Cheating:

To deceive by trickery; swindle: cheated customers by overcharging them for purchases.

To deprive by trickery; defraud: cheated them of their land.

To mislead; fool: illusions that cheat the eye.

To elude; escape: cheat death.
The black hat (or high risk) isn't really none of these... unless that site itself is about casino but sporting fishing ranks... then maybe I would agree.

3 websites all in the same industry, targeting the same markets and all selling the same products, and none have a real "traditional" competitive edge over the others:

#1. puts out a website but does nothing but design it

#2. white hat (low risk)

#3. Black hat (high risk)

Remove yourself from the equation (none are yours) - which site is the best site -- that MUST rank at the top?

Obviously the website that did nothing to get ahead -- right?

Business is business - nothing more, nothing less.
