What Wikipedia says

On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of websites that all hyperlink to other sites in the group for the purpose of increasing SEO rankings. 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.
