A link farm is like a farm house of links where any link can stay without any relevant category requirement but have to follow rules and guidelines of that link farm, in other words we can say as a link farm is simple collection of links with no set of categories under which the links are placed. Anyone and everyone can submit their links and there is little or no editorial review of these links. In fundamental nature, these links have been built for the one and only purpose of manipulating the search engines and not designed for the end user. One can identify a link farm from its link pages, where there are hundreds of links on one page and all of them linking to out sites of various topics. There is basically no meaningful purpose or meaning behind the links on the page.
