1. Page/website whose sole purpose is to exchange links for search engine rankings.
Um that would be almost everyone on this forum, I mean some people claim they just trade links for the 'visitor' but come on, who are they fooling
2. Unrelated links
unless a directoy is industy specific, it mostly filled with unrealated links, but i would mostly have to plead the 5th on this one
3. Titles or descriptions for the links in most cases is absent
do mean, no text outside of the anchor text?
4. Link farms are generally a group of websites crosslinking with each other.
Pretty much anyone who is involved with running more then one site is going to crosslink a little, I mean you would be stupid not to
I think it might become a probem when the only links going between sites are each other, but I havn't tested it out so I don't really know
maybe I'll buy a bunch of domains and try it just to see
5. They would never give you link without a reciprocal
well its either a link back or money, I don't know why a directory who just wants cash is some how more 'ethcial' then one that wants a links back
6. Only designed for search engines and not for the user.
Every site I and pretty much everyone one this forum makes is for the the search engines ..... and the user
I hate those stupid ethcial holy than thou catch phrases
"i design sites for the vistor not search engines"
"I don't chase algortihyms"
Who are they fooling if you don't design your site for the search engiens you won't have any visitors
anyways in the end google deceides what it likes and what it doesn't
so basically anyone who says a top ranked site is a link farm is bascially going against the highest authority, the actual serps
I read on another forum some one said that this is waht spam means
