What is the "BlackHat" method?

I keep hearing things about it, but what is it in plain, simple definition?
I searched Google, but I still don't understand it.
How do you make money off of it?
I heard that it has something to do with SEO...

 

kw stuffing, link farms, invisible text, etc

 

"Blackhat" is a description of types of methods for getting your site a better position in searches, that the main search engines consider deceitful, so will penalize when they catch them. Some webmasters consider that such methods are worth doing, because for them the short-term benefits justify it. If you have a site that you want to keep successful over a period of time, they are best avoided, because you will be making more problems for yourself, if you get banned from a major search engine.

 

O ok, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

 

blackhat usually involves spam

I'm guessing you didn't google "blackhat" I'm sure there is a wiki page about it

 

Blackhat is really not worth it.

 

Basically its doing anything that will get you banned from Google for a short term boost in rankings. Its hard to give an exact definition, because blackhat techniques are constantly changing.

 

Don't ever think of trying it

 

blackhat seo is the ways of cheatig from search engines and everybody.

search engines will ban you if you use blackhat seo on your site

 

for example over keywords, same text color and background color, text that can only been seen by search engine but not visitor, link more than 100 link in one page, sneaky redirect ...

 

I disagree having more than 100 links in a webpage is not spam, sometimes the webpage content requires you to do it, so blackhat is not written anywhere and there is no one thing as blackhat but a combination of many things which of course includes the ones you have mentioned here, do what a normal human being will do with his webpages and just keep optimising it in the normal way, do not cross the line, let me put it this way the line between whitehat and blackhat is rather thin, you may go across the line a few times but not permanently

 

Blackhat Method is the unethical way of doing SEO.
It is one of the fastest way of achieving a ranking or something but its also one of the fastest downfall of the site. If you're planning to do Blackhat, i advise you not to do it because it's so risky.

 

Blackhat may refer to SEO doing unethical things... like for example is spamming, link farming etc...

 

Keyword stuffing - it is either excessive repitition of keywords or list of unrelated keywords in a site, it is used to manipulate site rankings by its keywords.

Cloaking - a method where the landing page of the site looks organized to humans but has different representation for the search engine spiders.

Page hijacking - used to spam the search engines by having different tlds with the same domain name and same ip.

 

Black hat is technique used to cheat or trick search engines spiders for the sake of good SERPs ranking; it might penalize a site for doing it according to Google Webmaster's Guidelines. The black hat technique includes:
Keyword stuffing
cloaking
invisible texts
doorway pages

 

Hiding text or keywords in your page by blending the color of your background is also a blackhat technique.

 

Shoemoney considers most seo as black hat. I think black hat methods are not necessarily spam.

 

Just don't over optimize everything in your page make it naturally and all shall be fine.

 

some black hat seo terms:
cloaking
keyword stuffing
link farm
spamexing/spamdexing
doorway page
mirror site

you definitely need to know those terms and avoid it.

 

an illegal way of being optimized the website...
