LoL - you guys are funny! I think some of you spend all yoru time posting and spouting off what you have read elsewhere. Do youself a favor and test bofore you spread more rumors. Uh huh, so I what yoru saying is giggle will give you a negative penalty for having a link on another site? So.. I can build links for you and get you a negative penalty? hmmm Doesnt sound logical.. Now we have SEO's who build links to destroy some elses site! The simple fact is anywhere you get a link can only help your website. Of course if you have a brand new site registered yesterday and all the sudden giggle finds 1000s of links then yea, they will discount them.. At least for awhile. On a side note.. Just how many links on a single page would you consider a link farm? Think about it.. 1? 5? 10? 20? 40? 80? 150? What is your number? Now go ahead and count the footer links on this thread page. How many? I counted 45 - so is DP a link farm? DO these links not count?
Hey how about if i have 6 websites, and all on all of them i put my own links, is that called link farming too?
No, that is called interlinking. Matt Cutts has said this is ok if they are closely related. He also indicated interlinking more then ten sites was kind of pushing it.
