Ok, I am officially coming over to the dark side. I have given up on just whitehat'n.
But I am slammed with the options of so many tools to have in the blackhat arsenal, and finding out whats legit and whats not.
What would you suggest for me to get for promotion, site ranking, indexing, and such.

I'd recommend reading more so then getting something. Once you read on your topic of choice it will sort of simmer to the top what tools if any to get. Its better to have the preliminary info before hand anyways so you understand what a tool is doing instead of just grabbing a tool to do something you dont really understand under the concept of "as long as it works"

Thanks wiredmom
I have a pretty good understanding so far. I guess I am looking for the best of the best (Updated).
For example,
xrumer, pro-submitter, and the new one. What is the best and why?

I've seen xrumer give some pretty good results.

yeah xrumer is good
