Black Hat SEO???

thomas09 · 08-31-2009, 12:07 PM

Hi folks,

Black Hat search engine optimization is defined as unethical techniques that are used to get higher search rankings.

It is not recommended but I am finding people are doing it and being said that it is effective for short term. People use black hat tactics to get instant ranking and traffic for particular time period which is the best for their business. For example people are selling such products which are in demand at the time of Christmas so they might use black hat to get high ranking and traffic for short term to get benefit of Christmas days.

What is your opinion about it?

This is not something new. This is actually big business for seasonal businesses such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and other major holidays.

Have you ever heard the expression:
"if your going to do something, do it right."

Why hide content when you can write SEO and user friendly content?
Why make fake pages, when you can build useful powerful pages?
Why waste time getting links from BH sites when you can invest the time getting strong links?

The effort that people put into blackhatting their site can be put towards ethical methods and secure good results. For seasonal items start early. Optimizing your site now will insure good positions next year.

AgentOz is totally right, nothing more to add, except maybe that some day google will find it's way to treat "seasonal" pages right. So why "playing lazy" when you can do it right?

Black Hat SEO don't follow rules and regulations. Door-way pages, improper redirects, spamming, keyword stuffing, hidden text and cloaking are just some of the methods that falls under Black Hat SEO.

Black Hat SEO is clearly unethical when it abuses resources. It is common to automate the creation of social media accounts, create hundreds or thousands of sites and spam them with links. To camouflage the operation additional thousands upon thousands of bogus entries are scraped from RSS feeds.

First, this usually violates the terms of service which would prohibit opening large numbers of accounts. Further, it pollutes the sites with rubbish. Finally it is detrimental to the owners of the site by wasting storage space and bandwidth. Does this mean that automating posting to social sites is unethical?

Only if it abuses resources, violates terms of service or is harmful to people. A user agent is a user agent, whether it is called Firefox, googlebot or libwww. It’s what you do with the automation that may be unethical.

1. Keywords Stuffing
2. Cloaking
3. Doorway Pages
4. Link Farming
5. Page Hijacking
6. Mirror Websites
7. Buying Expired Domains
8. Selling Page Rank

They are the common black hat SEO techniques, and keep away with them!
