    I always avoid to do black hat seo, but I find, many of us use this and they are on top ten.:(
    Well I think its online suicide of websites. What do you think, good or bad? are you using this technique?

    Well.. If you really thing that some of your competitors using this bad practice and getting rank - I am damn sure that they will be punished on one day.

    You may get nice results today and you have to pay for your wrong practice on one day.

    Please avoid black-hat SEO techniques..!

    People that use black hat only do so because they actually know nothing about site design, SEO, writing content, etc., and are basically lazy so take the cheap way out and try and cheat the search engines. These people are the ones that cause problems for those who are actually in business doing the job properly and having to clean up their mess afterwards!

    There are a LOT of people right here on this forum posting rubbish and asking pointless, asinine questions just to get their sig links out there.

    They are not adding to user experience and actually devaluing this site to get some cheap link juice - I call that black hat!

    Technically, anything that is done to influence the engines rather than people is black hat!

    Keyword Stuffing is another (to a degree) but this is often done by someone not understanding then wondering why, after they have the phrase in the page 40 times, they are not at number 1 on Google!

    Extreme example maybe, but I have seen ones not far off this!

    Doorway pages and redirects, as already mentioned, and using tools to submit a site multiple times to search engines - Google has a way of checking these things.

    building multiple websites and linking them together - nope that's totally legit. It's your right to build as many sites as you like and you are allowed to link to anybody you like UNLESS it's just to try and fool Google into giving you a higher ranking.
    doorway pages - nope - Every page is technically a doorway. Creating pages with solid content to target long tail keywords is totally legit (and sensible)
    hidden text and duplicate sites - just stoopid

    The real blackhat techniques are things like poisoning DNS servers, IP and user agent delivery, SQL injection.... things that are waaay above most of the people in here.
