Link Spamming is the process of spamming other web-sites or web sources with the goal of acquiring backward links. It might be otherwise defined as the process of trying to "acquire links from a source which is not relevant and which doesn’t want to link out". Otherwise, it is the process of over-acquiring links from a particular source in order to increase search rankings without taking into account relevancy factors. Link Spamming results in the acquisition of links which are of low value and less authority. Five Reasons why you shouldn’t involve yourself in link spamming:
- The links acquired from link spamming are of low quality, and won’t help too much with Search Engine Rankings.
- Link Spamming can be reported by a webmaster or a website owner and you can get penalized for it.
- Google will eventually catch up with link spamming techniques and link spammers and devalue such links.
- Link Spamming creates a bad example – its almost like your setting a bad precedent.
- You are providing bait for others to spam your site by spamming theirs.
