Let's begin with some words of Wisdom. Sun Tsu: It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
Competition on the web is fierce and getting more ruthless by the day. Some webmasters have resorted to using dirty tricks, known as “Google bowling,” to sabotage competing websites. Arm yourself with knowledge and protect your site from these techniques that may be used to undermine your site’s reputation.

In reference to the article:
1) Most blogging/cms framework incorporate the "nofollo" link attribute in comments. This causes the backlinks (as they are called in the SEO world) to be less valuable.
3) Google has started rumours on penalizing those links (linkfarms), yet the techniques for filtering those are almost impossible (in my eyes). Linkexchanging (as known in the past) isn't effective anymore, but ABC linking (http://www.kvaes.be/web/3-way-linking-abc-linking/) is the new technique here.
4) Though, this can be avoided by "pinging" google for updated content. Also, the "duplicate content"-penalty can be avoided by some SEO experts, by "scambling" it a bit (by merging content).
7) A technique that's used VERY OFTEN by competitors. It's an effective way to cut down revenue streams of websites. A black/blue hat kind of way...
In general:
The whole internet should under international law, which should be enforced by ALL local law enforcements. For the moment "offshore" hosting still is able to avoid legal issues for certain non-whitehat webmasters.
