So, as an seo I am wondering if the way forward is to build and burn as it appears to be pretty simple to get great rankings in Google by either blog spamming or hacking websites. The spamming I guess is simple. Just use one of the many blogging software options like xrumer. This site aussiebluecasinos.com is posting thousands and thousands of comments and it ranks fantastically this site knowledgeconnect.com.au is hacking thousands of sites and is ranking fantastically. Both have been ranking for over 5 months, so Google does not seem to be able to work these techniques out. The other beautiful thing is that the underlying companies doing this have nothing to fear as their brand sites are safe. So these sites can eventually be caught and all that will happen is new ones will replace them. Is build and burn the new SEO best practice?
There is no general best there are too many factors involved. Think for example at your own strategy, or you aiming for long or short term result? For long term results I would not suggesting to do any black hat techniques. And hacking sites so you can improve your own rankings, that is just wrong.
Yea it can be, if your only goal is for short term income. But you'll quickly find out that you'll be burnt out yourself lol. That's why i stick with my authority & syndication now. It will bring you more passive income, and it's alot more stable. I've been there, done that, and now i'm burnt lol.
