    try to cheat the search engine and violate the rules of search engine is called the black hat SEO. It was very successful in the past but now the spiders become much efficient that to cheat them is very difficult now. cloaking and reverse SEO are recently used techniques for black hat SEO.

    Hey you can take more idea from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat_SEO

    But black hat is not the ethical way to SEO. You can get short term benefits, but you may be penalize by Google (or search engine) in a long way.

    spamdexing, uses methods such as link farms, keyword stuffing and article spinning. or trying to get someone elses site banished from google. or if you just wear a black hat and do seo while wearing it :0)

    where you use unethical methods of seo to attempt to trick the engines into ranking you faster to get more traffic. i wouldnt advise using any technique listed as black hat, the engines are smarter than that, and will penalize you. the long term effect of this is disastrous for what its worth.

    It depends on who you ask. According to Google just about any link building is black hat, or at grey hat at the very least.

    The best definition i have heard about black hat is, if you feel the technique is unethical and you would not want it done on your site then it is black hat, what is white hat and grey hat today may become black hat tomorrow, it all depends how many people abuse the technique. when alot of people are abusing a technique then google usually adjusts their algorythm and let the community know that they consider this and that technique to be black hat..

    Hi,

    The black hat seo known as spamdexing ( search spam, search engine spam or web spam) involves a number of methods, such as repeating unrelated phrases, to manipulate the relevancy or prominence of resources indexed by a search engine, in a manner inconsistent with the purpose of the indexing system. ...

    Blackhat SEO “exploits weaknesses in the algorithm by breaking the webmaster guidelines”. Blackhat SEO is primarily about “cheating” / “manipulating” search engines. It is also about “misrepresenting content to search engines”.

    That was an black seo does....

    Black Hat SEO tactics are practices used by unethical SEO companies, and online marketing sites to trick search engines into giving them a higher ranking than they deserve. Black Hat SEO delivers fast results, but is ultimately very bad news for the users. Black Hat tactics are considered unethical, because they almost always break the rules of search engines. In addition to that, sites that use Black Hat SEO techniques make for a near universally bad user experience. When search engines discover that these methods are being used, they will often block those sites from search results, rendering the site essentially useless.

    I know that somebody created illegal inbound links from other sites. I don't know how they can create those links without login credentails...

    My friend site is http://www.nfljerseysworlds.com and selling cheap jerseys. The site failed to rank top at google, because almost all the competitors have a lot of illegal links from high PR sites...
