What is your observation when using blackhat?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Guntzenbach Conrad, Nov 27, 2017.

    I run a total of 13 websites and I admit I have been using blackhat for about 9 of them. As for those with only whitehat backlinks, I started those from April this year.

    When studying the trends now, I start to realize that those with no blackhat are performing ALOT better. While I do not particularly notice significant negative effects due to penalties, I do realize the increase in organic keywords and much more viable keywords on page 1.

    In conclusion, don't waste your time and money with blackhat. Infact you will end up spending more time and money with blackhat because you will have to try to "fix" the problem.

    What are your thoughts?

    I never used blackhat techniques and do not recommend to anyone. These techniques seem easy and sometimes give you the best results but not for long-term so, better is not to do it. These techniques are like a trap that get the user attention because as I told, these seem easy but the truth is these techniques are harmful to the website and in final you always get the bad results.

    What is meant by Blackhat SEO techniques?
    The answer is simple to make fool both Users and Search Engines but not for a long time.

    Use Whitehat techniques, I know it takes time but the results are for the long term and effective.
    Don't go with easy one, go with the best one.

    There are some things such as PBN's that are termed as blackhat techniques. But actually they work just fine if you do it right.

    Blackhat techniques, are either unknown by almost anyone but a few and they work OR they are known by many people and they don't work. Google is way beyond most of our abilities to trick it. For those that set up PBN's they are either really good at keeping under the radar or they are already known about by Google. That's just my opinion.

    You think a PBN is blackhat? It doesn't seem blackhat to me.

    Blackhat SEO techniques work in the short term, but it's very likely to get your site penalized eventually (and it's tough to recover after this kind of penalty).
    If you don't care about the long benefits and you are happy with some quick results, no one can stop you.
    However, if you are looking for the long-term benefits, never use the blackhat strategies.

    A few years back I used to build upwards of 5 million links per day and it was decent to get sites profitable quickly. Google have massively upped their game recently though when it comes to autogenerated content and mass automation.

    I guess this comes down to your personal definition of black/whitehat. IMO if you break the Google Webmaster Guidelines then its blackhat.

    Here are the two main things I feel PBNs break from the Webmaster Guidelines...

    Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings.
    Participating in link schemes


    And this from their link schemes page...

    Any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. This includes any behavior that manipulates links to your site or outgoing links from your site.

    Block hat do not do it or support it. Either way you will hurt by Google's game plan and real time algorithms.

    First of all it is "Black hat" and not "block hat or black head"
    and i know that kellyrose is trying to say that by doing or supporting that activity, the website will be in trouble.
