We all know that SEO, in the end, is more of a marathon. The whole idea is to make money in a longer term - passive income that drips and drips (or flows?).
So, in this regards I have 2 questions:
1. Why use methods that exploits current weakness in search engines if you know that this will get fixed soon (could be tomorrow) and your site not only go down the drain in ranks but also may get penalty and possibly never recover?
2. Why not focus on links/strategies that will give you return in a longer run instead without fear of getting penalties?
Simple common sense is you build and ranks sites for big short term payoff with whatever method works at that time....maybe for several weeks or several months and if your site gets hit then you just scrape it and build a new one and rank that hard and fast for several months again and just rinse and repeat the process with whatever blackhat method works at the time.
In the mean time you invest some of your blackhat profits into longer term white hat sites and hope for the best cause even your white hat sites might get hit anyway so might well have earned a good payday before getting penalised.
Always have backup sites and register multiple backup domains and content ready and never get too attached to any wenbsite no matter how old it is and treat them all as expendable. Only your big authority, brand name or company website i would say DO NOt do blackhat and build slowly. So short version is do both short term blackhat and long term white hat site!!
