Black hat?? The first time I heard about it was here on DP; And still doesn't know a lot about it... It almost sounds like cheating or something. Not sure if posting in the right section but would be great if someone can help me to know more about it, Any basics or links to start getting more info about it would be awesome too. Thanks. Ted.
If you use blackhat techniqes there is good chance that your site will get banned from google meaning you won't get indexed or rank in search engines. Tread cautiously.
Black hat is a general term to describe any sneaky underhanded or illegal method or program. In terms of link development and SEO, blackhat is typically considered to be anything that is done soley to manipulate search results with little to no benefit to a real reader looking for information. This includes things like spam, google bombing, gaming social media sites, autoblogging, etc. Like the previous poster said, using blackhat techniques is likely to get you banned from google eventually. Blackhat techniques are typically only effective in the short term (though they are often extremely effective for that short period of time).
