    Hi,

    I'd like to know what techniques you use to promote and operate your website's black hat or white hat? And how much you earned last month :)

    I wear a fuchsia scarf, big fella. :)



    Seriously, though; why do all these people want to know how much everyone else makes? Maybe it's because of where I was raised but I've always considered that rude as hell.

    $1000 is a piece of cake, you dont need any hats to reach that. what are you doing with the domains currently?

    When first starting out, with no plan in mind and no real way of getting one it can be pretty daunting.

    hehe same from where i come from .. the only time it's ok to ask .. is when it is related to TAXES :) otherwise we only give sketchy information like " not much ", " just enough " , or just the minimum applicable salary or wage :D

    ON Topic:
    I dont wear any hat but i do wear a white cap :cool:

    I used some black hat techniques and most of them went up in smoke after a couple of months. My white hat techniques are there yet and still giving me traffic

    Pretty much exclusivly white-hat (depending on your definition) my own sites that I work on are long-term plans and I'd never rish black-hat techniques on client sites.

    I'd like to give black-hat a proper go at some point, though I just don't have the time at the moment.

    I'm a grey hat, I use 'white hat' techniques but I always try to push the line, but have never broken the line ;) lol

    White hat = far away from the line
    Black hat = over stepping the mark

    so I guess I'm a light-grey hatter :) lol

    I don't where a hat, I just do what works. Some would say cloaking would be completely black hat, but there are several instances that cloaking is a necessity for the client to have.

    There are too many grey areas. And until the search engines really jump on the task of SPECIFICALLY identifying those grey areas, then all hats will be worn by good marketers.
