link farms

[geminisden]

Hi,
How do we know that the directory we are submitting our site to is not a link farm? How can i reach on a conclusion that the directory is not a link farm.
As directory submissions are an important for link building

You don't know if a site is part of a link farm but you don't need to care unless you link to it. You aren't considered part of a link farm until you link to it. So having a link on a farm isn't bad. The link may be worthless but it won't hurt you.

And directory submissions are important for link building. They are a good way to get one way links from related pages to your web site.
