    Black Hat search engine optimization is customarily defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner.

    It can't work! Black Hat SEO is the worst way to optimize your website. It is the "illegal" way to optimize your website. It consists of link farming, hidden text, cloaking, gateway pages, spamming meta tags.

    Basically is you use the Black Hat SEO techniques, your rankings will sky rocket! Meaning that you will see amazing results in a very short amount of time. But, after a very short amount of time, you will lose all of your rankings and you will end in the banned list of search engines. This means that you will never ever appear again in SERPs.

    Anyways I have one thing to say about Black Hat SEO. Avoid it at all costs! This is a killer and it could really destroy your website as far as search engines are concerned.

    "Black Hat" techniques are unethical methods that some Web site owners use to get their site listed on search engines (and to obtain a high search engine listing). Here's a list of three common "Black Hat" techniques you should avoid since they could get your site banned.

    1. Invisible text.
    Don't put white text on a white background. In fact, don't put even very light yellow on a white background.
    2. Cloaking.
    Cloaking means showing one page to Googlebot and a completely different page to real human visitors.
    3. Keyword Stuffing.
    Don't use repeated keywords.
    4. Doorway pages.
    A doorway page is a page built specifically for the purpose of ranking well in the search engines and without any real content of its own, and which then links to the "real" destination page, or automatically redirects there.
    5. Spam.
    Spam has a special meaning with regards to SEO: worthless pages with no content, created specifically for the purpose of ranking well in the engines.

    Black hat SEO is a method of promoting your site and making it more visible to search engines without following SE's standards. In short, illegal or unethical way of optimizing your site.

    be prepared to have multiples affiliates accounts(such as adsense) because your account might be banned once google know you're using blackhat methods.

    Since there's already enough information posted by metaseo and dulcet30 to fully understand Black Hat SEO, I'd just make mine simple. Black Hat SEO is cheating your way to gain the top position in SERP very quickly. It is totally bad for your website because of the consequences waiting for you right after. Don't be tempted if you want a long-term result. Think of the things you're going to lose if you followed the bad advice given by some of the members.

    Black hat is unethical and neither does it get any results . You will just get a fake sense of achievement when you build millions of links to your site and maybe get some traffic for short term but if the site is not really credible and trusted no one makes a purchase from the site . So what good is it anyway ?

    Black Hat SEO is the unethical search engine optimization strategy. It is the non-compliance to the rules and regulations set by search engines in optimizing a website and their non-conformity to the quality guidelines. Is it bad? Of course. It is unethical.

    Site moderators oftentimes uses this technique for them to have a sudden increase in the ranking of their page to search engines. But sooner, search engines will still locate this violation and later, these sites will be penalized online.

    Black Hat SEO means Spamdexing (also known as search spam, search engine spam or web spam) involves a number of methods, such as repeating unrelated phrases, to manipulate the relevancy or prominence of resources indexed by a search engine, in a manner inconsistent with the purpose of the indexing system. ...This term refers to using deceptive or unethical techniques to get high rankings in search engines; for example hidden text, cloaking and link farms. Don't do this.

    Never use black hat seo techniques. It is unfair, illegal, unacceptable, undesired, and not rewarding in real sense.

    Stay away from Black Hat or you will regret it one day. It doesn't work in the long term anyway as google changes its algo regularly and black hat
    SEO's grind their teeth afterwards as their magic does not work anymore. Only fools waste their time with this crap.
