If most of sites you getting are hosted on single ip. and same patterns each site. So you can consider them as farm links.

Think of a link farm as a group of websites linking to each other without any real value for users. It's an outdated SEO method that search engines are good at identifying.

As a beginner, avoid any service promising thousands of backlinks from private networks or random websites. Those are often link farms and rarely provide lasting SEO benefits.

Search engines treat link farms as link schemes because they manipulate rankings unnaturally. Building relevant, editorial backlinks is the smarter approach.

Link farming is sharing links with other websites. If some random webpage contains your website link and you share the webpage on your website or official social media handles for indexing or promotion, it counts as link farming. This is the reason many of us avoid Google docs for receiving backlink reports. It is a clear footprint of link farming.

A link farm is just a bunch of websites linking to each other only to manipulate Google rankings. It worked years ago, but these days it's easy for Google to spot. If you're new to SEO, don't waste time with link farms. Focus on getting relevant, quality backlinks instead. It's safer and works much better in the long run
