Start with the fundamentals learn keyword research and basic on-page SEO first. Everything else becomes easier after that.

100% Agree. Fundamentals are the gift that you want to have if you just starting in SEO. Because you will get lost if you focus on too many and advanced topics when learning to optimize your website for any Search Engine out there.

a link farm is basically a group of websites created mainly to link to each other and push rankings artificially. years ago people used them a lot, but search engines got much better at spotting those patterns and they can end up hurting a site instead of helping it. if you're learning SEO, i’d spend time understanding site authority, content structure, and natural link building first rather than jumping straight into link farm setups.

personally, i wouldn’t spend time building one. even if it works for a while, it’s risky and can leave you with sites that lose value overnight. i’d focus on getting relevant, quality links instead of trying to manufacture authority through a link farm.

Are they still worth it in big 2026? Seems risky to do now since if identified, they can end up hurting rankings significantly.
You're pretty much better off focusing on the fundamentals like content, internal linking, and earning links from relevant sites rather than trying to build a link farm.

They damage , and it leads to big mess. Organic link building is the way to go like posting good content and posting links on relevant non spammy sites by contacting their owners.
