Hello All,

Can anyone tell me What is exactly Black hat SEO?

**electrifire** · 11-03-2009, 05:01 PM

by no means am I a professional but my understanding is black hat seo is under hand tactics in getting your site into google quicker, may even go as far as against googles rules.

**webcosmo** · 11-03-2009, 05:37 PM

they are the seo methods that are considered not right ways to search engines.

**johnch** · 11-03-2009, 06:53 PM

Black hat techniques are those that get quicker results without the hard labor. Since quality seo is all about hard work.

spaming is all abut blackhat...!

**arnabme** · 11-04-2009, 01:26 AM

I don't think blackhat seo gets you quicker result. What it can definitely do for you is to get your website banned.

Well, check out the website blackhatseo for info, but would definitly not recommend it. It will give results in the very short run though...

blackhat is primarily about using mass/volume techniques to harvest adsense and affiliate revenue from a huge pool of sites. Its mainly about quick and dirty content generation.

IMHO most blackhat, as a tactic is simply "throw enough **** at the wall and some will stick".

Blackhat SEO is anything that violates Google's guidelines, which are vague. There are black hat tactics that can still boost ranking. Not everyone gets penalized.

**ahmi** · 11-06-2009, 02:58 AM

Promoting your site in terms of unethical practices such as cloaking,linkfarming,hidden text and link bait etc.This is black hat seo.

**Alex Carlson** · 11-06-2009, 03:29 AM

Those techniques of which search engines do not approve. For Ex- Doorway pages,invisible text,cloaking,linkfarming,hidden text and link bait

**chrishirst** · 11-06-2009, 04:09 AM

How the H*** is "link bait" a "blackhat" technique???

I suppose the next thing is you'll be telling us that writing articles is a good thing!

**chrishirst** · 11-06-2009, 04:17 AM

AND Just in case your are just as confused.

"link bait" IS writing articles either good quality ones or controversial ones with the plan of getting other Internet to discuss them and/or link to them.

It's also called natural linking!!! Just in case you didn't know, natural links are one that YOU don't place yourself as opposed to the usual rubbish blog, forum, "social media" spamming that the majority think are so wonderful.

If "link bait" is so bad, then let's have more of it!

**rashmi** · 11-06-2009, 05:30 AM

Black hat is a spamming technique.
