Can google penalize you for this?

I'm just curious , i've been mass spinning articles and posting them over like 500 article directories on AMR that are direct linking to my money site , is this a bad idea or will I be ok since these are article backlinks ?

according to your keyword it is...if your keyword having less competition you need to work less...if you work more you will penalize

lol ummmm ok?

I think what he's saying is that you need to do an appropriate amount for the size of the field you're against.

So 500 might be nothing if it's a really saturated niche, but 500 could also be like way too many when the first search result only has 10 backlinks, Google might look at it and basically say "WTF!?"

Or that is my understanding, not very helpful i know, lol.
