Get the Most out of Your Farmville Neighbors

Even if you haven't been playing FarmVille for very long, you're probably aware that having neighbors can bring you some substantial benefits. Many of these benefits are obvious, such as allowing you to expand your farm inexpensively, but some others are more easily overlooked. If you really want to be successful in FarmVille, though, you'll need to make sure that you're getting absolutely everything you can out of your neighbors. Sometimes this will require a little bit of effort, but it will be well worth the extra work in the end.

Steps

1. Crop and Plot Fertilization. Of course, it's beneficial to both you and your neighbors if they can fertilize your crops and you can fertilize theirs. You get extra experience points when harvesting fertilized crops, and your neighbors get to earn a few extra coins for each plot of yours they fertilize. However, when you're not going to be able to get back to your farm for an extended period of time, you might think there's no point in plowing your fields since you can't plant on them.
   
2. If you go this route, though, you'll miss out on the opportunity to have your entire farm fertilized when you come back. Your neighbors can't fertilize fallow land, but they can fertilize plowed plots even if they haven't been planted yet. And when you do return to plant on them, your crops will be instantly fertilized. Also, it's important to pass this information along too. If your friends have to spend some time away from their farm, you want to be able to earn your coins fertilizing their plots as well.
   
3. Gifts: Because the game no longer directs you to the free gift page every day when you log into FarmVille for the first time, it's easy to forget to send these special items to your friends. And, of course, it's easy for your friends to forget to send gifts to you. Even if you don't necessarily need any of the items that you receive as gifts, you can always sell them for some extra coins, so you'll want to remind your neighbors to keep sending them if they've been neglecting this aspect of the game. And the best way to remind them to send gifts your way is to remember to send gifts to them.
   
4. Bonuses: Every time your neighbors earn a ribbon, you'll have the opportunity to receive a bonus from them. Some of these bonuses are as small as 50 coins, and it may seem like more trouble than it's worth to peruse your news feed to find them all. But these small bonuses add up fast. You'll be missing out on a lot of you don't take advantage of as many as you can find.
   
5. It's never a bad thing to have some extra coins lying around – you can even use them to buy some extra items to earn experience points and level up more quickly. In order to be successful in FarmVille, you need to be able to take advantage of every opportunity that's presented to you, no matter how insignificant it seems at the time.
