We all know that links into a site is a good thing. We should know by now that one way links are better than reciprocal ones.
It’s tempting to set up a number of sites, all related to the same topic, and link them to each other in order to gain more ‘link popularity’.
And it used to work.
It doesn’t now – don’t do it. Get good quality links from good quality sites (preferably not on the same server as you) and use anchor text wherever possible.

No link farms……. Google doesn’t like it.
This is interesting, but how does that then explain the rise in popularity of mom directories like

http://www.themomsalon.com

and more? Thanks – Coolwebmom.com
Hi Coolwebmom
These aren’t link farms – they’re directories.
A link farm is a group of websites (usually in the same IP range) who all link to each other.
Sorry it wasn’t clearer.
