I'd be a bit wary of using this. It's a canny trick, but I can see it being something that could easily come back and bite you.

I might try experimenting with this - it actually doesn't seem that bad (unless you do some of the Amazon cookie stuffing they mentioned). I would just be using this to hopefully get a couple visits from previous readers.

How could it come back and bite you?

As stated above, please explain how it could harm you.

If you have a legit website, you should have nothing to worry about.

Now when you start phishing social network and bank account URL and stealing shit, thats crossing the line into the darkside so fuck you.
