Is Black Hat SEO bad?

Google is to good.
if you use blackhatseo you will probably go undetected for 2-3 months or so before getting banned from google.

 

it's much more prevalent than you think

 

So it is unethical bad to promote your site like this. Anyone disagree?

How does SE find out your website is using blackhat method to get higher ranking? What technique are they using then?

 

Yeah that's actually the definition of Blackhat SEO, using unethical methods to get higher rankings.

And well google is multi billion dollar company, they do know how to detect about every more advanced blackhat seo technique, the question is just how fast.

 

Just don't do it. The only people that will make money are those selling you the techniques at $97 a pop.

 

hm.... So those methods that disapproved by SE are called BlackHat SEO, approved by SE are WhiteHat.

Personally I think that what's good or bad is not the methods you use, but whether you're trying to get a ranking you deserve. If your site is really one of the best about, then it doesn't really matter to me how it gets to the top of the SERPs for a search on that phrase.

Whether you think Black Hat SEO is bad or not you should avoid it anway.

 

It al depends how you look at things - short term or long term. Would you prefer a site which for 12 months does really well and then gets banned, meaning you need to start all over again with the site, links, content etc. Or a site which does ok but slowly and slowly improves as you work on it. I know people who have done well with black hat but any day it may all fall apart.

I recommend to avoid black hat completely.

 

black hat is good for the money you will make from it in the short hand IF you do it right but in the long run its not worth it.

 

why do you think it's called "black hat" ?

 

One of the method is "Invisible text, does it mean we put a paragraph of all the keyword but we put the font color same as the background color? Althou ppl cant see it, when the Googlebot still able to check on those keywords.

How does SE find it out this method then?

 

Not all blackhat method is unethical..some are good and even amazing..

 

I never heard of it. Some are good and even amazing? Like what?

 

Black hat methods are various tricks which the search engines hate. It is best to avoid the black hat techniques. Instead use all the correct methods to get to the top of search engines. That will be better for you.

 

its terrible stay away

 

I did a test on my another website using "invisible text", i dont see much different thou...

 

Is having adsense makes you a black hat? and what are the methods used by black hats???

 

I think there are few ways that blact hat SEO use are invisible text, Cloaking, Spam, doorway pages... But we should avoid using all these method.. Your site will be banned!

 

There's nothing 'bad' or 'illegal' about black hat SEO.

It's against most serach engines TOS, so if caught then the site will be excluded from their index.

If you're a good black hat, then tactics tend to work really well in the short-term, wite-hat SEO is suited to long term projects.

 

If it means getting banned by Google, then I guess google thinks it's cheating.

 

Blackhat is too much work
