Be careful where you get links - Link Farms

Every where you read about seo people are looking for how do I get links to my site. Now that has become common knowledge that the more links pointing to your site the more power your site has to get ranked in Google. The big issue where are your links coming from and what kind of links are they.

The key to all link building is solid one way links from good quality websites. This isn't always so easy which makes proper SEO so important.

Link Farms can get your site crushed by Google. So what is a link farm? The easiest way to explain it is site A puts a page of links on their site to sites b through z. Then sites b through z put the same duplicate page of links to each other sites on their website. This can mulptiply by the thousands and we have a link farm.

Don't confuse link farms with directories. Directories is one site that has links to many different sites based on categories. The key difference is that you won't find that same page copied on all the sites that the directory links to.
