Thanks Susan. Spammy links are links like bogus/irrelevant blog or forum comments made just to get links. Manipulative links (which spammy links are often intended to be manipulative as well.) are when a website owner creates links on other people's sites which link back to their own site and where the intention is to manipulate the search rankings. Some examples of manipulative links are followed guest blog post links, article syndication links, and paid links.

You can read Google's guidelines on links here. They refer to spammy links and manipulative links all as link schemes. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6635…

I didn't realize that people could "spam-link" to you or you to them. Will have to re-read the guidelines.

Thanks. Hopefully, it will enable some people to deal with their penalty when they may not have been able to before. Unfortunately, it won't keep them from having to do a ton of tedious work in the process 🙁
