SEO Link Vine looks like a blog link network similar to Build My Rank.

They advertise "How to get hundreds of thousands of high quality one-way links, taking your Google ranking from wherever it currently is, straight to page 1 over time."

And talk a lot about automation... free content.. etc. Install a piece of code and you're done.

Doesn't seem like something Google would recommend.

Agreed with everyone above. I started there as well and got fed up with the "overnight results, push-button easy!".

There are some smart people with good stuff on there, but too much to wade through to find it.

Your time is much better spent on SEOmoz, in my opinion

I'm not the expert on this topic, so I'd love to hear some others jump in on this.

This is a very hot topic right. Wil Reynolds was talking about a new potential technique of putting up spam crap sites and building tons of anchor text links to them and letting them live for a few weeks until they get burned. Then put up a new one and repeat the process.

Ethan Lyon mentions in the comments something similar to what you're talking about

A strategy that is really big right now is 301 redirecting burned sites to new sites. So if you build 10,000 links to site A, then it gets burned, 301 redirect site A to site B. Build 10,000 links to site B, so now it has 20,000 links. When site B gets burned, 301 redirect site A and B to site C, so now you start with 20,000 links. Then build 10,000 links to site C so you have 30,000 links. Rinse and repeat and you have a strategy to rank consistently in the top spots in some of the most competitive spaces. Insane that it works, but it painfully does.

So I know that doesn't really answer your question, but sheds a little more information and validates the fact that  a lot of people are doing this, or thinking about it right now.

So for people that have done this, do 301 redirects carry the original anchor text and thus can result in burning the new site as well?

You're right that having your primary keyword in the Title tag is import.

However, even Google admits that they no longer take meta keywords into consideration for ranking factors.

There has been shown to have some benefit in putting your primary keyword(s) closer to the beginning of Titles and descriptions - but you still need to make it natural and not stuffed or forced. One reason why you don't want it too far down the sentence is that the descriptions can get truncated and your primary KW can get cut off.

Try to get it in there using the best written sentence for your users.
