Meme, tags and lists - How does it help blogs?

I am like a meme magnet. If there is any meme going on, whether locally or internationally, people will come to me. Well, it is my own fault that I openly declared I *heart* memes. Well, originally, I do. But that was before memes come with hundreds over links on a page. I am not so keen placing people I do not know links on my site.

But I am too mild manner to tell people off. So, I have been doing it. It does help to raise my rankings currently. But will it affect the future rankings? I don't know. Well, if I die, I won't die a alone, so bring it on!
