    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 is just basically methods that google doesn't like. something like controversial link purchasing, keyword stuffing, hidden text, hidden links, or any methods that google thinks the site is trying to manipulate search engine results. you can have your site search engine optimized and not get your site banned.

    but SEO have not strict rules, they are just opinions after all we are not search engines and no one can say for sure.

    The processes like making door way pages, stuffing the keywords in meta tags and in the page body, redirecting the page etc.

    Yet again. Not illegal. Against google TOS.
    Nowadays it's mostly cloaking and link spam.

    Black Hat SEO is the unethical way to promote/optimize a website with the use of cloaking, spamming, keyword stuffing, duplicate content, doorway pages, linking with pharma, drug, casino, poker related sites for getting high traffic. Many selfish people use this technique for making quick money and spoiling the ethical SEO work because of this clients are very confuse to hire SEO company for website promotion.

    Keep one thing in your mind, you will love Black hat in the early stage, but after that it will makes you cry by providing lots of Penalties in Search engines.
    Ethical SEO is the best way for long term rankings.

    It's only illegal if your version of blackhat methods include things like hacking another website and redirecting it to your own or stealing someone's domain name. Otherwise, it's just methods that violate the rules created by Google and other search engines. It can get your site banned from them, but you won't have police knocking at your door.
