: Is URL without HTTP a hyperlink for SEO? In my spam check I don't accept comments which contain a http:// or https://. But many spam I'm getting are specifying this in HTML: <a href="www.example.com"

But many spam I'm getting are specifying this in HTML:
<a href="www.example.com" .....
Can this link be considered as valid by Google for SEO rankings? Since some links like this are able to sneak into my sites.

If that link were in a web page it would be a relative link. If it were on somesite.com it would refer to somesite.com/www.example.com -- broken link.
In many email clients, links like this may work because the links are opened in a browser and the browser has no context to make the link relative. Its unclear whether links like that would work with web mail clients (maybe some of them add the before displaying it).
As far as SEO goes, formatting links like that on a website would cause broken links which would hurt SEO rather than help it.
