Not at all, there's no magic solutions out there and only Google knows how it's algorithms work, the best clues come from the Google webmaster guidelines and their regular statements through their videos and the musings of people like Matt Cutts.
To know anything more than that you have to do your own testing and whenever I talk about SEO matters I can only speak from personal experience and what works for me may not work for someone else, there are just too many variables.
I think, as always, the focus should be on quality and the end user. If you're focused on that then Google should look favorably upon you.
Most everything comes down to how you implement things. If you're doing things that Google sees as improving user experience then you'll almost always be ok. However people use some of these techniques to try to game the search engines and Google particularly has been putting alot of work into detecting things which take away from quality and user experience.
