Anyone been tempted to do Spam SEO?

Search engine specially google is implementing different steps to avoid spamming, Google panda main reason was targeting low quality contents website, Which are spamming the web.

Quality and uniqueness is the key in order to get good ranking. Quality of on-page contents can take your website to the top of search engine not spamming.

in my opinion, realistically, if your objective is to earn a quick buck - by all means go to the dark side, make it then break it. But if your objective is something you want long term - it's white hat all the way.
