    They are devious methods into tricking a search engine into thinking there a good site. Steer well clear, when you get found you will be heavily penalised by google and maybe removed from the search database.

    One of the wrong impressions people have about blackhat techniques is that they are illegal. Usually they're not. What they ARE is often against the terms of service of various providers.

    For instance...using proxies so you can conceal your IP address and location. This allows you to log in multiple times to services like Yahoo answers, Squidoo, etc. and you can "vote" on questions you've posted or lenses you've created as multiple users. This makes it look like a lot of people are paying attention to your question or lens and will cause your stuff to rise in the search engines and get more visitors.

    So a lot of black hat stuff is like that - gaming the system a bit or taking shortcuts, sometimes using automated software, but not doing anything illegal really.

    Your sites or your user id can get banned by the various services you're abusing, however - and therein lies the risk. You could discover that Google deindexes your site, or you could be banned from using a certain service. So you often have to measure whatever shortterm gains you might have against long-term problems.

    dangregory is 100% correct. Blackhat is not illegal - it's a way to get past the long boring process of starting up a site and begin making the profit you deserve.

    Blackhat means different things to different people. Essentially it's about manipulating search results to get your offer ahead of everyone else without waiting around for ranking or playing by the conventional "rules". There are plenty of illegal activities that could fall under this "hat" but there are also plenty of tricks that one on the outside would say are "unfair" but work for those promoting them.

    It's all about your own personal ethics and how willing you are to invest in strategy that is often short lived.

    Black hat is about bending the rules so that you get fast results but just like anything there are risks involved but if you know what you are doing they can pay quick

    a simple equasion is whitehat = slow = safe
    blackhat = fast = risky

    they both have there pros and cons I use both

    I would like to second several opinions that have already been posted. First of all don't think that black hat involves anything illegal. It doesn't or at least it shouldn't.

    I'll give you an example. Many people have multiple e-bay accounts, multiple cpa accounts, multiple AC accounts. They might even have a half dozen pay-pal identities. It also, usually, involves using proxys or being able to change your IP at will. Many people use Black Hat methods when using Craigs List in order to make 100's of posts a day without getting "ghosted."

    Many people have an ethical problem with these methods. Many more don't. It's your call.

    I think there are certain aspects of blackhat marketing that may get you banned from the search engine however, dangregory pointed out some things you can do using blackhat marketing that will not put your site at risk.

    You have to be skillful to be a black hat. Also it is hard to be or become just google it.

    Those that are scared of black hat techniques are nieve. Depending what your doing there can be some risk, but if you research ahead of time you should be able to avoid most normal pitfalls. For example don't pound backlinks hardcore to a new domain or google will know somthings up. It isn't illegal, it's getting the most out of a system.
