Getting More Neighbors in Farmville

When you first start playing Farmville one of the things you may realize is you need A LOT of neighbors. In fact, you may not have enough friends on Facebook to do some of the low level expansions! While posting in your status feed and asking for more neighbors, or for friends to suggest other players, may seem tempting it is by far the lest effective way to actually get more people on your neighbor bar.

One of the easiest ways to get more neighbors is actually to goto the Zynga forums and just ask! Silly I know. But the fact is after I posted requesting more neighbors I woke up the next morning with over 400 friend requests in Facebook. Talk about instant results!

Zynga updates the thread occasionally by clearing it and letting people start a new one. This is good for both users and Zynga as it helps keep the thread fresh. For the best results you may want to wait for them to create a new one, just check the date of the current one before posting. 

In case you are new to internet forums or just wondering what to do here is a quick over view.


  • First goto the Zynga forums and setup an account. You can use the blue Facebook Connect button in the upper right hand corner to save yourself some time. Just be sure to use a name that is NOT like your Facebook login name. (This is for security reasons of course. The Zynga forums are a public location, anyone has access to them even without an account)
  • Second navigate to the Farmville Forum section and scroll all the way down the page. Near the bottom you will see a thread titled "Add Neighbors" click on that. 
  • Third you need to make a choice, you can either post and request others to add you (the fastest and easiest way by far) or you can look through the post and add other people by clicking on their Facebook profile link and then adding them as a friend on Facebook.
If you decide to post your own link you will need your Facebook profile link, to get this sign in to Facebook, in the upper right hand corner there is a link that says "Profile" click on that. Now in your address bar at the top of the screen is your Profile link. Simply highlight everything in the address bar, right click and copy it. Now go make a new post in the "Add Neighbor" thread and paste your profile link in. You may want to add any information like "Horse Breeder" or "Dedicated Gifter" this way people will want to add YOU more than anyone else in the thread.



You can find the Zynga Forums here ; Zynga Forums

And you can find the Add Neighbor thread here ; Find Farmville Neighbors


There are automated programs that will go out and add Facebook Friends for y ou, however Facebook looks down on these and you may find your account banned for using one. I recommend the above method as it is both extremely effective and most importantly allowed by both Zynga and Facebook.
