Google Now Targeting Italian & Spanish Link Spammers

Less than a month after Google targeted Polish link spammers and German link spammers, Google’s head of search spam, Matt Cutts announced that the company is targeting more countries.

Cutts announced warnings to Spanish and Italian webmasters and SEOs not to use unnatural links to promote their sites.

He posted both announcements on Twitter and the localized Google Webmaster Blogs. Here is the Spanish warning on Twitter and it links to the Spanish webmaster blog at Google.
