Black Hat SEO???

[sam09]

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?

I definitely think it works, but yes, only for a short time. Just like you've eluded to it is useful if you're in a short term market, but no good for an established site owner

I would not touch nor recommend Black Hat SEO at all..... Why? If caught, the site that uses Black Hat SEO will be punished by Google by not appearing on SERPs. That is a HUGE price to pay in this market.

Using black hat method your site will rank on first page in just a month on major search,...but in a short term only because the method that used is not acceptable on Google guidelines.

By far, the majority of SEO services use grey hat to black hat techniques, although they call it something else.

The white hat SEO service is a rare breed indeed.
