Black Hat SEO: What is it and Why You Need to Avoid it

The term white and black hat is reserved to hackers and hackers only , there are up front methods in SEO and behind the back ones ,I won't dive deep into this matter right now but what you stated is a regular regulation break case and not that serious of a matter to be declared as black or unethical ( trying to up the score artificially which is unlikely to work)
 
Blackhat SEO is good if you don't care about big boys like Google and others as if your focus is only for limited time then it works perfectly otherwise you will be banned soon. You may try Gray area in which is some legal and some illegal way to promote.
 
Google is evolving so rapidly. If it senses, unwanted or unethical backlinks, it might blacklist the site and it won't even appear on google web search. Instead of resorting to these petty practices, should try to improve the quality of the contents and growing the network traffic organically is the best solution in the long run.
 
When you are learning SEO, you will hear a lot of discussions on White Hat SEO and Black Hat SEO. In this article, I will analyze what exactly is Black Hat SEO. I will also give examples of Black Hat SEO that you need to avoid.
In simple terms, White Hat SEO is best SEO practices, in other words, White Hat SEO is legit SEO methods approved by search engines and other experts. Contrarily, Black Hat SEO is bad SEO practices, in other words Black Hat SEO is unethical and illegal SEO methods that are not approved by search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. Black Hat SEO, also called Grey Hat SEO sometimes, is artificial methods implemented on your site to improve your ranking on search result page. Here are some of the Black Hat SEO Strategies that you need to avoid.
Keyword Stuffing: Generally keywords on your content should be less than 5 percent. In other words, in an 1000 words article you can repet your keywords only 50 or less times.
Article Directories/Web Directories: In order to build backlinks, a lot of people start submitting their links on various web directories and article directories, this is also Black Hat Method. Article directories and web directories are referred to as link farm
PBN: PBN or Private Bog Network is a networks of blogs that are primarily created to build backlinks for your site. You should also avoid this.
Buying backlinks: When you pay someone to build backlinks for you, this is also Black Hat Method.
You are right. Gone are the days of building links for sites. The Google algorithms are becoming more high-tech everyday. This means that you should avoid all those risky black hat methods. They will eventually be caught and the penalties might be lasting. Sometimes it will tqake years for your site to recover.
 
Black Hat SEO is commonly used for short term result but can't really bring long-term good results, thus, it's very unreliable. When you want slow but sure optimization, only use the white hat strategies.
 
The sole reason you shouldn't mess with black hat SEO is that your site will get taken off google and you will not be found with regular methods. Gray SEO is acceptable, but black will destroy your site.
 
Black Hat SEO is generally dangerous for a website as it might make all other marketing efforts go wasted. If we want our strategy be effective and safe in the long run, we better stick with the White Hat.
