What is a link farm?

People are saying that Google does not like "link farms". What exactly is a link farm? How many links on one page constitutes a link farm?

 

its a group of websites with links to each other.

 

What if one website has too many reciprocal links, is it considered to be a link farm? If so, how many links are too many?

 

if those links are not relevant to your site then its link farm and according to google guidelines:

Link farm is a page in which you can find many links, means there is no restriction to add new links.

Its a tree where you can find new fruits(links) daily.

 

When there is so many outbond links in a single page called link farm

 

the way I understand it. A link farm is a site that does not contain any content at all. It only has outgoing links. I hate those sites, they are like bugs. I just want to get a rolled up newspaper, and squash them. hehe 8D

 

Link farm is usually a network of websites that's created specifically for advertising and providing backlinks. I can give recommendations via PM if interested.

 

Yes link farm is a form of spamdexing.Nice link to post here.

 

a link farm is a link page where you can find big list of links and you can post your own link, in return for a reciprocal link.

 

For me I define link farms as a collection of unrelated links. That's why it is consider as link farms.

 

have more than 100 outboundlink in 1 page

 

This would be better now to keep links to 15 to a page

 

It's a page that only shows lots of links. No real content. Only links and links and links. Some use them to make sure SE spiders, crawl thru all the links but the best way to get listed is when SE find your pages without any "tricks". Good ol' fashion way if you prefer.

 

Thanks for information I need it

 

I also have some problems understanding what really Link farm is ..By the way is it the same way wherein group of blogs hosted in one IP address?

 

Thanks for the information...
but have a confusion regarding "link popularity". what it is exactly?

 

to be honest, don't waste your time with link farm! Google and search engine's don't like it and it's probably already banned by now.
