    Here's how to to avoid being Googlw slapped. Try these methods and see if they work for you:

    1. Add more appending text to your opt-in or MFA site by including a relevant article. Resubmit it. (MFA sites are not recommended though)!.

    2. If you dont want to add content or links in your opt in page that may distract visitors, use an image button. Make this image button link to relevant content rich site.

    3. Use blended, invisible text links to content rich sites. This means making the text the same color as the background. Some may consider this Black Hat.

    4. The most important thing is to ensure your account history is
    good with keyword-to-click CTR.

    5. Create content-rich pages, that ALSO convinces readers to buy given
    the useful free information. It takes effort, but the above methods can only work for so long.

    I think everyone, including Google, considers that Black Hat

    Yes it did work for me. Method number 1 improved my QS after i resubmitted it. But really, method number 5 is almost unbeatable because it's a win win situation or us and Google but most people are just too lazy :p

    You are correct and I would highly advise AGAINST this technique. It's old school and unethical...

    That is correct. That's why I cautioned that it's considered black hat.

    Again, I repeat, Point 3 is Black Hat, use it at your own discretion!.
