The relationship between SEO?s and SE? is just like the relationship between Blackjack card counters and the casinos. The casinos and law enforcement agree that card counting is not cheating, but if you get caught counting cards in a major casino you will be banned. The same thing applies to black-hat SEO. It is simply an act of using the system that the SEs created yet if you get caught ?using their system? to its maximum advantage you run the risk of getting banned. This is a risk that the card counters and the SEO takes and because the ?big boys? created the game they can decide who wins and who is not allowed to play.
For an average Joe-on-the-street to blow the whistle on someone for moving within the framework created by the ?system? is unconscionable. Why would you report someone for using the system as it was designed? Doing so would be the equivalent of making a personal decision that 45 MPH is as fast as you are comfortable driving then complaining about everyone that drives the speed limit.
If you see that others have achieved a level of success that you envy do not seek to undermine their success by reporting them as ?cheaters?. Do you homework and develop a better method for success. For as we all know, there are two ways to have the tallest building in town. One way is to build a taller building then your neighbors, and the other way is to tear all the other buildings down.
Learn to build.
You should create a website that has absolutely nothing on it but this post.
brilliant.
and to the rest of you....stop crying you fucking babies.
black hats make things totally unfair, they force everyone else to use black hat methods if we want to surpass them in the rankings and just keep making the se's make things harder and harder to get good listing because the black hats keep them changing the rules. you can blame the black hats for lack of se traffic for those who stick to the methods of content and backlinks.
Just out of curiosity, did you read this before you hit send?
To blame blackhat?s for your failure to rank is ridiculous. Blackhat SEO is the best thing to happen to this or any other industry that endeavors to do business online. Evaluate the activities of blackhats and build a better system so that everyone gets more relevant searches.
You are whining because you ?think? your keywords somehow belong to you and that you ?deserve? to be listed for some unknown internal reason.
The ONLY reason that SEs ban blackhat sites is because people like you drive them crazy crying because you got knocked off the tops spot for you favorite keywords. When is reality search engine results would not be 1/10 th are relevant as they are today were it not for people who use every available aspect of the system AS IT WAS CREATED by the SEs. You can call them blackhats of cheaters or Santa Claus, but the TRUTH is that some people use ALL that is available and others use only a portion? and then want to cry because they are not satisfied.
i will tell you the difference.. spammers send things.. getting listed on google doesnt require people to "send" anything
"black hats" make google work , if it didnt google would be broke. if the search engines showed perfect results, nobody would ever click on an ad, it wouldnt be profitable , black hat seo is what makes google work.. without blackhat google would be broke , close down and you wouldnt get a hit from google.. thank black hats for creating traffic for you
no but when someone clicks a link on google and gets something other than what they were searching for, isn't that pretty similar to someone clicking on a misleading subject title in an email? i don't really follow your logic on making google work. if people got what they were searching for they would be more likely to do it again and trust googles listings, be it paid or free. when people do searches, get misleading sites or redirected or popped all over the place, they are going to be less likely to trust any links on google. does the average surfer really know the difference between paid and free listing anyways?
i used to get lots of hits from google just updating my site. now i get almost nothing. why? because they have changed their methods so much due to being swamped by seo spammers that regular sites rarely stand a chance without a huge number of backlinks. i gave up trying to compete because its impossible to compete with people who use throw away domain, throw away sites. they don't care if they get banned. they just get a new one and do it all over again.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
Would you rather opperate TheHun, or opperate a black hat SEO opperation that makes the same amount of money?
The answer here is obvious. One has financial security, and the other is a Google algorithm update away from shit hitting the fan.
Truly talented webmasters have no need for black hat to make their money. I'll say this again... It is for the losers of this industry who can't make an honest buck. They will say ANYTHING to justify what they are doing no matter how stupid it sounds.
All the while, hard working webmasters creating sites that surfers actually like are pushed to page 10.

people can always justify what they do. your solution is that we have to employ black hat methods to compete. that doesn't seem right. i never cry to anyone about blackhats, except the odd post here when people are dicussing it. i would never report sites, i don't care enough to do so. it just pisses me off that such an un even playing field has been created. one that is basically impossible to compete with unless you have 1000's upon 1000's of backlinks and a long established site. if you are using methods that will get you banned in google, then you are abusing the system in my opinion. i once got banned for having keywords be the same color as the background of my site. i never got much in hits from google, it was just old shit from when that actually worked on aol, etc search engines but they banned me anyways. i very much doubt anyone complained about it.

When you fuck with peoples income you are asking for enough karma to fuck 3 generations of your family. Tell your great great grandkid it's your fault he lives in the ghetto.
one could easily argue that the black hat guys are fucking with the legit guy's incomes.
In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

I'm not sure why I'm even arguing with you, everyone should have stopped taking you seriously after that MySpace thread, but anyway:
1. Given long-term income potential, TheHun is a better choice to own, that's obvious. What were you trying to get at? SEO and Hun's tactics are at complete opposites of the marketing spectrum.
2. Hardworking does not mean smart or computer savvy. If I spent 4 years of my life studying computer science at university, why the fuck would I want to resort to the same tactics as your "hard working" webmasters when I can automate things?

Google is just like eBay in that they do not police their listings. In order to attract the gaze of the Google Eye you have to have been reported.
This post has convinced me to stop listening to anything that you say. You admit to using blackhat tech to help get hits from Google (albeit, old and unproductive tech, but you DID IT nonetheless). Then in the next breath you condemn people for using what is offered successfully.
I have one last question for you: If your same-colored keywords had made you say $10k would we be having this discussion?
Your statement reminds me of a story told about the late W.C Fields.
Mr. Fields was at a posh gathering in London and the subject turned to world?s oldest profession and Fields asked one of the more vocal female conversationalists, ?Would you have sex with me for a million pounds?? To which the female replied, ?Of course, who wouldn?t??. Fields then asked, ?Would you have sex with me for 10 pounds?? and the woman said, ?Of course not. What do you take me for a common whore?? Fields concludes with, ?Madam, we have already established that. Now we are negotiating price.?
