    unethical.. who says it's 'unethical'? We've discussed this a zillion times.

    'Black Hat' is stuff google would rather you didn't do, but can't automatically trap yet. So they bluster and threaten and pretend that if you do it, 'bad things will happen' to you because it's "unethical". What happens over time is that as they DO become able to trap this stuff automatically, it stops being 'black hat' and just becomes 'silly'. Like 'doorway pages for example. Or 'cloaking'. Or 'link exchanges'.

    It's not unethical to publish your own content on your own pages any way you like, as long as you don't break any LAWS. Last time I looked, Google weren't actually in charge of setting LAWS...

    Let me give you a few examples of black hat seo: doorways, hiding text from visitors on the page, trying to sell product that is different from what your site ranks for, stealing content, link farms.

    i used to do blackhat, it was quick cash but never lasted, google always changed things and you got screwed or domain banned, not worth it unless you don't mind constantly starting over and figuring out new methods

    Blackhat SEO = SEO.

    You're manipulating results for personal gain. Google would rather us not do any kind of SEO, it just wants to put the best websites at the top of search results. SEO normally hinders that.

    From talking to SEO experts if you use White Hat SEO you will never compete against the unethical ones. Now certain ones do get banned for tactics but certain rules people break are almost impossible to detect so if you go directly by the rules consider yourself like 10 steps behind the others. It is a rat race. Really it is.

    Black hat SEO is short term of making money and white hat SEO is long term of making money. With white hat you can earn permanent money and with black hat you can earn easy and fast money but for short time.

    They are the same except for black hat techniques you will have to wear black hat when you use them, for white white hat.
