ive just been wondering what makes blackhat, blackhat. i get angry when people are looking for flag bots to kill their competitors, i even flame them, yet i find click fraud totally acceptable; while bass tracker would probably cancel my link pushes if he knew it. ripping videos and making them your own is terrible, but ripping articles is perfectly ok. and isnt blackhat cpa and click fraud the same pretty much? speaking of flaggers; flagging videos in the movie niche is SOP, but other niches are not. i have read that there are only two ways to get wealth; through crime "OR" improving the quality of other peoples lives. i believe that to be true. what do other folks think? am i thinking too much?
Thanks, I like this quote: "there are only two ways to get wealth; through crime "OR" improving the quality of other peoples lives." Blackhat relates to me by use in the old western movies. There is always a whitehat who has conservative practices and the villain aka the blackhat... that is how I explained it to my girlfriend at least

whitehat = not deceptive & not illegal blackhat = deceptive & not illegal fraud = deceptive & illegal i think that's the simplest way of putting it
