Link Scheme
Manipulative link practices that violate Google's spam policies.
Link schemes include buying or selling links, excessive reciprocal linking, automated programs creating links, links from low-quality directories, link networks and paid placements without sponsored attribute. Google actively detects link schemes through pattern analysis and ignores or devalues affected links rather than always penalising target sites.
