Link bait, simply put, is content that is so funny, so interesting, so useful, or otherwise remarkable that it becomes irresistible to bloggers and website owners, who set up links from their pages to the original material. I've seen link bait take the form of Top 10 lists, humorous videos uploaded to YouTube, checklists, cartoons, tools, widgets and blog plugins — to name just a few.

link farm is several collection of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. even though some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automatic programs and services. :)

Thanks your feedback.  :)


I have read this in a article-
"When link devaluation is applied, as it has with reciprocal links as well as links from many paid text links, low quality web directories and link farming, the recipient website may suffer a reduction in Google ranking. The severity of any ranking fall is usually synonymous with the website's reliance on that particular type of linking."

Since the end of March, I had problems with the ranking of my website. I have a lot of links to my clients. Panda could interpret these links to link agriculture and penalized me?

Link farming is the practice to link a group of websites hyperlink to each other of that group. It is not recommended by search engine.
Because it may result that site will NOT be indexed in search engine and had a bad impact on SEO.
Linkbaiting is the process of creating an interesting newsworthy topic keeping SEO techniques in mind and post it on popular social media channels. This content/ feature acts as a bait and encourages others to link to it. There is nothing unethical in it and hence Google won't penalize you for it.
