Welcome to BlackHatWorld

[Diamond Damien]

I've gone through all the rules, but I'm still confused that where I can post regularly, I've posted some content randomly and it was removed by the respected moderators, how and where i can start posting as a newbie?

Reading the welcome pm I sent you on sign up will guide you to this thread in the newbie guide which will explain all https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a-list-of-sections-with-restrictions.1051614/

Take a good read of all the threads here it's a great resource from @Zwielicht https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/s...ter-list-of-all-newbie-guide-threads.1389081/

Marketplace sellers are not necessarily more trustworthy than Jr. VIP, so there's no insurance there.

If you're worried about being scammed, then we highly recommend reading our "avoiding scams" thread here:

Thank you for the detailed guide on BHW. It was incredibly clear and easy to follow, making it a great resource for me to learn from.

I'm excited to dive deeper into the Black Hat World community and explore all the valuable information and resources available.

Looking forward to engaging in discussions, learning from experienced members, and contributing to the community. BHW seems like an amazing platform for knowledge-sharing and networking.

Thank you once again for providing such a comprehensive guide. I can't wait to start my journey on BHW and expand my skills and understanding in various areas.

Best regards,

I really appreciate the guide, it's really helpful for we Newbies

 

[EduardoJ]

Good structure and infos! Thanks I will keep that in mind.

 

[JMercuria]

Great overview and info - I'm learning a lot from this!

Want to better understand when it's possible to access the Marketplace. The guide mentions 60 days communicating with other members if you want to access the Marketplace. How should this be interpretated? Hope someone knows.

Your account age, from the date you join, needs to be 60 days old to purchase Jr. VIP membership. Your account is older than 60 days, but you also need 100 posts on your account (the "message" count you see in your stats).

If you want to skip the post count requirement, you can purchase a marketplace seller membership here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/account/upgrades

2.0 Update! ​

If you’ve been on this site for more than five minutes, you might have noticed that BlackHatWorld is massive. The forum gets thousands of posts every day, from users across the globe, so it literally never sleeps. Your first few visits can be pretty intimidating, so where should you start?

First things first. We have rules. They are very simple, but make sure you know them or you could find yourself getting slapped down without realising you’ve done anything wrong.

Read the rules.

Have you read them? Come on, at least familiarise yourself with this summary of the rules. This stuff is important.

Ok, so how do you go about finding anything in this huge community? Although the forum is vast, it’s made up of lots of small chunks, and as long as you know what you’re looking for (even roughly) you will be fine.

Let’s break it down. There’s a menu across the top of the site. You won’t need most of these options while you’re finding your feet, but the Forums button is essential.

This shows you all of the different sub-categories within each part of the website so you can start reading around on the topics that interest you.

Down the left-hand side of the site, you’ll notice five sections:

Main Menu This is where the conversations happen and it’s where you will need to spend 60 days communicating with other members if you want to access the Marketplace.

View attachment 137987

Marketplace This is where you will eventually be able to buy and sell products, services and packages. While you’re a newbie, have a read around and see what kind of things are on offer and what we allow in Marketplace threads.

View attachment 137988

Making Money That’s what we’re all here for, right? Apart from meeting awesome, like-minded people, obvs. Make sure you’ve read those rules before you start stumbling about in these threads.

BlackHatWorld This is our social area. Say hi, have a chat, let us know how we’re doing… oh and check out The Dispute Resolution section to see who you should be avoiding.

View attachment 137990

Other This snazzily titled section is your go-to spot for, well, anything that doesn’t fit into the above. (We all know what Other means, right?)

View attachment 137991

We also have VIP Forums for the days on the horizon when you’ve found your feet, contributed some awesome posts and stuck around long enough to know what’s what and earn your place among the Jr VIPs.

Oh and you might want to know about Ungagged. It’s the only honest, no-holds-barred IM conference out there. Come along and join us in London or Las Vegas to find out what’s really happening in the world of SEO - BHW members get a 15% discount on ticket prices!

From here, your best bet is to start reading. Have a look through the different forums and threads and then come back here to find out more about how things work around here.

Got it. Thanks for sharing this. Please bear with me as I am just trying to make sure I understand everything and not miss out on what I need to know especially for things I might need to do if ever I plan to go for such levels.
