Is Google penalising me for my Gumtree Ad's?

[LoveTravelling]

We sell holiday courses where you can learn a new skill on holiday such as a new language, cooking, yoga, photography, surfing and so on. We have a limited budget so post adverts on Gumtree.com daily for our various courses which are great at delivering bookings but as we post so many daily and often repeat the ad's so the same link goes up again and again, I believe Google may be penalising us for having so many links as they may see these links as spam?

Can anyone let me know if this is likely?

Thanks

yes very likely - if you are a new site with tons of links and they come from a handful of sites - you more than likely are seen as spamming

Thanks for the reply... is there anything I can do to change the situation or am I stuck with it now?

If I use different links in the gumtree ad's from now on, will they still be considered SPam do you think?

Thanks

If you can vary the text and the sites that get linked from gumtree you could lower problems.... also need to start getting links from other places so there is a mix
