    Lots of speculation in that article. Once all these small time link spam methods are removed, it will leave only big money link spam methods.

    Google really has devolved into a sick joke.

    These are all step that should be avoided but better to list what should be followed. Almost nothing left to list there or to follow.

      There's lots of good ways to build backlinks. And building backlinks is more important than ever because lots of people are scared to build backlinks. You just have to smart and creative.

      Go back to the basics, but be 'smarter'.

      Article marketing
      guest blogging
      web2.0
      blogroll
      squidoo

      Use forum profile links and scrapebox to build backlinks to ezinearticles page your squidoo page. DO not do this to your money site. Be sure to mix up the anchor text. Do not use the same anchor text.

        This is what google wants. Everyone to go back to basics and getting those "votes" just like they did when they first started the term SEO.

          LOL. This is what Google "wants"? They want the web to revert to the placid days before their search engine and ad program polluted the web? They want people to forget all they've learned in the last decade and 'write amazing content' and wait for the kind-hearted white hat SEOs to "naturally link?"

          Do you really believe this crap?

      Well here, I'll give you a few things you can do:

      1. Selective Guest Posts (on related sites that are good)

      2. Create content that people will freely link to (link bait)

      3. Infrographics (link bait)

      4. Create/upload real videos to youtube (no slideshow crap)

      5. Genuine Blog comments on related sites and participation in forums.

      6. Quality Press Release (avoid free PR sites, and don't keyword-stuff your releases)

      7. Quality General Directories (DMOZ, Yahoo, BOTW, HotVSNOT, and a few others)

      8. Quality Niche Related Directories

      9. Resource Lists - often "Best of" or "Editor's Picks" type pages and maintained by librarians, teachers at .edu's, bloggers, enthusiasts, etc.

      10. Join a related association or organization. A few minutes ago I just renewed my $250 yearly dues for an association. I get dinner tickets, mailings and other goodies along with it in addition to a nice PR7 link from their homepage & page for myself internally which is now PR5. All the benefits of a paid link, without the liability.

      11. Establish profiles for your website - Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Youtube. Others that are good to get: Friendfeed, Crunchbase.

      12. Social & Blog Directories like Technorati & AllTop are good.

      13. Link to others. You can do this within your posts. As your site gains popularity you can also start giving out awards.

    So, basically, don't spam your links everywhere. That pretty much sums up the article.

    Nothing wrong with articles. But there's something wrong with poorly spun articles blasted to tons of sites. Nothing wrong with guest posts. But don't go overboard with links in the article. Nothing wrong with leaving blog comments. Just don't blast away blindly @ auto approve blogs.

    ...etc

    That article brings nothing new. Google (and SEOMoz team) has been hitting these buttons for at least 1-2 years.

    And they are right in one aspect: there are always other options - always. And anyone saying the opposite is ignorant or dumb.

    Problem is: next update could (most probably) be hitting those doing it "the right way" - just as usual... and that is the real problem. Nothing satisfies Google, and SEO is in big trouble - unless you have really deep pockets. And now you ask, "who has plenty of cash to deploy these *safe* tactics?"

    BIG BRANDS. The small guy is f$#$# up.

    Chew on that and you'll realize the whole scheme of things.

      Do like me. Use the quick cash made from websites with short term manipulative tactics to subsidize the appearance of completely whitehat websites

      Nobody never said you can't do both Whitehat and Blackhat

        This is an excellent point. Small time businesses don't have the capital to go big so its probably best to make as much money as quickly as possible before they hammer your site.

        What short term manipulative tactics are working at the moment?

    This is like saying "Don't Do any off-page SEO". Funny but real. You better be natural in all your ways.
