Paid Links:

There should not be any paid links on your website as it involves unnecessary business between the various sites. Links that offer prizes to the readers who consult your web pages are also disliked by Google.

Un-Natural Backlinks:

The backlinks should make some sense into the linkage of the websites or posts. The linkage should be natural or correlated instead of just for the purpose of advertisement. For example, a post about the hair transplant may include the backlinks of hair treatment clinics. However, using links to the games may be a wrong idea and strictly prohibited by Google.

Automatically Generated Links:

There shouldn’t be any code running in the background of the website that generates links to the other pages automatically. These links act as pop-ups and are considered quite threatening by Google.

Advertorials:

There shouldn’t be any advertisements on your site that transfer the virus or other malware to the users. All the links should be checked before pasting them on your website. Also you may include the ads of your website on others’ pages. You should disable the option of following your links to avoid being considered by Google as a manipulating act.

Optimized Anchor Text:

It is hard to find the optimized anchor text in most of the articles. However, you can enhance the keywords density by including the links to other pages whose names are keywords for your article. This process is strictly prohibited as it creates so many links and only a little text. This process is considered spamming by the Google SEO.

Footer Links:  

Blogs writers also have a habit to include the footer links on the web pages that resemble the keywords of an article. The inclusion of such backlinks should not be appreciated.

Spammy Comments:

It is habit of some people to get involved into a hot discussion on a forum. They may share links to their own pages to divert the attention of the other comment writers from the actual topic. Sometimes, it is seen that comments contain spam links that harm the PC of the person who opens these links. All such backlinks should be avoided.
