Interested in ranking higher?
If you’re interested in building and using your own blog farm, than this is the post you’re looking for. I’ve created a 4,555 word long ebook to talk about how to setup and use a network of blogs as a link farm to promote your content. Originally I made this as a video, but converted it to an ebook so it would be easier to follow.
This is a straight forward, no BS, ebook about blog farms.
If you want to go ahead and get the blog farm ebook, all you have to do is enter your email address and the video will be sent to you. It is free and I do not share your email with anyone.
If you want to learn more about the ebook, then keep reading beyond the form.
So the ebook is based off my original powerpoint video that covers the basics of a farm blog. In this book I share many of my ideas and tactics when setting up a link farm using both free and paid blogs.
Topics Covered
- What Are Blog Farms
- How to Best Use a Blog Farm
- 8 Basic Rules for Farm Blogs
- Paid Farm Blogs vs Free Farm Blogs
- Two Types of Blog Farms
- Understanding Farm Footprints
- “Can Money Sites Be Farms?”
- How to Use Your Blog Farm
- Network Design Concepts
- Recommended Tools
The ebook is my opinion on setting up blog farms, which might be different than other methods you’ve read, but this is my advice and suggestions. The ebook is higher quality than the video and is easy to follow. For now, it will continue to be a few ebook. All you have to do is signup to receive the blog farm guide.
If you’ve been looking for a free guide to blog farms, than this is the ebook for you. I decided too many people talk about using farms, but never really explain it. The only times I’ve seen it discussed is behind closed doors, so I came up with a happy medium. It’s free, but still behind a closed door. The passing visitor can’t see it and you actually have to sign up to access it.
Of course some people may disagree with my recommendations, but this is my method and my suggestions. I am very conservative, so that is how I teach the topic. My focus is to teach you how to build a blog farm with the least amount of risk.
If you want to get the ebook, just sign up below.
If you signed up for the video, you do not need to sign up again. I will be emailing everyone who previously signed up with the new ebook. I will also contact you with any need additions to the ebook.

Justin, you should be ashamed of yourself. =) Using good info like this to build an opt in list. What will Griz think we you start trying to sell us stuff like an A lister? LOL!
********************************
First several comments are about the video. The video has been replaced by an eBook.
********************************
lol, well I kept getting organic traffic related to this, so I figured I might as well try to benefit from it =P I don’t use Adsense here, so I stick with affiliate products =P
I kept if free at least. I don’t plan on spamming the hell out of the list. I’ve never used a list here, so I thought I’d play around a bit with building one.
Good idea; the hosting alone should work out well. ;)
Hey Justin, I just wanted to give you a compliment on the video. Very informative for any newbie looking for info on getting ahead with link farms.
I’ve always known that putting G analytics on all my sites will get me burned (I don’t normally use it at all) but what about other third party analytics like Statcounter and Sitemeter?
I think I remember Vic one time inferring that its possible to decipher identity through Statcounter project IDs and I seem to remember reading something about that but that was ages ago.
Just doing a basic search, the only thing I came up with was a flaw having to do with webmasters clicking referrer urls originating from a Statcounter console. Basically, a webmaster sees a referrer url in his stats, clicks on it and when the referring webmaster checks his stats he sees the Statcounter referrer url in his stats. He clicks on the statcounter url and voila, he has access to the other webmasters project list. However, this can only happen if the first webmaster is disallowing cookies and access only lasts a session.
Sorry, guess that last part really wasn’t about farming links but I’m just curious (and sometimes a bit paranoid) about any traceable footprint.
I think any system that uses a specific id can create a footprint. The degree that these are being tracked is debatable. My focus on footprints wasn’t to create paranoia, but I wanted people to be careful.
I personally have no interest in tracking the stats on my farm blogs, so I don’t worry about that. It comes into play more when you link your money sites too much. If you’re doing it in a legit way, you’re ok. (Griz has 3 MMO blogs that share links and use Adsense, and he’s ok).
If I really want to keep stats, I use stat programs that read log files, like Awstats in Cpanel. The number of “producing” sites I own isn’t so huge I over stress it.
And I haven’t used statcounter much, so I don’t know a lot about it.
This video will be fun. I have been trying to research the topic since I read Vic mentioning it in one of his posts. But have only found extremely black hat tactics that are not very stealthy like using Yacg or setting up feed scrapers and spamming with Xrumer. There a some Black Hat scripts around that seem to be really good but some of them even cost more that a thousand dollars like Fanthom Cloaker. Will see the video like… Right Now!!!!!
Justin.. Two Thumbs up on the vid. 5 out 5 stars for you my friend. Great work!
Wow, that’s real generous of you Justin. I’ve been holding back on building farms cos’ I’m still not very sure on how to go about it and I don’t want to screw up my network. This video will be a great help.
