Link Farm Definition

Post Florida Action

[layer8]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I am continuing with my link strategy as I want my website resource rich for my visitors.

I have around 900 links and am looking to reciprocate them all, I have added a CGI search script to my homepage that offers my visitors the chance to 'search for a technology partner'

Will this by way of definition amount to a link farm?

All entries have been vetted by myself, all email requests will be sent by myself.

I have taken care to categories the links for management purposes and although it does not matter that much I have spent a lot of effort making sure they are relating to my visitors and website theme.

14 hours a day work and my girlfriend is still talking to me, but will Google give me the cold shoulder?

Incedently my compition on search engines have around 5 thousands links

Thanks in advance...

Presently, the consensus is that you may be better off just linking out and not being overly concerned about reciprocals, at least as far as Google is concerned. Incoming links are the "holy grail." Reciprocals became popular as a way to acquire incoming links. That entire tactic seems to have outlived it's usefulness, recent discussions suggest that Google is devaluing recips.

Before you ask, this forum is called Link Development and exists to discuss ways to acquire incoming links. If you dig back through some of the posts, you will probably find some useful ideas. :)
