Hello Friends


I just wanted to know if an SEO forum consider as a link farm.


Thanks

Is your question >>

Is a SEO forum was considered AS a link farm?

OR

What would a SEO forum consider to BE a link farm?

Just as confused as the above. =P

It's not that easy to unintentionally turn any kind of forum into a link farm so you should be fine if you make an SEO forum.

OR

I consider a link farm to an unedited list, database, or whatever that is built up of many outbound links submitted by the public. They usually will host many links to spam pages as spammers can freely submit their sites.

What's link farm?
For example TopLists I have joined with http://www.toppicturedating.com site could be considered as "link farms" but I never noticed Google to complain about those?

That is NOT a "link farm"

I don't think forums are considered link farms. Otherwise, people would be avoiding them. A link farm would consist of low quality sites which have a lot of links. They would probably be easy to spot.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the thread you've shared but I can't still understand what is a link farm. Can you elaborate it more?

Thanks

everybody has to link to everybody else.

Shouldn't dmoz be delisted from the search engines, obvious to anyone that all it is is a link farm.

No it's not, it is just a directory.

I don't beleive you're penalised for forum posts if that's what you're asking.

I think forum will never cause link farm and spamming
