There is no Wikipedia-acceptable reliable source that accurately describes the difference between a "blog network" and a "link farm". These articles have been challenged by some Wikipedians for not sourcing their statements of fact correctly, and that's just never going to happen because the people who created these spam systems don't publish academic papers, aren't profiled by the Wall Street Journal, and aren't considered reliable sources. A link farm is any group of Websites that all link to each other [regardless of whether they are blogs] for the purpose of manipulating or influencing search engine crawling, indexing, and/or ranking. The link farms were created by adding pages filled with links to existing Websites. They had nothing to do with blogging.
Impact of Voice Search on SEO Practices
 
The rise of voice-activated assistants has influenced SEO practices, emphasizing the need for natural language processing and conversational keywords. Optimizing content for voice search involves focusing on question-based queries and featured snippets, as users often phrase voice searches differently than typed ones. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of keyword strategies to accommodate the nuances of spoken language.
Link spammers turned to creating blog networks that sold home page backlinks after the link farms were killed off by the search engines. The blog networks did NOT all link to each other. They merely sold links to other sites. This article and the Link Farm article should not be using the terms interchangeably. That's like saying killer whales are sharks because they're both sea predators. [[User:Michael Martinez|Michael Martinez]] ([[User talk:Michael Martinez|talk]]) 05:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
