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.

Link Popularity is defined as the "popularity of your web-site in terms of in-bound links and the number of resources over the web pointing to your website". Link Popularity is different from what we would normally claim to be link building, because it is more of a direct result of link building. The Link Popularity of your site is determined not just by the sheet "number" of sites pointing to yours, but rather by the intrinsic value of these sources according to Google. Link Popularity and Page Rank Link Popularity and Page Rank are completely different factors, since Page Rank is more of a number or scale rather than a clear representation of the "popularity" of your website over the web. Page Rank is often confused with Link Popularity for the wrong reasons.

IMAGE COURTESY: SEO HOSTING

SEO Hosting refers to the practice in which a website is hosted in a web server with a dedicated C-Class IP Range. This is done in order to eliminate effects of spam and sites being de-listed on shared servers. The idea is pretty simple.. If your on a shared host, there is always the change that one of the sites sharing the server with you might take up to shady SEO practices or spam. In this scenario, your server IP may get blacklisted by the search engines and may result in a blacklist or penalization for your website. SEO Hosting enables you to host yourself on a dedicated server and IP range eliminating these mishaps. Three reasons why you should be using SEO Hosting:

  1. It enables you to have your own unique IP range.
  2. It eliminates the risk of getting de-listed for spam because of spam emanating from another source in your shared server.
  3. It allows you to garner in-bound links more effectively.

The SEO Score is based on a number relevant key factors which include and are not limited to:

  1. Page Titles

The SEO score is not a "full explanation" into the Search Engine Optimization of your site, it is more of a retrospect into the Score according to the on-site crawlability of website according to the Google Bot. It is relatively easy to get an SEO score of a 100%, but the SEO Score is a major factor which helps in optimizing a page for the search engines.
