SEO - List of links - Farmlinking?

Question

I'd like to know if listing a set of partner sites/blogs is useful for the pagerank growth. Does Google see it as an incorrect act? I read somewhere that if people exchange links, google seeks it and marks as a bad technique.

If it doesn't matter, is the content of the linked site relevant?

Answer 1

That's called Link farming and it is a really bad SEO tecnique.

If you link to another page for SEO purposes, keep links relevant and in a way that are interesting to the readers.
