and this is why you shouldent have links on linkfarms like the one he is trying to get you on:

Link farms are pages that consist solely of links to other pages but fail to offer any kind of useful content themselves. Site owners typically place their links on farms to artificially boost linking popularity and thus rankings on sites like Google. Some link farms are automatically generated, while site owners manage others as a repository of reciprocal links.


Why you shouldn't do it:




Human-edited link farms are certainly preferable to automatically generated ones, but it looks pointless to site viewers to come across a page full of links with little to no relevance to your actual site content. The major search engines are starting to crack down on link farms by scanning for linking patterns that analyze inbound links to a site, and in some cases it can hurt your page rankings to be on a link farm.


It's important not to confuse link farms with actual pages of well-chosen relevant links. It is an excellent idea to email site owners that cover similar content to your site and ask them to post a link, but it is a bad idea to try to get a link posted to your site on every URL you can find that is willing to post a link regardless of subject matter.
