Found this post very interesting. I have also written a related post on how to build a natural link profile. You might want to have a look.

Be relevant.. So every technique you might use that is not relevant or legit with the Google terms will get its penalty in the end.

facebook, twitter, youtube etc) This way no update will be scary.

And I’ve seen a few websites go down because of unnatural backlinks and keyword stuffing. Best to stick with safe, white-hat methods.

Certainly true, might be that I’m just not getting much of the automated stuff anymore (gmail spam filter is really good).

However, when you get an email from someone asking to exchange links but they do not say anything more about themselves or their website, I think it is best to ignore those. When people are open from the start then I am more likely to listen.

However, I usually see the emails which promise to link to me, but only after I have added their link. That is certainly the wrong way to do it!

Sure, a lot of link exchange requests are spammy but not all. I’ve built some decently ranking sites by getting more or less only this kind of links. Don’t think it should be seen the same way as you see xrumer or similar tools (you sort of get what you pay for with those services).
