A great list of `Dos` and `Don`ts` in your article. Google seems to be going too far now in weeding out what it considers to be cheats to their system.

One of the most important things is to buy links for the traffic, not necessarily the Pagerank.

Brian – You’ve outdone yourself.

One more important process to follow though…

Select all text in this list
Copy to word processor
Increase Font Size two giant
Print two copies
staple one over your bed, and one in your office

What a succinct summary, thank you!

@ Justin

Great question. Here’s my 2 cents.

Everything really has to be done in moderation. If ALL your links come from old, authoritative pages then that might look “fake” to google bot. Don’t overdo it IMO, a couple surely don’t hurt however if done right.

It is also worth noting an old authoritative domain can get away with a lot more then a brand new domain. If you are trusted you can get away with some pretty shady tactics.

Newly emerging sites have to be really careful.
