Why This Recipe Works

“Black hat SEO” refers to a set of practices that are used to increase a site or page’s rank in search engines through means that violate the search engines’ terms of service.

Ingredients

  • One ethically-borderline marketer
  • A website
  • Some PBNs (private blog networks used in paid link-building schemes)

Steps

  1. Have a website.
  2. Find and exploit a “flaw” in the search engine system that allows you to rank with relative ease.
  3. Make a wish that you don’t get your website taken down with a manual action.
