This technique isn't for everyone because the level of difficulty is higher and you need to develop an internet property that can monetize a large amount of traffic. If your internet property can generate revenue aside from using Google Adwords/Banners, then this technique is something you should look into.

Also, if you are concerned about getting blacklisted by Google, you should have at least two different domains that serve up basically the same content. One website will be for all black hat operations and the other one will be for all white hat operations. That way, you'll still be listed in Google.

What "good/new" black hat tactics do you know?

Phishing, viruses and hacking myspace are illegal, not black hat. There's a world of difference. The aforementioned techniques are not something people should be looking into. They're wrong, they're illegal, and they cause direct damage. That's not black hat.

Proper blackhat involves gaming the search engines, not phishing.

The few black hat techniques that I've been told about are never found or read about on public forums like this. They're not even found on blackhat seo type forums unless they're private forums kept closed to everyone. Even the technique I mentioned here recently that is probably 5 years old in the inner circles, I don't think I've ever seen put together explicitly in a public forum. And it's old enough that I don't think the leading blackhatters are likely to use it anymore.

In fact, from my very limited knowledge, real blackhatter SEO's don't come up with information and then share it. They develop their own techniques inhouse using their own ingenuity. It's that ingenuity that marks the difference between black hat and white hat (and it's also the reason I'm not a black hat). It's not 'learn and share', it's 'discover and implement on your own'.

There's a world of difference between blackhat SEO and black hacking. They're often confused, but they're not the same. Talking about them in the same sentence taints blackhat seo'ers unfairly.

The first rule of Black hat is you do not talk about Black hat.;)

Anyone who does blackhat SEO stuff.. doesn't share it. Why would you want more competition in your niches? Screw that.
