I like how people still believe buying a backlink on a PR4+ site that says something like 'free porn' is the most significant thing they can do in SEO.

And keep something in mind, Google knows when you're linking through-out your own sites to pass on authority.

Some suggestions, separate accounts and billing accounts for every domain registered and different hosting accounts.

Anyways, people new to the game just don't understand the whole point of backlinks in-terms of how Google views them. In the good old days sites with high authority would only link to quality / relevant content, thus making it a key factor in search engine algorithms.

Well, that was common knowledge like a decade ago, Google's backlinking factors and how they pass down authority is at least 100,000 times more complex than what it used to be.

I do agree with the poster's comment above though - Content will always be king. If you have high quality relevant content that appeals to people who'd be willing to link to it 'organically', then stuffing 20 footer links across all your wordpress blogs and buying links on link farms won't have to be your saving grace.

The trick is, there are no tricks. Only optimization on pages that are truly relevant and of high quality. Go on the blackhat forums, I bet less than 1% earn more than $100k a year for all their efforts in trying to 'out smart' Google.
