In 2011, I posted in a thread Brett_Tabke started about how Google continued to say we should build sites like there are no search engines, which, to me means, and I quote (what I said back then): So, paid links, web rings, reciprocal links, article submissions for links, directory submissions, forum link dropping, blog link dropping, reciprocal twitter follows and everything else they tell us not to do are really good ideas?

Is that meant to be the list of things that are for humans, or things that are for search engines? It seems more like Door #3: Things you do for search engines in imitation of things you do for humans and humans do for you. Until the search engines get wise and then you have to go look for Door #4.
