    Google warns about SEO, do you have a reference ?
    Google does not want ANY SORT OF SEO, so why should they warn about one specific method ?
    How should they tell real and fake entries apart?
    Sounds strange.

    btw:
    Social media is #1 for most SEO approaches

    Please provide a link to the source saying this. Google warns about just about everything because they want all link building to be "natural".

    Where did you get that from? Think about this: say, I am your competitor and I want you outa the business. So all I do is go about the social media sites submitting each and every page of your web-site and alas, you're dropped from Google results :D LOL
    Nope, it doesn't work like that...

    Social media links aren't as valuable as links from an authority site in the same niche but it's still worthwhile if dong in a considered way. Submitting every one of your pages to something like digg is one way not to do it. Carefully choosing interesting content that might be of interest to that particular social network is a good way to do it.

    Anything you done ONLY FOR PR is BAD from Google point of view. Build anything useful for your site visitors or community is BEST.

    At first I thought the thread title was just too broad, but now that I've read that article it seems to on par with exactly what it was referencing about. Way too broad. Of course people have to worry about abusing SEO and be conscious of industry best practices.

    Social media linking is just the current way to do link building. Google doesn't like this and will discount the links. So, find a different way to do linking. Having used most of the link building concepts so far, I only focus on concepts that create a link that will be inplace for 1 year or more. Do the social media link meet this time factor?

    We loat 25% of our link in the last update and all were from the social media concepts if this helps.

    Google is against any form of SEO done by the webmaster to help boost their rankings. Google is in the business of giving good serp results to its users. Webmasters performing seo is simply getting in the way of that. Eventually the google algorithm is going to be so complex that doing any form of seo will be pointless. Its effects will be minimal for the effort you put into it.

    This will FORCE webmasters to ONLY focus on delivering good content to users instead of wasting time on seo.

    Oh yea and google needs to do a couple other things. Mainly dropping the millions of pages that have search results as the page's main content. Also dropping all the parked domains that have blank pages on them or have the domain registrar's landing page on it. So annoying seeing those types of sites beating my site that I put hard work into. Also google should penalize pages if they are not up. If the server goes down and the google bot goes to the site and gets a 404 it should drop the page for 24 hours.
