The use of Black Hat SEO methods can often seem tempting. Why not? After all, Black Hat SEO methods get results in a much shorter period of time than White Hat SEO methods do.
Google's Algorithm's Change On A Regular Basis.
The only reason the algorithm's change is to catch out those that are using black hat seo tactics. If you are using white hat SEO methods then you need not loose sleep over this. Your positions on the search engine rankings will be safe and secure, while those that use black hat seo tactics get caught out and as a result either get penalized or completely removed from the search results.
So yes, getting immediate results does sound tempting and the rewards will be favoritable but it will only be short lived as Black Hat SEO tactics never go by unnoticed for too long. White Hat SEO methods show results over a period of time but at the same time, those websites run no risks of getting banned or penalized by Google. Let me also add that SEO is mean to be long term as there are no overnight successes when it comes to Search Engines rankings. As with most things in life, success comes with time.
One should always be aware of the methods used by black hat seo's as there are a wide variety of methods used. Some well known and some lesser known methods and tactics. You can read an article on my blog about the methods used by black hat seo tactics.
