My cohort at Revision 3, CEO Jim Louderback,�recently wrote an article called�"Screw Viral Videos." Why? Because according to Louderback, ?viral videos deliver little or no value to anyone.? Which led me to wonder: what about content farms?

The Definition of Content Farms

While no official description exists yet, a content farm is the term given to a website or media organization that

seeks to maximize content production output
while minimizing production costs
to acquire as much organic search traffic as possible
with the main intent of converting that traffic into revenue, generally from advertising.
