A link farm is categorized by a large number of links being given out from it, and its primary motive is to manipulate search engine rankings. Link Farms are based on the theory that popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN base their rankings partly on the basis of in-bound links from external sources and link popularity. Links Farms were initially developed to increase the Page Rank and in-bound links of all the sites participating in the network, but were later forced to evolve due to issues of fairness and manipulation of these link farms. Five Reasons why you shouldn’t acquire a link from a link farm:

1. Links from link farms are usually junk and are of little or no value.
2. Your site may get penalized or blacklisted for participating in link farm mechanisms.
3. Links farms link out to many other sites, so obviously they are being seen as SPAM by users and search engines.
4. Link Farms may be penalized themselves, resulting in these links being of no value.
5. You may get reported by someone for acquiring links from a link farm or, linking out to one.

It might be otherwise defined as the process of trying to "acquire links from a source which is not relevant and which doesn’t want to link out". Otherwise, it is the process of over-acquiring links from a particular source in order to increase search rankings without taking into account relevancy factors. Link Spamming results in the acquisition of links which are of low value and less authority. Five Reasons why you shouldn’t involve yourself in link spamming:

1. The links acquired from link spamming are of low quality, and won’t help too much with Search Engine Rankings.
2. Link Spamming can be reported by a webmaster or a website owner and you can get penalized for it.
3. Google will eventually catch up with link spamming techniques and link spammers and devalue such links.
4. Link Spamming creates a bad example – its almost like your setting a bad precedent.
5. You are providing bait for others to spam your site by spamming theirs.
