Many White Hat (Anakin Skywalker) Webmasters are turning Black Hat (Darth Vader)
 

I am seeing more and more Gallery Submitters, TGP and MGP owners, free site and blog submitters turning black hat now, and using black hat tactics lately to market and survive in the business. They become the Darth Vader of the business and go into the dark side, because they can't make a living working legally anymore.

The funny part is that Affiliate programs don't care about it, and keep them as affiliates rather than closing down their accounts (like it was some years ago).

Are affiliate programs really that desperate for signups that they allow black hat tactics now? :upsidedow

yes, and always have been.

is this another bitching about supporting "only what a moron would call" illegal tubes again
or some real hardcore black hat stuff.

What difference would it make to the sponsor if the affiliate cheats google? The only risk to the sponsor is that the affiliate gets his site banned....Big deal.

I'm not talking about tubes nor google...

so so true!
