Black Hat SEO: What Does It Know?


The temptation to give in to Black Hat SEO sirens is sometimes great for e-tailers and marketers who pursue ambitious goals. If the results can be at the rendezvous - at least on an ad hoc basis - adopting this type of strategy is not without risk. Discover this concept, its methods, its benefits as well as the dangers it implies.





The concept of Black Hat SEO


instructions issued by Google, engine responsible for the bulk of organic web traffic in Europe, are behind this expression. Webmarketers who tend to respect these famous "Guidelines" are considered professionals in the white hat, examples that are opposed to people who break the rules and share a common point: their goal is first and foremost to please the engines in order to see the pages of their site climb up the rankings. A comprehensive tutorial, presenting unique content, naturally shared on social networks and forums, is the illustration of a work White Hat usually valued by the engine. Conversely, a botched subject, which only partially answers the problem of a user and was created only to generate a backlink to another site, is the typical approach that laments and penalizes Google. This being so, there are a multitude of situations that do not correspond to these two frames. For example, a page load that is too long due to the lack of caching or the acquisition of many never optimized links that will not penalize the site to which they point but will not improve its popularity either. Moreover, it is obvious to stigmatize a technique that is of no interest as such for a user, like the low-quality pages of a blog network. However, if it allows an attractive online store to exceed an e-commerce site that was primarily leading the results through an aggressive netlinking, should we be moved? The end justifies the means ... are probably some webmasters.


Black Hat SEO: the methods and their benefits

The contents


The publication of texts aimed only at improving the positioning of a site is one of the actions favored by supporters of Black Hat SEO. It is for example of spinned contents which are substantially similar to each other and do not bring added value since a single version generally makes it possible to respond to the request issued by the user of a search engine. The creation of a network of sites powered by Splog combines low quality texts with netlinking which has no real interest for the user. The stuffing of keywords and the duplication of contents (likely to be copied on another site) are part of the easy techniques to implement. The first has no impact, the second can work in some cases as we will discuss later. The multiplication of tags on a CMS like WordPress is also similar to a Black Hat SEO action in the sense that the automatically created pages generally do not have much since they compile extracts of articles.


Technical parameters


To try to deceive the engines to improve the organic visibility of its site, webmasters implement cloaking. It is a question of presenting for one and the same page two distinct contents, according to the targeted target. A first version is revealed to search engine robots, often over-optimized and stuffed with keywords related to the activity that we practice, a second version is offered to Internet users. The misuse of redirects is also part of the technical possibilities solicited by webmasters to manipulate the results of Google and other engines. It is possible in particular to carry out a transfer of popularity while preserving its main site (the one by which one carries out conversions) with the redirection 301. This step requires the purchase of old domain names which already benefit from quality inbound links .

The links

From the neophyte to the passionate autodidact through the creative developer: the acquisition of links in order to artificially increase the popularity of a site interests very different audiences. If obtaining backlinks on blogs already heavily used by spam does not help to improve the positioning, the discovery of "spots" (places) where to put a contextualized link on an address whose Metrics stand out positively (Trust flow in particular) can radically impact visibility on the engines. Even if the backlink in question - found for example on a forum or social network with high notoriety (such as a .gov extension).
