anything immoral or illegal about black hat?

@idenguy: ok, that is good enough to go into my forum sig, dr phil quote on blackhat, i like ;)
 
thanks for the reply guys.

I dont want gray hat, I want to jump in completely, so thus my research into blackhat.

I have this website for 8 months now: softmall.org

and have been using white hat methods for 8 months, but i have not made a single sale.

Im just tired now and would like some sales.

portlillo understood my question, i wanted income from a place that will allow me to sleep at night :D (rep added)


so the general reply that I get is that it is completely legal and also moral. is that right?

I got this reply from another black hat user from another forum, I'll quote it here:

Getting sales is so much more than just traffic. Your site, product, and the 5 things that a website needs to successfully sell a product need to be involved. It took one of my money sites today years to get off the ground now it makes almost 6 figures a month and I can create new sites in a month or so that will sell a few hundred to few thousand once I eventually learned its a time thing not just traffic. Feel free to give me a rep point if you found that helpful.
 
Morals are based on an individual values & most "real" blackhat involves computer crimes (for example http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/fbi-takes-out-14m-dns-malware-operation )

Goos luck!

Bump'd a 3 years old thread, eh?
 
theres no way to be part time in this business, you have to be "balls to the wall" if you know what I mean, otherwise you are wasting your time.

very true, i am new to this and wasnt spending enough time on this, what a waste

hope it is easier after the learning curve but damn does it suck in the begining!!!
 
Black hat doesn't have to be immoral at al.

Some of my websitess have the best information for certain keywords. Yet there weren't ranking number 1. Now they do. Win-win situation.
 
Well it depends......... Sometimes I feel bad about spaming forums/article directories and blogs with posts that have nothing to do with the subjects they are on. For example spaming dog training forum with viagra releated articles you get the idea....

But than again life is a bitch so fuck it. Google killed profiles so now forum owners needs to deal with posts....
 
Well, I haven't seen anyone go to jail for link building. So no, it's not illegal.. yet.
