Definition: A set of web pages that have been built for the sole purpose of increasing the number of incoming links to a web site. This is done in order to increase link popularity and search engine rankings. Link farms usually require a reciprocal link from sites seeking listings.

Link farms are a known spam tactic and sites that participate in them are likely to be penalized or banned from the major search engines.
