The Secret of Black Hat SEO strategy

The commonly used term for bad SEO strategies is the "White Hat" SEO strategy, in contrast to "Black Hat" SEO, which uses the ethical way to optimize a website so as to achieve a better ranking position. Take a look at what methods SEO companies are using, promising your business 1# results immediately. This article will help you understand the various "bad" methods, the so-called "black hat" techniques — and yes maybe there's a bit of magic involved in it.

Is your SEO effort stalled when everyone else seems to be getting results? Maybe it's time to take some tips from guys who know the limits of optimization and the benefits of playing in gray areas. So let's take a look at how the black hat does to get traffic:

1. Go for a long tail - Black hats do this because it's easy to rank for 4,5 or even 6 keyword searches that have no direct competition to rank for a search phrase that has hundreds of millions of results.

Of course, spam sites have the advantage of a large number of pages, so even if that page brings only one visitor per month, it's still enough -- spam sites are created in just a few hours and usually have 30,000 or more pages.

But if you keep writing every day (or more than once a day), it will add up. This brings us to the next level:

2. Money is in the archive - while some visitors will first see the main page of your site, many more will first see one of the inside pages because these will come for specific, long-tail searches.

With each page you publish, you increase your chances that at least one more visitor will find your site, and more importantly, if it's a good resource, it will pay for itself by getting backlinks from a lot of different sites that will diversify your inbound link profile.

3. Small degree of separation - This is one of the best methods for writing new content: if you have one page on a particular topic, write another one that has some differences.

For example, you've just written an article on how to promote a site in Digg – now write another on how to promote your site on Del.icio.us and another on how to promote your site on Slashdot (of course, don't just change the name and URLs, you actually need to change the article a little bit).

Please understand this: if you have a 30-page site, don't makeup 10 pages that are very similar to each other. By doing so you will definitely make a duplicate content filter trip.

4. Make spam comments but without spam - let's face it: The black hat is synonymous with spammers. They rely on comments and guestbook spamming to index their huge websites, and this proves one thing that I've tested and proven to be true: even "no-follow" links have the ability to rank and index your site, although most optimists say they're useless.

What to do: Find 10 or 15 blogs on the same topic as your site and start contributing with valuable information. Don't spam, don't say "good blog!" Just get a link every time! You must participate.

5. Create (valid) doorway pages - this is a great method for creating links and actually getting customers when your site is in the sandbox or not ranking very well.

A very good example is Squidoo.com: It's a very powerful site with a lot of link juices that allow you to create pages on almost any topic. Start by creating 10 or 12 pages with unique content on different topics that match your site, and then put different links to your site on the Squidoo pages you create.

Even better, you can actually create a very large network of pages that you can logically structure as a homepage with categories and product pages—it's allowed, encouraged, and ultimately very good for you.

Now think of the other powerful sites where you can put your content: Blogger, Google Base, WordPress.com, Janga, Livespace, and more.

6. Blog and Ping - This is a very simple and yet very good method to get a quick index. Each time you write a new article, go to Pingoat.com, enter the name and URL of the article, and ping. You will be notified at any time!

Always remember that the strategies mentioned above are truly unethical ways for search engines to optimize your website. Using "Black Hat" SEO can add your website to the blacklist of most search engines and has the opposite effect. And it doesn't stop for large companies Many have already tried to use "Black Hat" SEO techniques and were banned. Imagine - those who type the banned brand name or keywords associated with it and they will not only find the website and enjoy their offer on your competitor's website.

Apply these SEO technique now and just watch your rankings improve and traffic increase!
