Link farming is considered a "black hat" method of search engine optimization (SEO) because the content on the web sites linking to each other is often not related, not created by a human (it can be created using programs or services) and is often of a very low quality.

In the past, when search engines are not as sophisticated as they are now, the popularity of a website is measured through incoming links. The concept behind this is that if a great number of sites link to your site, then your site should be on top of the results.
