I am curious what the difference between scraping and linking. I have a project that links to many different sites, but does not scrape the content. I have been accused of scraping because of the number of links. Some sites have rate limits which limit the number of times you can go to a site from another site. Gutenberg does this. Internet Archive does not have rate limits. My site is not a link farm, however, this can be a pattern of unwanted backlinks in some cases. I am curious how this fits in with Googles Anti-scraping updated. On August 18-20, Google did a massive automated anti-spam update with the algorithm. There was no way to contest what your site was. There is a change being done in how Google is deciding what sites are spam or not. From what I am noticing many sites that with low traffic that are academic or personal were affected by this update.
