What is the difference between LinkBuilding and Spamming?

This is a very important and often overlooked question. While some noobie so called seo specialsts can guarantee gigantic numbers at the end of the day they are just that, numbers. Not giving your any traffic or conversion. A successful LinkBuilding Campaign even with the fastest automation software needs to include a lot of ground work. While automation can make a process quicker than manually submissions and such. Turning up the hypothetical knob will not get you better or even faster results. Realistically you may just find your ship sunk faster so to speak. If you are just spamming you are simply destroying your chances of success and turning up the knob is just letting the water in faster on your sinking ship.