Thanks!
What you are doing is completely unethical and immoral and someday you’re going to get in trouble for telling people the truth.
You got to keep these things under the radar or everyone will practicing evil magic and confuse google to the point where the system will collapse.
Are you serious?
I don’t think information can be immoral, only actions. The information in video is not secret information and can be found in other places. Its well known that people use link farms.
Its not my responsibility to look out for Google’s system. They’re a huge company, and they do a great job at shutting down spam.
Farming puts you in some pretty good company–like the Wall Street Journal. Griz suggests that Google at least deliberately looks the other way when the big players engage in farming and link selling, and they might even condone it, if it’s done by one of their biggest customers.
It’s just bad when the little people step out of line and do it too.
LOL…..
I’m 10 minutes into it and I’ve already learned a bunch of things that Court and Mark didn’t cover in their more beginner-oriented webinar on backlinking in February. You’re doing some great work over here, Justin–yesterday I caught myself saying “Griz, Court, Vic and Justin” in a forum, and I’ll probably say it again.
Hey Justin,
Thanks for the video. I really appreciate the information and have been trying to experiment a little with link farms on my own. I think I am learning some things but it seems like it takes such a long time for experiments to work themselves out. How long does it take for one to start seeing results with a link farm?
Are we talking days, weeks, months? I know the answer will be some variation of the ‘it depends on …’ answer, but some guiding light could be helpful and I’d appreciate any insight you are willing to offer on the topic.
Thanks,
Steward
I wish I could give a straight forward answer, but “it depends”. Basically a site needs authority before it can pass authority. It can take a week to get the farm indexed (or more). It can take weeks before links are counted.
I’ve seen links flood into a page and no results. Then all of a sudden 2 months later, my rankings just shot up.
I’ve had niche sites where I cannot get them on to page 1 for months, then one day, for no obvious reason, it ranks in top 3.
Google has very funny ways of dealing with link data. I have theories on some of them, but there is no way to no for sure. One thing I know though, is that patience is needed in SEO.
On this blog, I was going crazy because every time I got a link, my rankings went down. And I’m talking PR 4 links from 3+ year old domains. I tweaked some on-site code and I went up. I have theories on it, but can’t prove them.
I don’t recommend depending on farms for links, but using them as a supplement. That way, the time needed isn’t as important. I just move on and know it’ll get counted eventually.
Thanks for giving us the benefit of your experience, Justin. IM in general has so many fine details, so many ins and outs that we who are just beginning need proper guidance like yours.
I do have a suggestion for future videos: turn up the volume. A lot. It’s pretty easy for any listener to turn it down on playback, but making the playback louder tends to magnify the shortcomings in sound cards, speakers, and headphones.
OK, two suggestions: you ought to practice being what my German teacher referred to as “langsam und deutlich” – slow and distinct – when speaking. Your langsam isn’t too bad, but your deutlich needs some work… ;-)
Will do. I recorded this really late at night (really late) and just put it together. If I ever push “serious” lessons, than I’ll be a lot more refined.
I am happy to be on a list that provides quality information like this.
Keep up the good work, Justin…and thank you!
Interested but maybe I have to pass this one. i don’t like video for two reasons:
1. My english is poor, I can understand written english properly but not spoken english. I probably should visit my doctor for hearing aid.
2. My connection sucks. I will spend the entire day to download 1 hour video.
:)
Any chance to release it on ebook version, Justin?
Justin, great video. My mind is kinda numb with all the hiding thing that is needed. I have a question actually a request. Can yu write/make a video like this for totally white hat? I mean if someone has only 3-4 blogs/sites all legit, in different niches, how to go about that?? how to do the seo and get traffic and links etc. Thanks man.
sorry folks i read a few comments on volume. I used headphones and then it was great. Also downloaded the pdf and used the slides from there because you can zoom in and see the text better.
Could not hear it. From the pdf’s it looks gray hat-ish. I don’t think G would have a problem with it unless you interlinked them too much or did not link outside the network.
Going to remake it as an ebook this weekend + more info. I’ll update everyone once it is done.

Justin,
Enjoyed your ebook and the video. Liked the book better.
I built a farm but it’s all mixed up because I did it b4 the book. It’s linking here, there & everywhere and to other people’s sites.
Some of them support my $$ sites.
What should I do with this disaster? There are about 18 – 20 sites involved.
Thanks for the e-book. I Just read it, it was very straightforward and helpful. Not too dangerous methods either, if one uses common sense.
Fuck yeah! I’ve been waiting for this. It’s been a couple months since I stopped by..glad I did.
I’ve been trying to figure blog farms out – but have been too busy to learn. I can’t wait to check this out!
