Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if anybody here was a member of the BlackHatSEO forums. I read somewhere that membership was $100/month or $1,000/year. This to me seems insane, and I was just curious to know if any members want to step forward and appraise the service

Thanks

Yeah, it's $100 a month - Introductory price. It already has 437 members, so the owner must be raking it in!

I wonder how many people actually paid though. Is it a scheme to merely generate interest or are they actually already paying for forum access?

**Indy** · 08-24-2006, 08:18 PM

I'd imagine quite a lot of them are paying for it... SEOBlackhat is one of the best BH resources out there, and attracts quite a lot of serious 'Blackhatters'.

**imported_Anthony** · 08-24-2006, 08:21 PM

Ah I see so the blog already existed before the forum & subscription came into play. I see now

**rex_b** · 08-24-2006, 08:23 PM

Yep the are a huge BH resource.

**imported_Anthony** · 08-24-2006, 08:26 PM

Do you think their quality justifies paying $100 per month for?

**johniman7** · 08-24-2006, 08:35 PM

What is the difference between white hat and black hat seo?

Eithical values

I wouldn't pay $100/month, especially for blackhat.

**SteveAR** · 08-25-2006, 12:46 AM

i registered just to see how they did it. wow 100 bucks a month. is there a free forum that talks about blackhat? not a bad idea to have the good and the bad. its always better to know both so who has some info.

**Romestar** · 08-25-2006, 02:01 AM

maybe a few of us could pitch in the try a month?

**imported_Anthony** · 08-25-2006, 02:10 AM

It's a redundant option for me since I don't desire to learn about SEO at the moment, however feel free and post here how it turns out

Yeah, I'll PM you the URL.

I didn't think it was worth it. It might be a good resource if you're an excellent coder, but I didn't benefit much from it. A lot of stuff has to do with spamming blogs and what not. Not really my cup of tea.

Expert Discussions: The SEO Black Hat forums are not for everyone and they may not be right for you. If you are relatively new to SEO or building websites, then do not join the SEO Black Hat Forums: you will be in way over your head. There are plenty of newbie forums out there for you – this is not one of them. Our forums are for successful web entrepreneurs to develop strategies that drive more traffic and generate more revenues.

Spamming blogs? Get one of those auto register for blogger/with auto feed/post and register thousands of blog and point it to your site.

**bollywoodhub** · 10-03-2006, 07:59 AM

probably sumthing to do with Botnets ...maybe

**MonkeyBiz** · 10-03-2006, 10:58 AM

werd that

**dogisland** · 10-03-2006, 11:09 AM

I have followed (but not implemented) some of the blackhat techniques.

They mainly revolve around gaming links from various sources to spammy blogs with revenue coming from adsense.

Ditto. I understood maybe 2% of what was written and it sounded very shady. I'd rather just build sites and make it popular.
