Not uncommon in some categories. It's why se's were so hot on building Web Maps. They can generate local visual web maps and look for linking anomolies. If they find a cluster of 1000domains heavily interlinked to one another and not much going back out into the web - ah ha - they can do all the damage to them they want. As I said, start looking at whois information for those domains that look like they were template built with near the same look and feel. Not identicle, but just near the same.
What I was asking was not about link farms Village, but about site/domain farms. I was suggesting that all those sites and all those links you are seeing, are owned by the same company. This is not uncommon. One of my prime competitors that I've been at war with for a client for 4 years, has over 3000 domains. You bet he has them all pumped up with links back and forth. Once he finds someone that likes to recip swap, he starts going down his domain list and swapping links from other domains of his using different email addresses. Most often, he pumps himself up in the emails, "I got your name from Bill over at the super site, want to swap links...". The guy he swaps with, thinks he's hit the motherlode.
