Link quality is not directly correlated to whether or not the site containing the OBLs is a link farm; in fact, links on link farms may be of very high quality.

Rather, it is the intent of the site, the reason for its existence, that distinguishes link farms.

As above noted, "Link farms are distinguishable from directories in that the intent of the former is to provide a massive quantity of Inbound Links (IBLs) so as to manipulate the SEs organic/natural listings rankings."
