Introducing - White Hatter Becomes Black Hatter

Welcome

Properly done blackhat looks 100% (or close) to whitehat and simply has more power, costs less and is being done by your PC while you're sleeping.

Now that the difference of white hat vs. black hat has been explained properly, we can all turn our back to google as a reply to their statement you quoted above.

Yes there is spam, but spam isn't the same thing as blackhat, just like using a 10kg hammer to repair a swiss watch isn't called watch repair. Spam is the result of a certain mentality/approach/strategy that people without skills use out of frustration and ... you guessed it ... their lack of skills.

Just a word of advice, as you just joined us: don't be the unskilled noob i mentioned above. Blackhat SEOs are hackers. I don't mean crackers but hackers. What I mean is to become a hacker you must think differently and bend shit in impossible ways. A hacker is not somebody who is evil or does bad things, he's something that improves things so he can achieve his goals easier, faster, cheaper, better. For that to happen, you need a serious skill set. If you don't have that, you're just a SEO wannabe, which is the equivalent of a script kiddie in the security world.
