If you have a good site people want to see, you're okay. If you're a spammer site, thats what google is really going after. I’ve heard SEO isn’t bad as long as your white hat.

What you're doing is making search engines think that your mediocre web site is better than good web sites with similar information. That strikes me as deceitful. If your site is good, other people will link to it more than they would bad web sites (in theory). If the web is the information superhighway, the sites giving the best information should be the ones discovered first in search listings. Of course, commercial web sites are a different story. But even then it comes down to how good your merchandise is, and how well your site is made. It might be hard to give search engines the idea that you sell the relevant things and take them seriously without annoying visitors, though.

If you are Google, where you are competitive because you return relevant information in your search results. Now a whole class of occupations calling themselves Seach Engine Optimisation Experts came around and try to manipulate the result by buying links and reviews, so that what ranked first is no longer the most relevant, but the one paid most links... What would you do if you are Google? Personally I think SEO works. However due to conflict of interest there is always going to be a battle between the search engine and SEO. Personally I just cannot think myself out-smart Google... Let’s see it this way. If you are Google, where you are competitive because you return relevant information in your search results.
