Is it really that bad? What does exactly include? Will google punish it somehow, and how? Just building links your self is not natural. It is little like cheating, is it? If your content is good, people will link to it and google will find it relevant. If you build 1000s of links yourself, that's not the case... So, what do you think?
To me blackhat seo is doing anything to try and trick google. obviously there are varying degrees of this, like hacking websites. I dont think i would classify link building as black hat.
Link building aint blackhat. But using software to build tons of links is! Blackhat is also when you are exploiting a website for a good backlink
I'd say black hat was more hacking sites for links and stuff like that, tricking punters and generally being dishonest to make a few dollar. Building/buying/mass generation of links is just par for the course in SEO - it's not blackhat
BlackHat = get caught, get banned GreyHat = don't get banned per se, but questionable ethics WhiteHat = get caught, get flowers
Black Hat SEO is an unethical way of optimizing your site and building back links with the intention of placing faster in SERPs and earning a PR. Although in the beginning it can work it will eventually catch up to you and will be detrimental for your site. Your site can get banned for good from Google and other Search Engines can follow. I suggest you ONLY use white hat SEO tactics and be patient. Cheating only works initially and when it catches up to you it is serious bad news.
Never done Black Hat SEO before and not planning on it either. You may get lucky but it might be short lived and personally I don't think it's worth it.
If you want readers to reach you in thousand years, you can let people link to you. but for me, you should do both. Create a good high quality content and outsource all the seo work. that is what most people do.
and blackhat method, you could easily get banned. just do it under radar, and make it natural. dont be fools.
Don't say that building links is black hat as long as you follow the rules. As long as you are doing the ethical technique you are doing fine.

actually i just want to know that if we do more link building for our site then will google put in black hat?
Just stay away from automated link building. It'll avoid 99% of the issues that Google would have because web site vandalism {I consider spamming to fall under this} is the main problem that has sprouted out of Google's backlink-weighing algorithms. It'll also keep your IPs off the international blacklists, which is where they all go whenever I catch a spam account spamming junk onto my forum
