Black Hat SEO

Black Hat SEO is about a more or less illegal (for google) technic, to boost a website into SERPs.

Besides classic Black Hat technics (Spamdexing, Cloacking, etc.), real Black hatters have a lot of imagination when they seek new ways to increase artificial popularity of a website..l. it's sometimes simply amazing!

Use of Black Hat SEO has a big inconvenient: being against Google rules, you may encounter big penalties (blacklist, sandbox), which is pretty normal because Black Hat is all about experimentation (always changing according to changes of Google, like SEO in general but a bit more). It is a bad idea to use Black Hat if you're ranking a website for someone else than you... with Whitehat SEO, you're always almost sure how your website is going to rank.

A couple of Black Hatters have a blog, which is a very interesting information source. This kind of information helps to understand the way Google works. Small bits of information on a fascinating world make us dream, us, Black Hat science ignorants.

To be Black Hatter, it's making proof of ingeniosity and originality in a very complex domain.

As conclusion, here is a Black Hat blogs list. For the moment, there are mostly french Black Hat blogs, but if you'd like to add some others (in any language), don't hesitate to subscribe the website to the directory, so it'll appear in this list below (or send me a mail).
