As I read through this long post I see many of the members here on webmaster world ask the question: "will this get me banned" or "does this get me banned"? Ect ....

Personally I really see nothing wrong with trying to fully understand the best "I" can how google works and why it finds one site more relevent than another. Using this information in a positive way, by not trying to "trick" the search engine but rather work with it. Give the people what they want, if they are asking about basil, tell them all about basil. Then do it in a way that google will "like".

Add some good inbound links to increase pagerank, and try to minimize links going out. Does that mean "hording links".... I don't think so in my book. It simply means trying to save that pagerank to supply YOUR pages to help people find your site and the information THEY are looking for.

Seams like a nice simple plan for a successful site.
