I don't want to be super shady and get sandboxed, but I KNOW there are some "gray hat" methods out there - primarily involving automation - that I am missing out on. Can you suggest places to start looking? And different ways to implement? (I've heard of "controlled" automated blog commenting as one example) *I know this is a potentially dangerous road to go down, but this is all for experimental purposes anyway - I'm just trying to learn here. Thanks.
For the shake of learning and experimenting only? give me a break.. Anyway, I recommend you to read bluehatseo.com materials. Read, learn, and then decide for yourself. Sam
try the google and find the relavent result.. but on personal note i dont suggest you to go for grey hat seo..
