The line dividing promoting/SEO and SPAM/Plagiarism is getting thinner everyday....

Well when can anyone say he has done enough promoting/marketing/SEO?
even if the site starts ranking then too one has to keep on promoting.
Nowadays ,there is a very thin line between promoting and spamming/plagiarizing which us warriors must keep in mind.
If we blast 50 copies of same article ;then it may.....fall under the category of plagiarism for many websites..as they will find the exact stuff somewhere else...

OVER ZEALOUS MARKETING/SEO EFFORTS may= SPAM for some in current situation.

About link building well what if the person is in a super special niche and there is not much related blogs about that niche ...well he still has to go on ..right?
What if 5 articles have not done the job to rank the site...wouldn't we push more articles ...that may nowadays create a problem ....
The key point here is that the frequency and timing of efforts is very very important nowadays ,and the blind SHOCK and AWE campaigns may not work ....
which implies MORE TIME,MORE PLANNING but SLOW RESULTS
SLOW STEADY PLANNED and KEEP your tracks covered ....is the new MANTRA ...
Can We have few suggestions from fellow experts as to how did they decided their promotion speed/SEO attack times :any tips......

    Aggressive marketing is not SPAM. Period. It's just aggressive marketing.

    When I launch a new site, OF COURSE I'm going to throw everything but the kitchen sink at it:

    1. Video/submissions/comments/replies
    2. Articles
    3. Directory submissions
    4. Twitter/FB/PING.fm
    5. SBM's
    6. RSS/Pinging
    7. Forum/blog posts (legit related blogs...no spam) /profile links
    8. Press Releases
    9. Document sharing sites

    Is this SPAM? Absolutely not. I'm letting the world know my property is out there. Framing it any other way is utter nonsense. Simply because these are largely FREE advertising avenues doesn't make them "SPAM"

    The RATE at which one builds backlinks CAN have an affect contingent upon the domain age.

    REAL WORLD STUFF: I started an ecommerce site in January selling a "TV Screen Protector". The site sat on page 5 for 60-90 days possibly due to rapid link deployment via BMing but ...only to reemerge on page 1 two months later. Now #5 and making money.

    Execute correctly and fiercely and you'll be successful.

    Avoid "Analysis Paralysis". Go do it.

    NOTE: My competition had 3200+ back links in June . In August, hey had over 21,200!!! They are now # 1. Were they penalized? Nope. Rewarded in fact. However their domain has been around for 3-4 years.

      I think you describe the difference between "SPAM" ing and "Aggressive Marketing", what you have laid out is a list of different channels to work within in a coordinated way, a great checklist for site promotion, this is very different from using automated software etc to submit bulk copies of identical information within a single channel, I would suggest that the point at which aggression moves to spamming is when the process starts to involve many many duplicates of exactly the same information, which might well get detected and at that point deserves to be downgraded.

    It has nothing at all to do with plagiarism. I think you're rather confused about the difference between "duplicate content" and "syndicated content". If you're thinking about article directories, I know of only one (Buzzle) which requires unique, previously unpublished content.

      Apples and oranges - and throw in a few bananas?

      You need to look up the definitions for the terms you are throwing around - spam, plagiarism, SEO, etc.

      What if 5 articles have not done the job to rank the site...wouldn't we push more articles ...that may nowadays create a problem ....
      Why would it be a problem - 5 articles is seldom enough to accomplish much.

      SLOW STEADY PLANNED and KEEP your tracks covered ....is the new MANTRA ...
      Planned and steady is good - but you don't have to be too slow. Moving at the speed of human capability is good advice. If you aren't doing anything wrong, covering tracks isn't necessary.

      However their domain has been around for 3-4 years.
      That is an important factor!

      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.
