That kind of black hat marketing is just wrong (isn't that what they call it?). I see it happening a lot on these boards, where someone will post just because they think their keyword phrases signature line will get rankings in Google but we are on to them so they don't last long LOL

I can't imagine whole pages of links like that UGH.

A link farm is a system where all the members are linked to each other via a common set of link pages. The result is that all members have a links page with the other members' web addresses on them. Many of these link programs have a number of hundred or even thousands of members, so by joining you have almost instant access to hundreds of other web sites that point links to your site. This can lead to your site looking very "popular".
