    I wrote this short article yesterday that I thought I would share here: What is Black Hat SEO?

    I've been in SEO and marketing for about 10 years now, so it's just my thoughts on the subject. I would love to hear more opinions though.

    Well, as I said i nthe article, it's mostly the same methods white hats use, but with automation. My company for example develops automated link building software, dynamic Landing Page Generating software, wordpress automation and cloaking tools as well as a widely known automated site builder. The key is replicating what works and doing it in volume.

    This is nice to get knowledge about black hat seo. But I don't think it is good to implement. We should not violate
    search engine's rule. Better we should follow Search engine method in fair way.

    Common misconception and completely off base. Keyword stuffing may have been popular 10 years ago, but black hat is light years beyond that.

    Who nominated the search engines as the internet police? As long as you aren't doing anything illegal, why should the search engines have any say in how I build my sites. If they are that easily manipulated, why not take advantage of that? Worst case, I lose a free domain I setup somewhere or a cheap .info.
