    I use all white-hat, unless you consider buying links black/grey (which is debatable).

    Well I'm going to disagree. The links in your signature could be considered black hat. (just having fun here).

    I don't use blackhat, because almost all of my projects are for long term.

    And I bring up the same question to you. What about the links in your signature? They could be considered black hat.

    Sure. From Google: "Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings" and "Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank". Seeing as your signature links are doing just then, well then, that might be black hat.

    I get fair amount of traffic from my signature at DP, as long as traffic is there, I don’t really care what Google thinks!

    naughty naughty, only one problem if they are all hosted on blogspot, you might as well have made a million, you need to have them spread over different providers

    Wow, So did u spend $450.00 on that soft. I know that it is the ultimate black hat tool.

    Given the opportunity I would be interested to use "Black Hat" marketing methods.

    Nothing illegal or unlaful, but unethical is fine by me.

    Should any of you guys have anything to pass along I would be most interested !!!

    Best wishes

    Be seeing you.

    :cool:
