A List of Blackhat Techniques...

[Suzain]

Hi There...

Black hat SEO is unethical practice as well as a short-term solution to a long-lasting problem of a website for which a site runs the risk of being penalized by the search engines.
List of some common black hat techniques are :

• Keyword Stuffing
• Invisible Text
• Doorway Pages
• Artificial Traffic
• Link Farms
• Duplicate contents

Your expert views are solicited….

(Plus no one will want to do business with a site that has gibberish text on it).

Since traffic doesn't affect rankings this obviously can't be a black hat technique. (Search engines have no way of knowing how much traffic a site has. Before you go and say Google has Google Analytics they don't have it on every single website which means it is useless for ranking pages).

Depending on the tactics used, you can also get sued, not to mention have your online reputation damaged irreparably.

It worries me when someone advertises as professional SEO company and cannot get their own site in order.

Meta tags all wrong, using table layout, too much layout code on page, etc.

The title tag is not the first, there are stop words in the title and description, no keyword meta tag, there is a good chance that Se's won't like the keyword frequency in the alt tags. Too many.

I do like the sitemap layout though. A lot easier to navigate than a lot of others seen lately.

That will do for the time being.

Hi Suzain,

Not to sound mean-spirited but I would never sign up for your plans when I read a title tag like this:

"Affordable Tips and Service 'Form' Specialists"

You should proofread your site and employ another person to proofread it and with any luck, you'll find your mistakes. This one just happened to seem huge IMO. Even copy and pasting text into a word-processor or other office app with spellcheck won't catch them all - they won't catch those words with multiple spellings such as the above example.

I've often wondered if avg. users (after work and bored - occasionally shop online - researchers) look at a site and have these errors literaly leap off the page at them or if they are totally unaware. I suppose most are unaware, but your prospective clients (webmasters, companies seeking SEO) probably zero in on that stuff which means NO SALE!

Your own website contains the keyword "Domain" 16 times in the meta tags, isnt that classed as stuffing?

No. Since meta tags aren't used for ranking it doesn't matter. Although if that is their description tag they are wasting an opportunity to possibly get a good description of their pages into the SERPs.

Hi Steime
