Blackhat vs. Whitehat

In Response To: Traffic Hurricane (Mike Merisko)

TH is a smart page generator. Yes, they do work, but they are not welcome by Google and other search engines. Once they figure out that your pages are generated smart pages, they will ban your domain and your site's IP address.

There are many things you need to understand before you use this and other blackhat SEO techniques. Main one being that your site will be banned at some point.

Also, you should know that many people use these programs (TH is only one of many programs like it). Only a fool will use the templates provided by the software. You really need to change the templates up and do many other things in order to not get your domain banned that fast by google. YOu need ot disguise it as best you can from google as long as you can. But in the longrun, you will still get banned.

Never use TH or any other smartpage generator on a domain you value and never point a domain you value to a site generated by a smartpage generator. Sites that link to smartpages will be banned or penalized when the smartpage site is banned. On the other hand, you can link to a valued site from a smartpage site without risk of geting the valued domian banned.

That is a major point. Why? because this is exactly how people use smartpage sites, to generate traffic to a main, valued site. they know they will eventually get the smartpage site banned. That's OK. Just register another domain and put up a new smartpage site and start all over.

If you are engaging in blackhat SEO you need to understand that you will always be on the run because sites will get banned and you have to put up another one and hope it does as well as the last and sends traffic to the main site like your last one did.

Blackhat SEO isn't illegal but it is considered unfair and unethical. Whitehat SEOers will report any smartpage sites they find to google and google will ban you. So not only do you have google working against you but you also have whitehatters working against you.

Blackhat SEO is a full time job. However, on a positive not for BH, I find that BH SEO is a lot more effective than WH SEO simply because you can know everything and anything about SEO and still never get a good ranking using WH methods. With BH methods, you seem to always get mediocre results at the very least. But there is a toss up.

I don't have a problem with balckhatters. I have done it myself in the past. But I found that for me, whitehat was a better option. For others, they love the thrill of BH and the challenges it brings. Some people just like to wear a black hat, I guess.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
