    Hi everybody.......

    I requested a link exchange with another site the other day and the webmaster refused. His reason was that I was linking to a link farm. What did he mean by that?

    Link farm is nothing but huge amount of blogs owned by you or any other guy
    on which all your links are posted. Mostly it is trated as spammed links if not done
    properly.

    Link farms are sites that link to others with the only purpose of increasing their backlinks. These link pages doesn't provide any benefit to users. Links are unrelated to the content of the website.
    Generally links should be exchanged between related websites. Because Google dislikes links between unrelated content.

    A Link farm is basically among a group of website in which every website display links of other website from the group. It is done to perform fast indexing of website and also called spamdexing.
