They name may be self explanatory, but a link magnet page is a page people actually WANT to link to. Meaning it has quality content, is useful and typically well designed. It brings value to other internet uses and they may want to share it. The old saying "content is king" is related to on-site SEO, but it applies here too. If you create killer content, you'll get some killer links in return.
