Black Hat Seo is against the guidelines of Search Engines..They following Over Optimization and Over Submissions..That's why Google never encourage this kind of all craps...They encourage only White Hat Seo...So you have to follow White Hat Seo otherwise you will penalize..

I try to stay away from anything blackhat, especially reciprocal linking. But, occasionally reciprocal links are unavoidable. For instance, such as when I'm posting on someone's forum (and leave a forum signature linking back to my forum) and they return the favor by joining/posting on my forum. If they leave a forum signature linking back to their own forum, it creates a reciprocal link. I guess a few of those are not so bad. Just shouldn't over do it.

Those cannot be counted as reciprocal linking, it is quite natural that if both the webmasters have counter forum, both will try to join and promote their forums in the signature it is obivious that the main aim is promoting site through signature linking. That is quite ok as much as I see it to.

Hello Friends
Black Hat SEO refers to the use of aggressive SEO strategies, techniques and tactics that focus only on search engines and not a human audience, and usually does not obey search engines rules. For example, keyword stuffing, invisible text and doorway pages.
Black Hat SEO provides fast results, but it is ultimately bad news for users. Google banned the use of these techniques...;)

Blackhat is unethical and can get you banned or delisted by the search engines. Copying content is blackhat, as is keyword stuffing or cloaking.

Blackhat is unethical and can get you banned or delisted by the search engines. Copying content is blackhat, as is keyword stuffing or cloaking.

The easiest way to avoid a Google penalty is by publishing content that helps the reader and getting good backlinks from related sites.

Hello Every One !!!!
Those can't be considered equal joining, it is truly characteristic that if both the webmasters have counter discussion, both will attempt to join and push their gatherings in the signature it is clear that the primary point is advertising webpage through mark interfacing. Dark Hat SEO furnishes quick results, yet it is eventually terrible news for clients. Google banned the utilization of these procedures.

According to the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) terminology, Black Hat SEO refers to the tactics, methods and ways which are against the search engine rules, moreover they only focus on search engines rather than human audience. Black Hat SEO can also be called as Unethical SEO, as it works on the methods which are banned or not accepted by the search engines.

Black hat SEO is not recommended as it is against the rules of search engines and it is not useful to the society, thats why we should concentrate on white hat method only.

Mathematically, Black hat SEO = WhiteHat ^ WhiteHat. It means excessive use of whitehat trick can result in blackhat. Now, how do you do excessive whitehat ? It is via some automation tool, and when you use it then it means you are using blackhat tool.

The thing is some new webmasters don't understand what is black hat and they make this mistakes, some gray hat SEO technique can be used by experienced SEO as well, so you should have clear understanding of this first.
