Link farming

Also known as link spamming, link bombing, and a Google bomb, a link farm is a collection of web pages often generated by scripts or bots that contain numerous links to other similar sites as well as sites trying to improve their ranking in search engines such as Google. A part of how Google PageRank works is how many other pages link to that site; if more pages are linking to your page, Google will move your site higher in its results. Although this tactic may improve your ranking, it's against all search engines' policies and can cause your site and/or domain to be removed completely from the search engine's index.
