t really so? Is there nothing good in this presumed “Black Sheep” of the SEO community? Has it never helped? I beg to differ with some people here and would like to believe that there are a lot of things to learn from Black Hat SEO, for the better.
Black hat SEO vs. White Hat Seo
Something I want all my readers to note here is that Black Hat SEO, to me, is not keyword stuffing, spamming, hacking websites or creating backlinks in unethical ways. Rather, it is a kind of mindset, meant to be used in an ethical way.
There is a very thin line existing between these 2 genres of SEO, Black Hat and White Hat. In fact, tweak the White Hat SEO techniques a little and you would gain access to the killer tactics of the Black Hat SEO. And some of them are really worth learning, as most seo experts are of the opinion that several black hat techniques can be gladly used in a clean and ethical manner for acquiring results that truly deliver.
