    Most of these will definitely get your site penalized, but not all of them.

    Examples:

    -Excessive link velocity. This will not get your site penalized. As long as they are all quality backlinks, then you can have 100 backlinks made to your site in a day and Google wouldn't care.

    -Links from foreign language sites. We live in a day when websites can be instantly translated from one language to another, so it's very possible that legitimate links are made from a Spanish website to an English website. And if legitimate links are made this way, Google would not make this a factor that penalizes your website.

    -Advertising real estate. So if my website has ads on it, it's going to be penalized...? I sure hope not, because I love my AdSense sites!

    Overall though, this is a pretty good list.

    Dude you do realise you have spun content on that list, why not say poorly spin articles and non readable articles are the best ways to get penalized......

    That is a misinformation and many newbie will suffer dearly and continue to spam the forum asking even more question about spinning articles.
