I need Black Hat Examples

[BCutrer]

So I need a little help. I'm guest lecturing this week for a local college class on web design. We are going to be talking about Black Hat design for a little bit and things to avoid. I'd like to share some examples in the wild of old school tactics, keyword stuffing, cloaking, hidden text. Anyone have any good examples? If you don't want to share them publicly feel free to sent me a private message. I would like to give the students some interesting examples so they can visualize it. Thanks!

I have to make sure that I never dealt with Blackhat SEO before, but I mostly certainly enjoy reading the posts on Blackhat SEO around holidays and special events like Halloween. I would recommend reading such articles.

In my opinion there isn't an exact delimiter between what we call "good" and "bad", respectively "white hat" - "black hat".

Almost anything has to do with deliberate manipulation of search engine indexes.

Apart from the few examples you mentioned, these days, as you can see, many "specialists" will promise "guaranteed #1" with:

A. These are design related

Meta-tag stuffingDoorway pages
Phishing pages
Malitious codesScraper sitesArticle spinning
Interlinked Sites
URL Redirects

B. These are offsite techniques

Spam in blogsComment spamWiki spam
Private blog networksReferrer log spammingCookie stuffingPage hijackingLink farmsSybil attack

Hope it helps,

Hey Baldea,

I wasn't asking What black hat is, I was asking for specific urls that have onsite examples to show the class.
