What is link farming?

[martinmilcev]

On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. In graph theoretic terms, a link farm is a clique. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services.

Basically it's a website that has loads of hyperlinks that most of the times are not correlated between them and it's used to generate traffic and visits to that sites displayed on the website!

Link farming is script generated page containing links to similar sites to improve their rank with Google. A part of how Google PageRank works is how many pages link to a site. If hundreds of different pages link to your page, Google may move your site higher in its search results.

BTW:You shouldn't do this because its against all search engine's policies and your domain might get removed.

I wasn't aware of this term until now. Thanks for asking the question and sharing the definition. I might benefit from it in the coming weeks or months especially I am trying to get into the freelancing scene, I might bump into this term sooner of later.
