Buzzwords that tell you bad SEO awaits!

So I sometimes feel like I fight a never ending battle educating people about those tactics that are sure to get them in trouble with Google, and yet people sell products that promise ranking but instead deliver terror a few months down the road as the sites gets penalized. Here are some words I look out for in a "scary" seo offering:

1. Guaranteed Ranking
2. Article Spinning
3. Profile Links
4. Blog Comments
5. Automated Link Building
6. Content Drip
7. 100 links for $10 (or similar)

What else would complete this list?

Advertising by spam.

Massive links from same IPs websites like 1k of directory submissions....

I would agree with everything except 'guaranteed rankings.'

When I give people a guarantee, I stick by it... a guarantee in itself is not a sign of a bad SEO company, but one needs to do their due diligence when it comes to deciding whether a particular SEO company's 'guarantee' is worth the pixels it's written on.
