Many people have their own opinions on exactly what techniques constitute Black Hat SEO. Black Hat SEO is basically using any unethical (devious) methods to rank higher on search engines. Black Hat Seo in my opinion is not a certain death sentence for you website, I like to use what I refer to as Grey Hat techniques that are not likely to get your website penalized.
Some of the most frowned upon Black Hat SEO methods include the following:
Link Farms This is a method where many sites link to each other to mutually up their incoming links. It can be detected since there is a very high number of mutual links and they are generally out of context.
Obvious Link Buying (or selling) certain sites sell links on their pages knowing the value of them. In general, buying a link is not likely to harm your site but you may be wasting your money. Search engines try to spot the sites selling links and downgrade or ignore the links coming from the site. If a website openly advertises that they sell links then I would not buy a link from them.
Hidden text Hiding text in a web page is always a bad thing. Older techniques of putting the text as the same colors as the background or using css to hide it are easily spotted and pointless. If you have text on a page, make sure that it can be seen. The only exceptions to this are navigation buttons which require javascript or css and the content may be used as a backup (for browsers that cannot use javascript for example). In these cases, the text that cannot be seen should be relevant and not deceiving.
Spamming Spam in this context is over stuffing your pages with text that does not read well. If a page has text stuffed in that is there for the sole purpose of keyword stuffing then it is spam. It is much better to write proper text for humans that contain the keywords that you want to be on the page.
Cloaking This is a technique where software delivers a different page to the spiders as it does for the humans to fool the spider into thinking that the page is about something else. Sometimes there may be a genuine reason to do this (formatting for different platforms etc.) but in this case the content should be pretty similar.

Apa 'Black hat' itu ?
‘Black hat’ adalah teknik Internet Marketing yang digunakan untuk ‘menipu’ search engine seperti Google atau Yahoo supaya website anda tampil di halaman pencarian Utama.
Teknik ini tidak disukai oleh search engine karna sifatnya 'menipu'. Dan apabila ketahuan maka akan di black list.
Orang yang bermain di teknik ini tujuan utamanya tidak lain hanya ingin mengumpulkan dollar sebanyak mungkin dengan cara memasang adsense atau affiliate link di website mereka. Secara umum website yang menggunakan teknik ini memiliki konten (isi) yang sangat tidak memberi bermanfaat dan nilai tambah (value) kepada pengunjung.
Karna tujuan utamanya hanya ingin berharap agar pengunjung melakukan klik sebanyak mungkin terhadap adsense mereka. Dengan melakukan klik terhadap adsense ini maka secara otomatis dollar akan mengalir di account adsense milik mereka.
Pemain 'Black hat' menggunakan teknik yang sedikit 'culas'.
Maksudnya mereka akan bermain 'kucing-kucingan' dengan search engine (google,yahoo,msn dll), selama search engine belum mendeteksi website ini maka acap kali traffik yang mereka dapatkan cukup tinggi. Seringkali mereka berada pada posisi teratas pencarian search engine untuk 'keyword' tertentu.
Mereka punya teknik menjalankan cara ini agar mendapatkan traffik dan dollar yang melimpah yaitu bagaimana mendapatkan keyword yang mahal, memanipulasi meta tag, menggunakan software khusus sehinnga mampu membuat ratusan website dalam waktu singkat, dan berbagai macam teknik lainnya.
Dari pengalaman mereka yang bermain diteknik ini pada umumnya tidak akan bertahan lama, paling hanya sekitar 1 sampai 4 bulanan saja.Setelah ketahuan dari pihak search engine (google,yahoo, dll) maka website akan diblack list dan tidak akan terindex lagi oleh search ingine.
Biasanya setelah website mereka di de-index (black list) oleh search engine, mereka akan bikin website baru lagi dengan teknik yang sama, apabila di de-index lagi maka bikin website baru lagi, begitu seterusnya.
Bagaimana menurut anda, apakah ingin mendapatkan dollar dalam waktu cepat dengan teknik ini atau pengen cara yang aman aman saja?
