Recently, there are hundreds of link farm sites and word cloud sites popping up daily, some of them are even PR3+, they sell permanent links very cheap (like 3$ for a lifetime link). They have hundreds of outbound links. Do you think they will help in link building?

I think Google takes any web page which has more than 100 links as low quality unless links are well organized. I don't think those sites/pages would be much useful.

I doubt word clouds sites will last long as soon as the owner sold all the links available he no longer needs to improve it anymore.

I was also wondering the same thing. I mean if he is regularly selling links, revenue is coming but once all links are sold, no revenue will be generated so how will he manage the expenses (domain renewal, web hosting etc.) for rest of the life?

I think there are differences between a "link farm" and a directory. The latter
tends to be of of a higher quaility if done right. Word cloud sites if customized can work. I am tempted to start one myself as long as it is a niche and done well. but, perhaps its a fad and will fade away.

Link farm is a sites that features links in no particular order which are totally unrelated to each other. Links on pages like these offer no link popularity benefit whatsoever.

I have never liked those life time stuff becouse thats impressible. Same for a word cloud sites too. After all blocks are filled i don't think owner would pay much attention to the site. Also this kind of general sites links quality is low.

Well so far in waiting for the Goog Update (export) to happen, I have heard from many that there PR either went to 0 or fell big in Word Cloud Sites!

I believe they are dead!!

It is like alot of things in the internet, here today, gone tomorrow!!

The Million Pixel scripts were very cool when they first came out a few years ago and people actually looked through them at ads but then there were suddenly 9, 000,000,000,00,000 sites out there so they started to be no more than a link farm! I believe that is Google's pint of view and they are being Stamped Out as we spek!!

I think that's pretty ridiculous, when you come upon a site and see a massive link cloud on the homepage lol.

Backlinks should be natural; not forcedor paid for IMHO.

Google denies to sell or buy link ads.But nobody is there to obey it.All are busy for linkbuilding.Everybody needs higher PR.Link Farms & Word cloud sites
are part of this idea to grow their backlinks.
But the back links should come from higher PR websites as well as those websites should have same niche.This is the only rule to better link building.:)

Whats ur views??

They might in the short term but most often than not Google will disregard links from these sites so better save your money from something else.

These word cloud sites are pointless mainly coz those backlinks doesnt come with related content. I mean a backlink from a page about homeloans is differnt from "homeloan" back link from a word cloud site which has nothing to do with homeloans. Also we cant be sure how long will their PR last or the site last.

I wouldn't bother with them. I believe it a trend and it will die. Directrories may be good when done with the wright way and when they come to stay. I believe that in sometime these kind of sites that come everyday in mass will die. And think smth if you have a site and sell pernament links for 1$ how much money you will make? how much time you will be able to maintain this domain(profitable)?

If a page with PR3, and on that page you put so many outbound links, those outbound links will be extremly low quality. If you keep a PR3 sites, and just put only one outbound links, the power is much more. That's the key.

Link farms that have many links in them are so bad for seo. If you use them your rankings will start to drop little by little. Even if the farm site has PR it's still not a good thing for .

weblord

my main site is a link farm but i do it via affiliate program's links and it's a pr3 link farm is old school

I think, Link Farm is considered as Black Hat Technique...
