Bad Ways to Build Links
Here are a few link building methods that may destroy your ranking or get your site banned/penalized/filtered from major search engines, or both. You will see some of this stuff work for a very short period of time, But it wont last.
Google will always pay attention to links, thats how the web is connected. But the links that counted yesterday, wont count today. Quality and "Anchor Text" is the name of the Game.
Google webmaster account, in the Link section shows two columns (Links) (Anchor Text). Not that Google will ever show you the true data, but the addition is interesting.
Directories ( You will see this alot of some SEO providers)
Submitting your site to 200 cheesy paid or free directories (averaging $15 a pop) that send zero traffic and sell off topic run-of-site links.
Article Spinning - Having one unique article, changed by a certain percent, then "spun" to create a 100 so called unique article and submitting it to 200 useless Article Directories.
Forum Spam
List numerous Web sites in your signature file.
Exclusively post only when you can add links to your sites in the post area.
Post nothing but "me too" posts to build your post count. Use in combination with a link-rich signature file.
Are you Guilty?
