Newbie

Hello, guys!

I’m totally new here, and I’m trying to get into SEO.

Start reading the guides and I really don’t understand most of the slang and terms.

May be you know where I can start to understand the very basics of Black Hat SEO

Thank you for attention, I’ll appreciate any answers!

Welcome!
Read the BHW rules first — it`ll save you from warnings while you learn.

Start with the basics, such as keywords, on-page SEO, backlinks, and indexing — it makes all the black hat stuff much easier to understand. Take your time learning the terminology so the guides don`t feel confusing.

BHW is a goldmine of information but for an absolute newbie, the info can get overwhelming. I'd suggest you to read blogs, watch YT videos and take help from chatgpt in learning the concepts and then come back here to learn more. Everything written here will then make a lot more sense to you.

If you’re just starting, it’s normal to feel confused by SEO terms and slang. A good first step is learning basic SEO concepts like keywords, backlinks, and content optimization. Once you understand the fundamentals, Black Hat SEO will make more sense. You can start by reading beginner SEO guides, watching YouTube tutorials, and joining discussions here to learn slowly. Don’t rush take it step by step, and things will become clearer over time.

Welcome man. BH SEO slang is confusing at first, everyone goes through that. Best way to learn is reading beginner threads here and checking a few YouTube explainers so the terms make sense. Hang around the Journeys section too, you’ll pick up the lingo fast just by seeing real examples. You’ll get it pretty quick.

Welcome to BHW! Don't worry, everyone here started exactly where you are now—feeling overwhelmed by the slang. The learning curve is steep, but manageable.

The absolute best place to start is right here in the forum: look for the "Sticky Threads" (the topics pinned at the top of the main SEO section). These stickies usually contain comprehensive, step-by-step guides and glossaries specifically designed to break down the core Black Hat concepts like PBNs, cloaking, and traffic generation into simple terms. Focus on understanding the 'why' (the underlying risk/reward) before diving into the 'how.'

Welcome to BHW!
Great to have you here.If you're new to SEO, don’t worry everyone starts somewhere.
Black Hat SEO has a lot of slang and technical terms,so feeling confused in the beginning is totally normal.

Getting into SEO is all but easy. Just dont relly fully on official guides and tutorial. If you want to succeed in SEO, you need alot of experience that will lead you to accept that succesfull SEO is 50% whitehat and other 50% are shady things that put you ahead of competition.
