    Using duplicate content is a good way to get your site kicked off Googs.

    You can do cloaking, you can hide text and links, you can build a link farm, you can buy expired domains, spin articles, stuff meta tags. Pick your poison.

    I do not used black hat method for seo because its banned or banned impact in website and its strictly banned by google when anytime Google check website and that is used black hat method then very difficult to rank this site because google scan it and not rank when you are correct it.. so that is more dangerous for website ranking...

    Blackhat techniques are techniques such as link wheels or automated methods mostly. The danger is that your site could develop to many links at a time or links from areas you don't want links from. This could drastically decrease your rankings.

    BLACK HAT TACTICS:

    Keyword stuffing: Stuffing your keyword tag or website with many keywords inorder to cheat google..

    Content Copyrighting: Just copying other sites content and pasting on your website..

    These tactics will no longer work after panda algorithm, which is very strict in banning websites that are using this tactics..Yeah, it worked for lot of webmasters in the past but now these methods will not work. Blackhat techniques can win because there must be some loophole in New algorithm also. There are certain blackhat forums available if you are interested in black hat tactics you can learn from blackhat forums..:)

    "Black Hat" techniques are unethical methods that some Web site owners use to get their site listed on search engines. Here's a list of three common techniques.

    Keyword stuffing: Keyword stuffing is the overuse of keywords in a piece of content. Generally, this is repeating the same keywords over and over just to achieve a higher search engine ranking.

    Invisible text: Quite a few cheap sites use this tactic, which involves making keywords to be the same color as the background, so readers can't see the massive amounts of keywords, but search engine spiders can.

    Doorway pages: These are pages that regular visitors cannot see, but search engine spiders can. They are used to trick the search engines so that the site gets a higher ranking. Not only do they go against the rules, but they also hurt the visitor's experience.

    Clocking: It refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines.

    Black hat SEO is one method in SEO but it is illegal for our website. Black hat SEO includes keyword stuffing , invisible text , and doorway pages and if one use these techniques then it consider as spider for search engine.

    Methods of Black hat means the usage of doorways(pages and resources that are created especially for search engines’ robots; they contains many keywords), cloaking (information that is given to users differs from the information for search robots) and usage of hidden text,single-pixel links.

    Black hat is stuff that you do because you know no better. But it's real difficult to draw lines between what is just stupid and what is unethical and dishonest. Buying PR is stupid. Stupid because it makes no difference to the quality of your site. It merely gives you the feeling that you are someone you are not. And it is when you start believing that you can profit from this deception that you cross the line between what is right and what is wrong. Selling PR is wicked. You are preying on others lack of experience and deliberately perpetuating a myth that compromises all.

    Don't be fooled, black hat is not all it's cracked up to be. If I am not mistaken it's a term taken from a comic strip which appeared in Mad Magazine.

    As the name "BLACK HAT" much about itself, these are the techniques which are not preffered by the Search Engines.

    As the search engine prefers only natural link buildings, but these are the techniques which copy content from other places and hence results into violation of rules made by search engines.

    so the conclusion is, don't use blackhat if you wanna get good PR. Just copy some articles that relate to your niche and edit them all :D
    hope it helps

    If you talk about the penalties of Black Hat SEO, means you know its not good to put them in action. Avoid using it as it involves deception and its not a ethical way to go with it.

    Duplicated content is not illegal. It just gets flagged and ignored
    Automated submissions are not illegal. They are are merely irritating and highlight the need for spam control
    Keyword stuffing is a moving target and connot be equated to pimping PR which is really nasty

    Attitude is what it is all about. If webmasters just set out to make themselves useful, the net would be a very different place.
