Here`s a good article about link farm:
Link farm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_farm)

On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a search engine (sometimes called spamdexing or spamexing). Other link exchange systems are designed to allow individual websites to selectively exchange links with other relevant websites and are not considered a form of spamdexing.

avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links
