Get Free Farm Cash Thru Farmville's Special Offers


I, like many others, have clicked on countless articles claiming to hold the secret to free farm cash only to find disappointment in the form of outdated cheats.  In fact, I was beginning to think that the “free farm cash” thing was a myth when I accidentally discovered Zynga’s rewards program, which offers plenty off opportunities to get free farm cash.  To find these offers, follow the steps below:

1). Open the Farmville application and click on the “Get Farm Cash” tab

2). Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says “Earn Farm Cash”

3). Click on “View Special Offers”

Once you open the special offers window, you will see a long list of offers where you can get free farm cash.  The offers include farm cash for signing up for particular credit cards, signing up for services such as Netflix, magazine prescriptions, and shopping on-line at your favorite, or new, stores.  My personal favorite is the Restaurant.com offer.  You buy $50 worth of gift certificates for $20 and receive 65 farm cash for the transaction.  I am no mathematician, but with this deal you will have $30 free to spend at a restaurant plus the farm cash.  Aside from the credit card applications totaling 300-425 farm cash for acceptance, the restaurant.com deal is the best.  However, check it out for yourself.  You may already shop at some of the affiliate stores like Old Navy, Banana Republic or the Gap.  If so, you can now get farm cash just for making purchases you would have made anyway.  There are presently 63 offers, but this list is constantly growing.  Check it out and you may find a deal that works for you.

The Fastest, Easiest Way to Level Up in Farmville


Howdy Farmers, I’m here to tell you to put down those plows and hoes and instead expand your stable and dairies to the max.  If you want to level up quickly in Farmville, farming is not the answer, gaining coins and XP is.  It is true that there are a variety of methods to gain XP in Farmville.  Farmers can plant and harvest crops, visit their neighbor’s farms and join co-ops; however, all of these activities will take up a lot of your time and give you a very small amount of coins and XP in return. 
When I started Farmville, the fastest way to level up was with berries.  However, now that there are stables and dairies, you no longer need to plant a thing.  Stables and dairies can easily be turned into coin generators and as you may already know, buying large items from the market will give you a lot of XP.  The following is a step-by-step method for setting up your farm for maximum coin and XP generation. 

GETTING STARTED
1.     If you are below level 75, start out by expanding your stable and all five dairies to their maximum capacity.  Once you have done this, fill them up completely with cows and horses.
2.     Be sure to pay attention to how many coins each cow yields.  If you can only fill your dairies with regular cows at first, this is fine.  However, try to buy or obtain as many cows as possible that give more coins per harvest.  If you are at a lower level, the highest yielding cows are presently pink cows, which harvest for 84 coins each.  Keep replacing regular cows with higher yielding cows.
3.     Once you’re animal houses are full, start building a collection of seeder cows and horses.  Any type of cow or horse can be used since breeding is not your main objective.  Collect as many of them as possible and line them up outside your dairies and stable.

STABLE TRICK
Stables: Assure your stable has room for one horse to be added.  Once your seeder horses reach 34% ready, they can be moved into the stable to make it 100% ready. Once you have moved one seeder horse into your stable and made it ready, click harvest and wait to see what you get.  If you get only coins, that is fine since you just gained 2 to 4 thousand coins with one click.  If you do not have a stallion in your stable, you will have a chance of getting a 100XP star.  Since you always have a better chance of getting the XP without a stallion in your stable, it is best to leave the stallion out.  Remove the seeder horse and repeat this step over and over.  You should gain plenty of coins and XP every time you do this.  Plus, you will have plenty of XP stars; farm hands and tree help to share with your neighbors.

DAIRY TRICK
Dairies work in much the same way but are not as effective for coin generation until you reach level 75, since this is when you can buy the belted cow.  Once you can buy belted cows, you can generate coins in the millions and use them to level up multiple times within minutes.  The reason this is possible is because belted cows harvest for 3000 coins each.  Furthermore, since belted cows cost 1 million coins each, you will gain 10,000 XP every time you buy them.  If you save up millions of coins, you can buy multiple belted cows and achieve one level after another in rapid succession. 
To get started, buy as many belted cows as you can.  If you are not able to afford many in the beginning, buy one and soon enough, the income generated from that cow will help you buy another.  Place all of your belted cows in one dairy.  With dairies, the seeder cow must be at 100% before it will make the dairy 100% ready.  Once your seeder cows are ready, use the hand mover to pick up a cow and place it in the dairy with the belted cows in it.  The dairy will become ready.  Click to harvest the dairy and then remove the cow.  Do this until all of your seeder cows are used up.  Once you have generated enough coins, buy more belted cows. Keep adding belted cows until you completely fill up your dairies.  Presently, my daily animal revenue is 1 million coins, which means that I can buy a new belted cow every day.

Overall, compared to the tediousness of planting and harvesting crops, I am confident you will find tending your stable and your dairies to be the fastest and easiest way to level up.

How to Post Farmville Links on Facebook


Not long ago, people playing Farmville as well as other Zynga games were posting links on their walls right and left.  However, following Facebook’s most recent format change, whenever anyone tried to post a link, Facebook started giving an error, which informed the user that their link was too long.  This limit on the link size has, for the most part, killed the practice of posting game links.  Though most people are not aware of this, it is quite easy to shorten Farmville links in order to post them on Facebook.   
One excellent site for shortening links is, “bit.ly”  http://bit.ly/  Aside from shortening links, bit ly allows you to customize link names, track the number of clicks on a link, track the time the link was clicked, and track country the clicks came from.  In addition to these features, you can add the bit ly sidebar to your bookmark menu for fast and easy access.
Additionally, Bit ly is easy to use.  You can use bit ly with or without registering.  If you choose not to register, you will not have all of the tracking features available, but it is still quite easy.  Just go to the site, paste the link in, and click “shorten.” Copy the link and post your shortened link on your wall.  However, if you chose to register, it literally takes two seconds.  Even if you are not interested in the stats, it is worth registering since adding the bit ly sidebar to your browser menu, makes for easy link shortening access.  Plus with the side bar, you will not need to waste time logging in.  So go to bit ly, start shortening and start sharing your posts however and wherever you like.
