A washing machine could fall out of the sky and squash you. a car could come through the wall of your house and run you over. a leprechaun could come at you with a knife etc etc. dont worry about bad things that haven't happened yet.
manage your risk. don't do anything black hat, write good content (content is king) and let the links come to you. since you don't want to mess anything up, just take it easy and let things fall where they may. do linkbuilding yourself with web 2.0's that you do yourself plus guest posts. its requires work, but now you are safe from algorithm changes penalties and updates.
don't do this. see above. what might work no will get you penguin/panda/platypus slapped
honestly im no expert either. i used to have a bunch of spam sites back in the day, gibbiresh made for adsense sites. im currently working on my first authority site. the stickies in the white hat seo section will help. here are my tips:
- get a good sized niche. the low search stuff they make MNS's require too much work for too little payoff
-evergreen niche. golf, skiing, sailing = seasonal. basketball, weightloss, cars = evergreen.
-care about what youre doing. (you'll work more and better)
and something ive recently learned about "site conversion startegies" how many of your visitors are converting? uniqe vistor to sale ratio. change your writing to maximize this. that way 100 visitors a day will make you the $50 you want instead of 15-20. you need to google around on techniques/ how to write you stuff.
