    Link Baiting - Writing good content that people will naturally want to link to.

    Link Farm - Any group of web pages that all hyperlink to every other page in the group. A link farm is any group of sites that all hyperlink to every other website in the group to increase search engine optimization.

    I think Link farming is group of website which is use to get back link but search engine consider it is form of spamming.

    Link baiting is any type of attractive content or plan to get people notice on your website. We can also say that it is one of the website advertising techniques.

    Link farm is a group of sites that is points to each other in the group which is called spamming according to google. Link baiting is a type of content creation designed to attract traffic and back links to your website. That's why we give value to Link baiting rather than link farming.

    It's really a confusing point, both terms Link Bating & Link Farming looks like same. But their are a huge difference b/t both. Actually "Link Bating" is create that type of link which is totally natural given by peoples as reference if your content is too good or informatics. At the other hand "Link Farming" is create that type of link in which their are a group of web pages of any type & each of them is contain hyperlink for all others. :rolleyes:

    Link bait is something on your website you hope the visitor will find irresistible, and then go back to their website and put a link to your irresistible content. Link bait does not violate Google Webmaster Guidelines.On the other hand Link farm is a website set up with the solitary function of increasing the link popularity of other sites by raising the number of incoming links to those sites.
