I follow my own rule, which is that the keywords under which my clients are found have to be very relevant and on the topic of their business.

I would not be offtopic or close to the topic, because it does not help my clients to be found under far fetched keywords. I know this from experience.

I use any methods to achieve good positions even if it is against the seo guidelines of google, because following rules just for the sake of it is very pointless.

However, I can understand that they exist. It's because many people abuse them to bring up sites under keywords which are not relevant just to feed their adsense or whatever source of revenue it might be.

And if you built up a site from scratch, then you should have no problem following them anyway.
