Anyway, stuff google. It is possible to make money without them, you know. What matters, ultimately? Ranking? Pagerank? Linkbacks? Or targeted traffic and conversions? It's funny how people view google as gods - or global policemen. Answer this: is it their agenda to make the world a better place, or to make money for their shareholders? One thing about BH... it is "front line" education. This has pros and cons IMO. By putting yourself out there where it's crazy, you get a much more intense learning curve. But the down side is that you are often forced to trivialize your education into areas of insignificance. Anyway, just my random thoughts. You got another subscriber. :) This thread is great.

Who left the soapbox unattended ? Doug went all evangelical on you, XMCP. He actually compared going against Google TOS to risking ppl's lives by not adhering to building regulations ? Where will it end ? OK, OK, I have one for you: Practicing BH = flying a 747 full of women and children into a mountain. Google's TOS = your pre-determined safe flying route Google anti-spam team = flight controllers at the nearby airport. Shit man, get some help... Oh my goodness. Who left the soapbox unattended ?

They make me think outside the box, and I can employ some of their ideas in a “pearl gray hat” kind of way without being penalized or becoming the devils spawn, i.e. EVIL.

My brain had so much fun figuring out how the hell a random page was redirected to a viagra site when html wasn't allowed. Now I know what to beware, do you? @Doug

Why aren’t you willing to learn?
Are you afraid of the temptation?
You know… Ignorance is the first sign of stupidity.

Google's search algorithm makes them billions of dollars a year and they don't want you fucking with it. Google is constantly pushing you closer and closer to the cliff, and like sheep you obey every time google adds more and more rules. Paid links are just the start, google will slowly but surely phase you out and push you off the cliff. We black hat seo's stopped following google's rules… pushed off a cliff? Fuck that and the monopoly of google’s rules, we black hat’s are fucking ninja. Google is just as corrupt as us, why should their algorithm control who makes money on the internet? Most of the people who click on google’s ads in search results don’t even know they are fucking ads! See you in the underground once google makes you hit your breaking point if you survive the brainwashing in time. The only people who are going to survive are the underground and the webmasters who just focus on actually writing quality content and get blessed by the googlegods.
