A "link farm" is where all the participants in the scheme link to every other participating website, so the links "grow" at an exponential rate.

Wouldn't you know what a link farm is as a SEO "guru"?

Google often "likes" places with lots of links, otherwise why would everyone assume that DMOZ is wonderful?
That's a place with LOTS of links.

What constitutes a link "farm" is very specific.

But when it is too much, then they will definitely penalize that place.

No they won't.

Google apply "penalties" to pages or sites that are attempting to subvert their ranking algorithm, if they penalised pages or site for having "a lot of links", directories owners would not be able to waffle on about their SGB PR, because they would not have any.

Wikipedia has lots of links, to their own pages and to other pages.
DMOZ has lots of links.
The Yahoo! directory has "lots of links"
Just about every page on this forum has "lots of links".
Twitter has "lots of links".
Digg has "lots of links".

Look around at the high profile examples

So much of the prevailing "wisdom" is contradicted by just about everything on the Internet, all it takes if for you to open your eyes and your mind to the idea that the so-called "experts" may just have got it wrong

"Link farm consists of sites that link to other sites for the sole purpose of increasing their link popularity score. Unlike perfectly valid links to sites with related information, sites that participate in link farming contain links to totally unrelated sites. This practice is also referred to as Link Stuffing."

In simple words a link farm is a Web page that is nothing more than a page of links to other sites.
