Anchors can hurt you now if you only use your main keyword. You got to mix it up a bit. like 40% anchor, 20 partial anchors , 20 random action ones like CLICK HERE, or HEAD here for more info, and 20 NAKED links (links with no anchor text, just the link). Also even mix some partials with LSI keywords It has to start looking more natural as if it really went viral on its own, (things would have variety while still being on topic.) Oh I forgot, to add, if your spinning its no longer 60% unique, it has to be 80% or more. But I would strive Higher then that because google could only get more strict as time goes on. one day it may have to be 85%, so you want to always be on the good side of them for future proof.
Google is continusly working to improve their system. Future of SEO seems dark ! Read This : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2433895
Where do all these figures come from, are they your own opinion only or is there something to support them please?
What do you mean dark? Google is rewarding the good guys while punishing the bad guys, like it should.
Having good content on your Web site. Simple whatever methods you try, you're not going to get backlinks without having quality content. If you believe you have the good content, and it's a blog you're trying to promote, you may want to try linking to other blogs and Web sites. Hand out a favour to them, and they will hand one back.
Uniqueness isn't all that matters. You need both unique AND high quality content. Or else it's useless.
Quality content, natural backlinks from same niche websites. don't forget to add some no-follow backlinks to make the process natural for google..
I agree with that. Even for less obscure sites it can be really difficult to get such links, because if you are in competition your competitors aren't going to give you any.
Be sure not to overstuff keywords on your pages.. As far as incoming links they can and will never punish you. If they did, that would leave room for anyone to destroy their competitors rankings.
