I need to drive traffic quickly to a new project. I know the safe white hat methods take months. Are there any black hat or gray hat methods working right now for fast traffic? I am willing to take some risks. What would you guys suggest?

parasite SEO, traffic coming from social media...this is what worked for me
 
Paid ads and partnerships are usually the fastest ways black hat methods can bring short spikes but are rarely reliable

If you need traffic fast, I'd stick with paid ads or active communities in your niche. Black hat might give a short term boost, but it's usually not worth the long term risk.

Fastest would be blackhat but it should be in limits. Because any website owner would like his website to be ranking good in long term.
 
Yeah, if you need traffic this week, I’d lean on rented attention instead of trying to force SEO from scratch. Parasite pages on Medium/LinkedIn/Tumblr, then push them with cheap paid social or niche groups, is still one of the faster gray hat lanes... blackhat can spike quicker, but it gets messy real fast if the project has any value. Expired domains and a few strong outbound placements can help too, just don’t build the whole thing on one trick."
 
I think fast traffic is possible but you need to know the risk before doing anything. A new site can get damaged very easily with wrong shortcuts.
 
Blackhat can bring quicker results that is why people use it but the main problem is they are not stable many sites get traffic fast and then can lose everything after sometime.
 
For quick traffic, I’d avoid relying on black hat methods since they can create bigger problems later. Paid ads, influencer mentions, niche communities, email outreach, and partnerships can bring faster results while still building something sustainable.
 
If the project is worth building, I'd avoid relying entirely on risky tactics, Fast traffic is nice, but consistent traffic is what keeps a site growing over time.
