I’ve just watched a great video that I found on Twitter.

It’s really interesting to see the different views that Search Engine Optimisation and Web Professionals have on black hat SEO’s.  I’ve always been of the opinion that they are damaging to the industry and by using quick fire techniques to promote search engines they can make life difficult for White hat SEO’s who try to use organic growth techniques to promote a site.

However, there are a few comments on here that I find very interesting.  Words such as ‘Innovative’ and  ‘leading edge’ stand out – words I would never have associated with black hat SEO’s up until now.

I still strongly beleive that white hat SEO is the only way to go to achieve long term success, but its an eye opener to see that so many people in the industry actually think Black Hat is acceptable.

Ps. Flogging them. Ace!
