Black hat SEO can give short-term gains but carries high risk of penalties or deindexing. Long-term success comes from ethical strategies that focus on real value and user experience.

Use high quality backlinking via guest posts, niche forums, and social bookmarks; boost with social media sharing. Try tools like ahrefs or semrush to manage and track off page SEO efforts.
keyword stuffing (stuffing your webpage with keywords which makes the text looks like it was written for spiders not humans)
invisible text (using a CSS hidden DIV and/or font color to match the background color).
buying links could be considered black hat sometime
cloaking (the content presented to the search engine spider is different to that presented to the user's browser)
article spinning (rewriting existing articles, or parts of articles, and replacing elements to avoid being penalized in the search engine results pages for using duplicate content)
doorway pages (a “fake” page that the user will never see, but the search engines will)
subscribing to links farms (is a form of spamming the index of a search engine)

There’s no single magic trick, but combining a few techniques works well for me. Manual blog comments, web 2.0s, social profiles, and tiered link building still hold value if done properly. Also, indexing the links plays a big role. As for tools, GSA and Scrapebox are still useful when used carefully, but manual work brings more control nowadays.

Focus on quality over quantity in off-page SEO. Use guest posts, PR mentions, and citations. Tools like Semrush or Pitchbox help outreach, while authentic engagement builds long-term ranking power.

Don't overthink it. Skip automated link-building tools - they usually create junk links.
Focus on a fewer solid guest posts, relevant niche links, and real mentions where people actually talk about your topic. Fewer links from good sites will always beat lots of links from random ones.

I wouldn't recommend using automated software unless you're doing a "churn and burn" site, as those links get nuked pretty fast. For anything you want to keep alive for a bit, manual PBN links are the way to go. Just make sure the footprints are clean or Google will catch on.

And, if you do decide to pursue other ideas on the BH method list, think similarly about exploits or exceptions. If automated link tools "usually" create junk lists, think "well, when do they not make junk lists?" and figure out efficient ways to make or curate the links. Likewise, keyword stuffing can be done without detection if you put them in the image files (name, description). Or blog comments can be valuable, if you write relevant ones on sites with good authority, where the site closes comments quickly (thus keeping OBL low). PBN risks can be managed if you follow steps to lower detection, and so on.

Focus on white hat off page techniques like earning niche relevant backlinks guest posting on quality sites building citations, and promoting content through outreach and social channels.
I’d avoid automated software and instead prioritize manual relationship based link building for long-term results.

Focus on guest posts, niche edits, and a few contextual backlinks. Also use directories + profiles for diversity. No tool replaces real link.
