Blackhat SEO + Adwords

Has anyone tried this? I'm trying to get as much traffic as possible to my website so I want to utilise PPC but I use a few PBNs to rank my site first. Has anyone used Adwords and blackhat techniques and not been killed for it?

I also would like to know because I am using Adwords. Will I get penalized if I start doing Blackhat SEO?

Its 50/50.

The types of links you toss at your website should have no effect on your PPC campaign. So long as your website and landing page comply with Adwords' TOS, you should be fine.

like zwielicht said: there is no direct connection between a ppc campaign and bh seo.
we do run a big ppc campaign as well an never had any trouble.

If I were you, I would not use Adwords if I'm using a PBN.

You have to remember that your number one job in maintaining a PBN is to avoid any sort of footprints.

If you drive traffic using Adwords, Google might spider your target website and this might lead back to your PBN.

I know I sound paranoid here but never underestimate the kinds of signals Google picks up on.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who try building PBNs, often do so in a sloppy way.

Somehow, someway, they overlook some important detail and Google picks up on that.

You don't want to find out the hardest way possible.

You don't want to lose your target site.

Either you do only PBN or you do PPC.

I would not mix the two.
