Great post alex-19841.
alex-19841, What are you thoughts on article backlinks that are highly spun but 100% human readable?
Also, what are your thoughts on backlinking backlinks? Whether it is blasting or just a few. Will it be too unnatural in the future?
I used to blast spun articles on to about 600 article sites 3 times per week for about a year or so in 2010, there were improvements in SERPs but not by much in relationship to the period of blasting time again it was about a year of blasting or so. EX; it took me about little over 1 year to get to number 1 for the keyword that has 8,100 global monthly searches according to Google. Then my site got penalized for 2 months (all of my primary keywords jumped to positions 100+) then after 2 months it was back to its good positions. At that time Google also released Panda and since then I have not been blasting assuming that since Google tremendously dropped rankings for the websites that host articles ex; EzineArticles etc those domains have low trust in Google's eyes so therefore having backlink from those websites will not benefit my site greatly. I found that it is much easier to get high SERPs with backlinks coming from domains that are no Lower than PR3 and Alexa rank maximum of 200,000.
Here is the video from Google:

I also wrote an article about my experience of blasting that I posted here;

I recommend to build few backlinks and rotate keywords as you building backlinks to make it look as natural as possible instead of blasting. Example of link building;
20% links in text around your keyword but not on your keyword (for example, "When I need business cards, I contact <a mysite.com>this company</a>.")
30% links that include your keyword but also include other words in a sentence (for example,"<a mysite.com>I ran out of my brand new business cards today."</a>)
30% links that include only your keyword (for example, "I love my <a mysite.com>business cards</a>.")
20% image links
I made a post here;
