I want to know if some one wants to optimize a website for very competitive keywords like travel, finance and ...
1) Can he use of blackhat seo techniques?
2) Will he become successful only by using white hat seo?

Yes and Yes

Agree and agree.......

For any niche whitehat methods should be used, Black hat is not the way. Blackhat methods are short term and decrease your online reputation.

White hat is best but takes more time dedication. White hat is for long-term traffic and gains whereas black hat is for short term gains. Yes, you can get ranked high using black hat methods but eventually, you will get blacklisted or dropped. So it really depends on your business model and goals.

Stick to white hat, or approved, methods...that will be the best for your long-term goals.

Sure... you "can" become successful only with whitehat SEO. Is it likely that you will? ONLY if you dedicate months and possibly years to link building. Travel and finance are two of the toughest verticals to compete in and even huge companies have problems ranking for those most competive keyword phrase...


Your best option? Give up on those competitive phrases in those competitive verticals and go after VERY long tail phrases. Once you are ranking for the VERY long tail phrases, it will be easier to rank for shorter and shorter tail phrases over time... but you may NEVER rank for the head phrases in those verticals.

Yes, white hat gets a fairly decent chance at making long term wealth.

go for approved techniques means white hat SEO.

black hat SEO = Search Engines Enemy
white hat SEO = search engines bestfriend

I would recommend that please go for white hat seo techniques not black hat....
