Between clearly compliant and clearly prohibited sits a wide grey band where most commercial SEO actually operates. Risky link building tactics include paid guest posts without disclosure, mass outreach offering compensation for placement, and buying links from sites that openly advertise link sales. None of these are automatically caught, which is what makes them tempting. The exposure is that enforcement is retroactive — links acquired today can be devalued years later, along with everything they were holding up.
