    Hello everybody!

    Can someone look at this site: www.topzunesites.com and tell me if Google would consider that a "link farm". We are looking at putting a link there but we don't want to be penalized by Google.

    Thanks!

    Link farm is usually densely connected group of sites.

    I agree. It's not a link farm. Note, also that they are a brand new site (18-Jul-2006). They have no backlinks or link popularity of their own. You can check it out here on Alexa. Not that there is anything wrong with that, or that you shouldn't, Just an FYI, since I am unsure of your objective of placing a link to your website there.

    I agree that the site is not a link farm. However this site does have some backlinks pointing at it. 104 according to google http://www.google.com/search?source...7,GGLJ:en&q=link:http://www.topzunesites.com/

    I think it is ok to put a link on this site.

    You can't be penalized by Google for somebody linking to you, only by you linking to a bad place.
