What is Link Farm?

Link farms are networks of low-quality websites that exist solely to create backlinks. They link to each other and to paying clients' sites. The theory: more links = higher rankings. The reality: Google easily detects these patterns and penalizes everyone involved.

Check your backlink profile in Google Search Console or tools like Ahrefs. Look for: links from irrelevant sites, sites with no real content, foreign language sites you have no connection to, and patterns of many links from similar-looking sites.

You may have toxic backlinks affecting your site. Audit your backlink profile, identify low-quality links, and use Google's Disavow Tool to tell Google to ignore them. This won't instantly fix things but helps over time.

Because the links are worthless and potentially harmful. Creating fake sites and automated links costs almost nothing. The 'SEO' company makes money from volume. You pay the price when Google penalizes your site.

No. Legitimate link building involves outreach to real websites, creating valuable content worth linking to, and building genuine relationships. It's labor-intensive and costs more. If links are cheap and fast, they're probably from link farms.
