These are links to a website from external sources, including other web pages, directories, and advertising. Banned.

How many people clicked on a link, as a percentage of the total number of people that saw the link. Cloaking. The act of serving content to search engine spiders that is different to what normal visitors would see. Search engines will ban you if they find you doing this. Contextual links.
