My rankings have never increased based on social success, however I never completely dismiss a theory and like the fact that people have different opinions and experiences. Negative SEO is a possibility I have seen it happen, however long standing authority domains seem to be immune to the effects of negative spammy links.

I use adsense but I won’t forever, it’s a testing ground really to see what CTR’s are like.
