Blackhat methods

    I know a few ebooks that are even available for sale here and I was wondering if it is worth to use blackhat methods and if they are so good why people don't use them. I know that you can get caught but whatever you just buy another method. Just wondering if anybody makes money just using blackhat.

    hmm...stay away from the ebooks. I havn't seen one in my career that was somehow useful. Although...it depends on what you know already. Some of the stuff might sound interesting to you but you will not get rich by just reading. ;)

    Nobody uses black hat techniques because their deceitful and illegal on many services. You'll get banned from things like adsense for using those sorts of techniques!

    the "black" techniques wouldn't exist if "nobody uses" them;)... Some people do, but they don't care about long therm results and of course, reputable seo companies never use them

    actually, a lot of people use them. They are not illegal. You will not go to jail. You may get banned from adsense but its not ilegal.

    I am 19 and i make $13,000+ a month by strictly using blackhat methods, risky and confusing but also very successful. By learning all types of blackhat methods it got my mind thinking, and now i use all the blackhat knowledge i have to create my own methods...The more methods you know, the more money you make. BUT, some methods will only work for a certain amount of time...So its best that if you do purchase a blackhat method ebook or video, you dedicate yourself to making the most out of that method. Most blackhat methods arent get rich quick scams, more so...the harder you work, the more you make...the more you learn, the more you make...So i would recommend, blackhat methods are...AFFIRMATIVE buddy...late-

    No, I wouldn't recommend BH !,
    It might be good in short term, but it's a lot of effort, which can be wasted in a second if you are banned !
    Try and build for long term success

    Lot of successful people used BH techniques. Its not recommended, but if you do would be at your own risk of course.

    My understanding of "Blackhat methods" are any illegal or unethical ways to make money. If I am wrong I would like to here what other peoples definitions are. You can make tons of money doing illegal things but is the payoff worth the risk?

    Blackhat methods do you work and are MOST are not illegal by any means. If you have a company website or site that you are building for long term then blackhat is not the way for you because the site will more then likely get penalized or even banned from the search engines. The cost of domains are cheap, thus making the website easy to throw away when you are done with them. The thing to making blackhat work for you is first reading about, researching and seeing if that technique is your technical means. If you do not fully understand it, find out what makes it work so it can work for your site. If you know absolutely nothing about black hat SEO, then by all means you can find plenty of free books about methods and techniques all over the internet. Grant it some of those techniques will no longer work, it will give you a basic understanding as to how that method did work at one time. There are black hat forums you can join and learn quite a bit of information from.

    The key to black hat marketing is being innovative and creative. The more you learn about black hat marketing, the more you will be able to test out and in the end come up with your own black hat methods that truly work. A lot of the black hat methods you will read about are already being used and abused by others. The problem is, if there is a great black hat technique that someone or a small group of friends are using, do you really think they are going to tell it to everyone else? Chances are no, they will milk it for everything they can, then make an ebook about what they did and make more money from that ebook.

    Remember too that there are dozens of Black Hat forums out there sharing the information, so it isn't like there are many really innovative ideas.
    What you will find is ideas you didn't know about.

    But again- be aware of exactly what you are getting into before diving in.
    Sign up to the forums and ask hard questions, like..."will this get me banned from Adsense?". ;)

    "illegal onmany services, You took my quote out of context. I used the term "illegal" to make my point. The term illegal is not exclusive to the judicial system you know :mad:

    Well yeah......duh....lol. My mistake, I used "nobody" in a slang form that I should have avoided. (ie: "Nobody will believe this!", not referring to specific person/group, because of course someone will believe you no matter how ridiculous your claim is).

    Let me clarify for future posters in the thread:

    Black Had SEO techniques are bad business. You may be "terminated" or "banned" from certain services if you use them. It's like cheating.

    black hat is the term used for the techniques that break the rules according to google and if you get caught doing them google and other search engines could ban you
