I'm doing work for an SEO company and they want me to do link submission for some of their clients. I want to avoid submitting them to link farms since generally those are penalized by search engines, but how do I tell if a site is a link farm or a genuine directory? Are there certain things to look for? What's the quickest way to recognize one?

Its not spamming... we submit to relevent, specific directories. The company we submit fits into the categories they're being submitted to and help customers that actually want the services to find them. We dont' submit to every site we see... just the relevent ones.

Check out my blog for a list of free directories. Very few directories will do much for your rankings. You need links from relevant sites, not directories.

Read this paper carefully 'Identifying Link Farm Spam Pages' http://www.cse.lehigh.edu/~brian/pubs/2005/www/link-farm-spam.pdf#search=%22%22link%20farm%22%22

they are called free-for-all links pages. don't add your site to them if you want serarch engines to accept your site. that's because links on these sites are purged after 90 days.
