    Hello friends,

    Link Farms are the sites which have many outbound links, that are created with a purpose of raising site rankings. Link wheel is a strategy which includes high page ranked sites at one end and your site on other side..

    Thanks and regards

    Let me make you clear about this topic:

    On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a search engine (sometimes called spam-dexing or spamexing). Other link exchange systems are designed to allow individual websites to selectively exchange links with other relevant websites and are not considered a form of spamdexing.

    Search engines require ways to confirm page relevancy. A known method is to examine for one-way links coming directly from relevant websites. The process of building links should not be confused with being listed on link farms, as the latter requires reciprocal return links, which often renders the overall back link advantage useless. This is due to oscillation, causing confusion over which is the vendor site and which is the promoting site.

    Where as Link wheel is a widely used internet marketing strategy. The basic idea of link wheels is to create a pattern of links which flow from one website to another which would finally link to a targeted website requiring promotion.

    Link wheels fall under the category of search engine optimization, however, when social media sites are used to create the link flow the link wheel strategy becomes social media marketing. According to experts, link wheels have maximum effectiveness when the social media sites are used.

    -------------------------

    As per my opinion Link Wheel is the best process than Link Farm and after launching the Google Penguin - link farm / link sell-buy will be penalized by Google. So stay away from Link Farm. :)

    I hope it helped you.

    link farm or link wheel will be judge as over-optimization in New Penguin algorithm. So do not link between your network site to show how related it is.

    Thanks! I guess your informative post will help others too! And don't you think Link Wheeling can also lead to spam dexing if content amongst the sites are almost the same? Which Web 2.0 sites do you think are the best to create link wheel?

    A link wheel looks more natural and is harder for Google to discover, a link farm looks unnatural and Google can pick up on the fact that they have 100's of outgoing links very easily.

    Link wheel may be a terribly effective SEO strategy which will be utilized by anyone to boost the rankings of their sites. primarily, a link wheel leverages the facility of highly ranked internet two.0 sites to create targeted backlinks back to your sites.

    Link Farming is that the method of exchanging reciprocal links with internet sites so as to extend search engine optimization. the concept behind link farming is to extend the quantity of websites that link to yours as a result of search engines like Google rank sites in line with, among different things, the standard and amount of websites that link to yours.

    As the name suggests that link farm is unnecessary farming of link on web page which from point of view of Google is considered spamming so to stop that Google introduced a technique Google Panda and in that sites were penalized for few months.

    Link wheel is somewhat circular chain in which link form one article or blog is linked to each other and it constitutes a good technique.

    A link wheel is a combination of different links pointing back to your site.link wheel is the buzzword in website link building industry.. This is one of the best ways of building links in the most natural.
    Link farming is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group.

    I have never used a link farm but I used to use link wheels and I have gotten good success with them they brought my website to to the top Google results. But since the panda update they have not been as effective for me as they used to. I like to stick to more soild traffic and backlinking strategies they continue to give great results.

    This thread may very well get the award for being the most misinformed load of crap on DP today. You folks are completely insane. Link Wheels are spam, link farms....spam

    Only complete idiots subscribe to either but thanks for the humor.

    Link wheel is considered as white hat and link farming is considered as black hat. Because link farming is group of links whether they are relevant or not so it is form of spamming techniques as view of search engines.
