If you're an "SEO guy" you should know that any SEO techniques that clearly violate Google's Webmaster Guidelines are not "white hat SEO".
For example, specifically take a look at the line that says, "Links with optimized anchor text in articles or press releases distributed on other sites" in the Google Webmaster Guidelines.
How do you explain the hundreds of press releases, with optimized anchor text, linking to good cheap and fast dot com?
