and the search engines that "Hey!!! I'm building blog farms". I'm already entering dangerous ground by discussing the matter here.
Its a dirty trick, for sure and I think overall it dilutes the quality of search results for us all. It is really too bad that this type of thing exists which prevents the honest bloggers from getting their content seen.
Using Link-Farms is penalized by Google Send a message to the Webmaster and explain what you are trying to do and ask his advice
Its blackhat it works and works amazingly well when done right, I do it and so what the content is spun, but its still readable I know it doesn't add value to the web but it does enable me to own entire pages on Google, so I do it anyway.
Nonsense. There is nothing dirty about it. The most wealthy SEOs all know how to scale, build mini-nets and to monetize networks, while adding value. The only reason why people think it is dirty, is because they want their own little blogs to compete, without putting the time and money into it. The internet is a meritocracy, not a democracy. You get ahead by out competing everyone else, not by getting an equal share regardless of how hard you work. Blog farms are not traditional link farms. Blog farms are not black hat. They are standard SEO for anyone serious about making money online.
The man knows what he's talkin about. If I am using a hand trowel, and the guy next to me invested the time and money to be using a dozer, then he should be able to move more earth. Nothing wrong with that. It's internet Darwinism.
