    Black Hat search engine optimization is customarily defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner. These black hat SEO techniques usually include one or more of the following characteristics:

    * breaks search engine rules and regulations
    * creates a poor user experience directly because of the black hat SEO techniques utilized on the Web site
    * unethically presents content in a different visual or non-visual way to search engine spiders and search engine users.

    Black Hat S.E.O also known as spamdexing or search spam,involves a numbe of illegal techniques that are against search engines guidelines.Any optimization tactic that causes a website ranking high.i.e.repeating unrelated phrases,keyword stuffing,link spamming.Sites using black hat methods has a risk of being penalized or ultimately banned by Search Engine because you can't play with Search Engine long.

    As the term suggests, it is a kind of SEO-money making tool that successfully drives traffic and money yet it opposes the legal SEO regulations. If you get caught in the act of indulging with this kind of SEO strategy, your account will be blacklisted and you may have limited ways to do business online in the future.

    Black hat SEO is the process by which you achieve SERPS placement using tactics that are completely unethical. The results are immediate but will not last. When you are caught implementing black hat SEO you can face severe consequences like site banning.

    Black hat SEO is nothing but doing a SEO in an unethical way. Some of the black hat techniques are,
    * Cloaking
    * Keyword stuffing
    * Creating doorway pages
    * Stuffing keywords using invisible texts etc.

    Tessa_86 you replied this very well. but other tactics is "Invisible text". Don't put white text on a white background. In fact, don't put even very light yellow on a white background. The engines aren't stupid; just because the colors aren't exactly the same doesn't mean they can't figure out there's no contrast. Yes, there are clever ways to try to fool Google about what the background color actually is, but Google is probably aware of most of them anyway, and I won't cover them besides.

    Cloaking, Spamming (Keyword Stuffing), Hidden Text, Doorway Pages, Redirect Pages, Duplicate Content or Websites, Code swapping, Linking to Unrelated Sites or Bad Neighborhoods this all are black hat SEO technique, never use this technique because it is bad.
