Is blackhat seo dead ? or almost dead!

[ThopHayt]

Man am I sick of tripping over spammy garbage threads like this. Seriously go search "seo dead" in the search bar here and you'll see this same dumb question/idea being tossed around since virtually the beginning of the forum.

No. No its not dead. Stop asking.

Not really, I can think of plenty of other ways to get 'sneaky' links but none are anywhere near as profitable/easy/scalable as pbns, I don't even bother with anything blackhat other than pbns and blog comments now, the comments are only because I'm constantly looking at sites in my niche anyway so may aswell.

Its not about whether blackhat will still 'work' to me, its if its more profitable than the whitehat alternative and in my opinion it won't be once pbns are done

Your entire premise if flawed. PBNs will never be "done," because companies buy old domains and re-purpose them for legitimate reasons. There's like 1000 ways to build PBNs, I personally have 5 completely different styles of networks.

You just really need to escape the box and quit thinking like a self-loathing defeatist.

I am going to have to say that SEO is dead, why the end of lat year I had a debt sucking attorney sue me in court. As retaliation, I found every legal case on the web in which he was a defendant (was sued) and every case on the web in which he was legally sanctioned, and every case on the web that he lost, and built links to them optimized to his name and his business name.

I spent three months building links. All to no avail, why each of the cases that I optimized to his name still ranks some in position from 1 to five of the terms they were optimized today. All of the links were built using GSA and used custom link lists built with Scrapebox. Those links started out on pages ten and later when I found them; some did not even appear under a search for his name or business. It was such a terrible waste of time and effort and failed because I placed the links on the first page for each term intended.

Why it was such a failure that the attorney in question sent me a letter requesting my services to bury the links; I threw the letter away.

SEO is dead, you should stop wasting money and listen to Matt Cutts.

Listen to me, suck it bitches! It's only front pages for Amazon, Yelp, Fox News and Pornhub.

No. SEO is dead because you do not understand how I wrote with irony. My guess is that you either did not graduate grade school, or that English is not a native language for you.

SEO is dead and this year it´s going to be the end of the world as we know it.

use with greater content bounce rate is much more imp

Everything still works, but the way it works has changed, you need to keep experimenting further. PBN has been working for years and will continue to work as long as it's you are not using your PBN to sell links.

Also, start working harder on your contents, good contents tend to rank for a lot of keywords automatically.

 

[Purush]

yes, it required more exp and more tracking

To me is weird that BLACKHAT SEO services are still working... or perhaps they don't.

The game changes, and those desiring to be successful adapt.

Remember, creating one single link by yourself for your own website is technically 'black hat,' in that you are imitating organic reception of your content.

Be creative, and don't rely soley on methods that have their roots in the past. What worked yesterday will always be replaced by something that works better tomorrow.

Except maybe Google; seems like it's here to stay.

If you do meh, expect meh results. Try harder OP, blackhat SEO is alive and kicking. (Or go back to flipping burgers and leave the blackhat SEO to us.)

Yes, BH SEO is dead if you're terrible at it. That's really all there is to it. If you know what you're doing, BH SEO is perfectly fine.
