What exactly is a "link farm"?

[Jack22]

Today, a link farm is a web page and is set up for the sole reason that is to allow webmasters to exchange links with each other for search engine ranking.

something like link exchange. According to one source, "a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a search engine (sometimes called spamdexing or spamexing)." However, some link exchanges are not considered spamming... Hope that helps you.

Well from what I have read, link farm is a website that caters to links to other websites. It contains only links to other websites.
The only difference link farm has with directories is that link farms have no grouping or categories at all.

I think Link Farm is an old concept. It was familiar a few months ago until Panda update hit the web. Now no one does Link farming. But still I find sites hosted on a single server and linking back to each other. I don't know what will happen to them.

A link farm is a website set up with the sole purpose of increasing the link popularity of other sites by increasing the number of incoming links to those sites. They are typically made up of long lists of unrelated links. Some link farms are created as networks of sites that contain numerous links to one another.
