Some news websites try to gain traffic by targeting banned keywords. These banned keywords are typically domain names of illegal live match streaming sites. The news websites use these keywords in their headlines to bring the content to the first page, gaining thousands of clicks within a day. Then, to avoid penalties, they redirect the content with a 301 redirect to a normal page. Do you think this blackhat tactic could harm the website?

Every blackhat tactic harms a site, the only question is when.

Whoever starts with the method first will get the most amount of traffic, then 1000+ people start to copy it and then Google resolves it.

The penalty can either deindexing the whole site or the category that you've been promoting.

thanks bro for answer
 
Stuff like that can get you a nice boost for a while, but Google usually figures it out sooner or later. When it does, you’ll see rankings tank or even parts of the site deindexed. It’s one of those tricks that works short term but never lasts.
 
Yeah, that trick is pure churn & burn. You’ll ride the wave for a bit, get clicks, maybe even bank if you monetize right — but long-term it’s a dead end. Once G’s filters catch on, you risk deindex or losing whole categories. If you’re cool with disposable sites, go for it. If it’s a brand asset, don’t touch it.

search engines and ad nets sniff this pattern: sudden spike for banned terms, then 301 to a different page = cloaking/bait. likely outcomes: manual action or algorithmic demote, loss of indexation, ad account bans, hosting or payment partners pulling support, and long-term trust loss that kills rankings. short-term clicks aren’t worth the permanent downside unless you make x8 for each.
