As you know I have always had an interest in the art of Blackhat marketing.  Not that I approve of such marketing tactics or desire to become involved with their many techniques, I just always marvel at the ability of these individuals constantly beating the search engines.  Can you imagine the constant struggle between black hatters and the search engine spiders… a battle of epic proportions.

I recently stumbled upon a forum dedicated solely to those marketers who take part in blackhat marketing.  The forum is an excellent place for you to hang out and be a fly on the wall.  There are tons of interesting methods that iff toned down just a bit, could greatly and ethically help you both increase traffic to your blog and make some money along the way.

I’m sure many of you will disagree with anything that has to do with blackhat marketing, but how much do you actually know about it?  Have you researched it enough to develop your own opinion or are you just going along with the crowd?

The days of cloaking and keyword stuffing are long gone.  You may be surprised at some of the techniques these young guns are using to beat the search engines.  And I guarantee that you will have a better understanding at what it takes to rank well after spending just a few short minutes in this blackhat forum.

Have a problem with Blackhat marketing?  If so, tell me why.  I know my reasons… give me yours.

Good luck and much success.

The “$100 laptop” from the OLPC Foundation is in no way a “$100 laptop.” The latest price hike by the Foundation pushes the overall cost of each XO-1 machine up to $188, which is a fair amount higher than the $176 that the machine was said to cost back in May. On a per country basis, the laptops…
