Black Hat SEO???

Hi folks,

Black Hat search engine optimization is defined as unethical techniques that are used to get higher search rankings.

It is not recommended but I am finding people are doing it and being said that it is effective for short term. People use black hat tactics to get instant ranking and traffic for particular time period which is the best for their business. For example people are selling such products which are in demand at the time of Christmas so they might use black hat to get high ranking and traffic for short term to get benefit of Christmas days.

What is your opinion about it?

As you said black hat is good for short term. If you want to establish a good online business it is not the way to go, plus whatever trick you may find to receive traffic with black hat is just a matter of time until it changes (google has a whole group of people to fight search engine spam)

Blackhat seo is not a good method to promotion one's site.If you wan to be a good businessman,i hope you could not to use it.

 lot of what is known as black hat SEO actually used to be legit, but some folks went a bit overboard and now these techniques are frowned upon by the general SEO community at large.

These black hat SEO practices will actually provide short-term gains in terms of rankings, but if you are discovered utilizing these spammy techniques on your Web site, you run the risk of being penalized by search engines.

Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted solution to a long-term problem, which is creating a Web site that provides both a great user experience and all that goes with that.

Black Hat SEO is illegal SEO.

Yes you are right Black Hat SEO is absolutely an illegal one as to using illegal techniques for them to be able to lift the sites, spamdexing, and other spamming strategies. This is a easy way to get your site banned from search engines.

Didn't expect that kind of an answer from someone who's username is black hat seo :)

BlackhatSEO, you are their rival or good fairy?

Black Hat SEO uses unethical ways just to get back links. It doesn't follow rules and regulations. Cloaking, improper redirects, keyword stuffing, invisible text and link farms are just some of the methods that falls under black hat.

google will catch you but the penality is poor, buying links will results in a temporary drop in serps rather than banned, they should step up the fight and start banning sites for good

Yea, the penalty should be tougher otherwise more people will resort to black hat seo and this is unfair to those who use organic seo....

You should rather stay away from Black hat techniques when even white hat techniques can get you what you want

i heard that google employ people to register with link buying sites to establish who is buying and selling links, this could be bull but is it worth the risk

Black hat seo is illegal seo and in my point of view, it is just like cheat.

Black hat SEO is about getting higher search rankings in an unethical manner. It is about cheating the search engines with low search engine techniques.

Yes, it is good for short term. But for my part, you'd better keep away from it. Whit hat seo is always the best. And in the long run, you can benefit from it a lot.

yaa i'm agree with you if you can get use balck hat SEO techniques so you can get good result in sort time

in using black hat SEO techniques, they're having the PR as high as it could be but this is not the right move. i mean there are lots of good techniques that we can use right? why not use it..

It is an unethical technique. Black Hat Seo Stands for activities those are against to Google Algorithm and Google always against for this technique. Lots of SEO used to get high rank in SERPs within very short time but if Google find them than they may be penalize or banned by Google. Yes, this technique very useful to high rank in SERPs but mind it Google always against Black Hat SEO. Some of the trick of Black Hat SEO:-

(1) Keyword Stuffing
(2) Cloaking
(3) Title Stacking
(4) Hidden Links
(5) Links with Bad Neighborhood etc.

I believe that if your business is serious you wouldn't use this techniques

You cannot rely on black hat seo, i think building a stable income should be the first step for every online marketer.

For business it's SO wrong to apply black hat, you will be failed

black hat seo is all the techniques against the defied rules of Google. Google will penalize in this case and you will be in a big loss.

Black Hat Seo is unethical technique in SEO. Though the results are great but it's really not the right way to rank the site.

Black hate techniques can let you have good boost, but that is not long run,, because whenever google know that, you website can be penalzed..so this is more effective to have natural SEO,,

Black hat SEO is definitely not the methods you want to use to get your website ranked. For the best (long-term) results, focus your SEO on white-hat SEO methods. Otherwise, you risk getting your site banned.

Black hat SEO can please you but only for sometime. Your site might get banned or penalized. Black hat SEO is an unethical way, it doesn't follow any search engines guidelines. As for example if you break traffic rules you get penalized in the same way if you are following any unethical way for doing SEO, surely one day you have to pay for it.
