Link Farm

A link farm is a website (or a group of websites) that is designed to increase the link popularity of another site by only increasing the number of incoming links. A link farm usually looks like a regular web page, but most of the content is hyperlinked.

They are often established by creating a network - one that is often created with the sole purpose of gathering many locations, from which point to pointing to a website. Because Google dislikes links between unrelated sites, some link farms divide their links into categories or directories.
