Blackhat techniques work but they do for a limited time. Once google finds out what you're doing your site will get penalised at 99% chance.

This forum is all about blackhat seo and is doing good in terms of activity. So i guess, blackhat seo is also doing good for these users here.
 
Yes it is still working . Even those who used whitehat services in past have shifted to blackhat practises now because Google does not favor bloggers now.
 
You have to do it smartly. You should not leave any clues for Google, it should appear as organic link building.
 
If the tools you’re looking for are being improved according to the updates then they are gonna be fine to work with.

No those techniques will not work anymore. But you can use variations of new techniques and they can help you rank still in 2025 with blackhat.

I think there will always be people who find something that can be exploited and easily manipulated

But, the difference now is that Google can detect these much faster than years back
 
Blackhat SEO still works, but it’s evolving to keep up with Google’s smarter algorithms. The key is not to rely on outdated tactics like keyword stuffing or link farming but to focus on advanced strategies like:

Cloaking and IP Filtering: Properly filtering bots and search engine crawlers while showing optimized content to users.
Private Blog Networks (PBNs): Building strong, undetectable networks with high-quality, aged domains.
AI-Driven Content: Using AI tools for dynamic content generation that appears natural and unique.
Short-Term Campaigns: Running churn-and-burn campaigns with strategic timing to capitalize on rankings before penalties hit.

While these methods can bring fast results, the risks are higher than ever.

Blackhat SEO tactics may bring short-term gains, but they risk severe penalties that can damage a site's long-term credibility and rankings. It's a risky gamble in an era of smarter algorithms.

Which is why BH marketers commonly use the tactics for short term campaigns, then roll over into a different short term BH campaign to minimize detection by Google. No algorithm will ever be smart enough to catch up with smart short term scheduling that already factors it in. And as many WH marketers will relate, constant G updates are having the effect of destabilizing the "long-term credibility and rankings" of WH sites.

Bottom line is this has resulted in making all IM marketing efforts (BH or WH) a short term affair, where the efforts are subject to ongoing changes. You have to change BH tactics quickly to stay ahead of the algorithm, and you have to modify WH tactics to master the current update's algorithm before it changes again. This makes the whole BH-WH debate moot, as we are all short and medium termers now.

Blackhatseo is still very effective, but you can't rely on them for long-term.
 
If it was not working, this forum would not have been so much popular.

Those techniques which you mentioned do not work anymore. But other blackhat seo techniques do work.
