TB, your two points above show why it is bad to algo chase. Algo chasing is something I have NEVER done, I hoenstly can't remember the last time I looked at the Google webmaster guidelines because I KNOW I will not breach them.
White hat is NOt about working within the google guidelines, white hat is about best practices.
'get links from other on topic sites' is what has always been said. OF COURSE the guidelines change regularly, because the manipulators change tactics regularly.
Many people are using 3 way link schemes at the moment, well guess what, sometime in the future, Google will identify these sites as bad neighbourhoods, and WALLOP, we will once again see a shed load of 'my site has disappeared' type posts.
Make your site the best it can be, get one way links, write articles and do it PROPERLY write some for shotgunning across as many sites as possibel, write some for distribution across a handfull, write some for exclusivity on sites where you have contacted the owner, and write some for your own site.
Promote your site well, and the benefits are long term. Chase algo's once, and you WILL be chasing them all your online life.
