Now that all depends.

There are proper ways to optimize for search engines: meta tags, good 
content, original work, frequent and meaningful updates...

There are also bad ways: blogspamming, keyword loading (white on white 
or black on black text...), useless web pages that exist solely for 
spiders, etc.

...just my opinion... as someone who works at an abuse desk...
