Spamming itself done when someone is doing keyword stuffing or even doing doing link farming which is considered as link spamming and there are still many people who are somewhere applying black hat technique and mainly the link spamming by link farming. When it is done for the very first time then it gives very quick results until and unless it gets caught by Google webmaster. But this practice is not worth as when Google penalizes the site then it will not shown by Google.

just avoid it as it not only can but will certainly bring you major headaches at some point... also make sure you won't be penalised for black hat or grey hat tactics when using some 3rd party software or service - how to do that? well just monitor what these are doing with your website, where they are submitting, what content etc.
