I don't think black hat SEO will go away completely, but with Google's increasingly strict rules, it's becoming increasingly risky and less effective in the long run. Sustainable results are now achieved primarily through high-quality, user-focused content and smart SEO practices.
 
Not at all. It will always exist, especially in niches where there's a lot of profit to be made such as casino and finance.
If you only knew what happened in these niches from a black hat perspective you wouldn't have to ask :D
 
As long as people use google and google stays a search engine, blackhats will keep going lol. If there's money to be made - someone will figure out a way to make it.

Google has been deindexing sites, AI or otherwise, for years. You know what happens? Several other sites get put up to replace the deindexed ones. Their approach is whack-a-mole at best. This is from someone who was scraping and markov-ing SERPs to build spam sites a few months after Adsense was released in 2003. Limited lifespan of sites is part of the model.
 
Google is deindexing blogs or websites that it seems are not useful to the search. Same content as other websites, not providing anything new from other websites. Such results are being removed from google.
 
real blackhats aren't scared of google ;)
 
It’s becoming harder for black hat SEO to succeed long-term. Google's AI-driven updates are now very effective at detecting and penalizing manipulative tactics. While new methods will always emerge, the risks of being de-indexed or losing all progress outweigh the potential short-term gains.
 
blackhat ain’t going obsolete, it’s just shifting lanes. ai spam wave got slaughtered, but bh still breathing in cloaked ads, hacked links, expired domains. tools change, angles change. as long as serps run by algo, folks will probe edges.
 
It's important to note that these techniques are increasingly
penalized by 2025's smart AI systems. In fact, the Google
Algorithm update for July 2025 frowns upon black hat SEO tactics,
including paid links and keyword stuffing

blackhat methods become less effective as the search engines improve and promote good, useable content

Google’s crackdowns hit low-effort AI spam hardest, but blackhat has never been static. What dies are the lazy patterns; what survives are the adaptive methods that slip under the radar. It won’t be obsolete, just narrower, riskier, and reserved for those willing to reinvent constantly.
 
Google itself is a black hat site. Black hat SEO won't go anywhere until some other search engine replaces Google. As long as Google is there, it'll keep ranking sites for backlink profile and webmasters resort to black hat tactics.
 
Google is always going to keep fighting low-effort spam, but blackhat won’t just disappear. Each time they roll out stricter updates, new loopholes and workarounds appear. It doesn’t mean it’s risk-free, but saying it will become obsolete isn’t realistic. It will keep shifting forms, and those who adapt fast usually stay ahead.
 
Its endless cat & mouse game.
I think its all about blackhat looking like greyhat or whitehat.
 
I don't think it's that simple. Black hat methods have been dying and reviving for 20 years. The methods have changed, but people are still looking for workarounds.

Everything evolves. Previously, people spammed links, but now they have learned to do it more subtly. Are PBNs dead? No, they have simply become better at disguising themselves. Have doorway pages stopped working? However, AI farms with more or less readable content have appeared.

But here's what is definitely happening: the barrier to entry is growing.
 
Blackhat SEO won’t become obsolete, it will just evolve with every Google update. It’s always been a cat-and-mouse game.
 
No it will not go absolite . It will just change the form in something new but blackhat practices will not go away that easy
