smithveg Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I had read an atricle from proquest about the seo. In the following, can someone in this forum, tell me what's the meaning to link farm. How about is some other site simply put a link in their site pages (somewhere non-content pages or bad pages) and link it to our site. Will it influence out site? The articles as below, Question: What procedures will cause my site to be penalized or even banned by the major search engines? Answer: Major search engines penalize or even ban Web sites that use deceptive techniques to artificially drive search results. Here are five practices you should avoid: Shadow domains. Many search engine optimization companies will create multiple Web sites by using several different domain names to artificially boost search results for one Web site. These represent one of the most common tricks out there. Doorway pages. Creating doorway pages, or duplicating similar content on several pages to expand keywords and drive traffic, is inefficient and can hold significant penalties. Instead, focus on altering and optimizing the actual page. Invisible text. Using text that is the same color as the background of the Web page used to be one of the most abused approaches to drive traffic to Web sites, until the search engines cracked down on this method. The more effective alternative is to make the content on the site as descriptive as possible for users. Link farms. "Linie farms" are used to create links to your site from other irrelevant or illegitimate Web sites. There are natural ways to build your link popularity, but as a general rule of thumb you never should link to a site that you don't know. Cloaking. This technology shows a Web surfer one version of a page and the search engines a completely different page. Check your site by searching your Web address and; clicking on the "cached" page. This will show you what the search engines are seeing and indexing. **** Hello World! ^.^ I'm a Internet naive.

Jack_mcs Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 A link farm is a site that has a large number of unrelated links on their pages, usually without any or much text, and is meant only as link exchanges. It is a gray area though because there are legitimate link directory sites that fit that description. Google says Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.So your site could be affected if linking to such a site. The best practice is to only exchange links with sites that have something to do with your product line. That, too, is not always a clear choice though. You probably meant "cloaking." It refers to showing the search engines one page when they visit a link while actual people will see a different page for the same link.

zhexiang Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Exactly... Normally a link farm has more than 100 links that are little or not related at all with that particular site... Avoid link farm, your site will get banned from major search engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamoeffects Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Unless your site is in a highly competitive category, delving into the gray areas of link farms is not necessary. SEF URLs with lots of keywords and links on the pages and you'll be good to go. Please use the forums for support!
