    Could you explain this one? Directory portals serving up empty dynamic pages capture top rankings with little or no effort. And being a simple sort, taking a simplistic view of things, I assume that the Google spider is interrogating the site, following multiple queries which are throwing up thousands of unique title tags and that it is coming away with a grade A score card.

    It is just SEO practices attempt to improve a web page’s search engine ranking through SEO methods that are prohibited by search engines or in violation of their Terms of Service. These techniques are also used by some affiliate marketing sites, as well as sites that host ads.

    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.


    A lot of what is known as black hat SEO actually used to be legit, but some folks went a bit overboard and now these techniques are frowned upon by the general SEO community at large. These black hat SEO practices will actually provide short-term gains in terms of rankings, but if you are discovered utilizing these spammy techniques on your Web site, you run the risk of being penalized by search engines. Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted solution to a long-term problem, which is creating a Web site that provides both a great user experience and all that goes with that.

    Hi there,

    I have to agree with the previous post. Black Hat is not the way to go. It is a short cut that doesn't work. so don't use black hat.

    That should read Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted approach to what might have been a long-term opportunity . All anyone has to do is to make themselves useful and contribute. It's that simple. Google is not the evil despot its generally made out to be. And Black Hat is a misnomer unless one associates black with can't see, not clever and yes....short sighted.

    User awareness is key, and using a multi-layered Internet security software for the protection and malicious URLs, junk mail, and a black hat SEO advantage.

    Black Hat techniques are the unethical ways of trying to optimize your website which are later on caught by the spiders and google penalizes you by kicking off your website!

    Blackhat SEO is building web pages for the sole point of targetting the search engine robots, as opposed to human users, it could get your site de-indexed

    Penalties and filters are not quite the same as de-indexing and blacklisting. Dishonesty and unethical manipulation of the search engine resources results in your site being trashed. Infringements of the guidelines results in penalties which can be rectified and straightened out. There is a big difference. The other point that I believe is important is that what we do and don't do should not be regulated by the fear of an axe hanging over our heads. For some reason this causes people to start cackling like chickens instead of recognising that we all have a responsibility to contribute and add value to the community we participate in. If we could only get this message through to the masses it would make everything a whole lot easier.

    Any set of rules that are likely to get you banned by Google fall under the name of Black Hat SEO.

    Black hat SEO is the term used for unethical optimization techniques. This includes Spam, violating search engine rules . If a search engine discovers a site engaging in black hat SEO it will remove that site from its Index.
