    Hi,

    I'm quite new here but I am not a newbie. :)

    Just notice that there are many guys who are saying "No" with Blackhat technique. I really don't know what the problem is.

    Just think about the farmers in 1900. What did they do to produce food. Yeah, by hand. So how about the farmers today? They use tools to do the same work.

    So if we can use tools to assist the link building, why do you think it's not recommended? Just to make sure you know how to do it the right way.

    For example, I am blasting my 10 year old domain with +100K backlinks using SB. That's totally fine. I don't get any penalty from Google, but the benefit is so huge after these backlinks got indexed. Will post the screen shot after I got 30 posts. :)

    Any ideas?

    Using tools to aid your efforts isnt blackhat, Its the way some people use those tools which can be deemed as blackhat. SB "can" be dangerous but on the other hand if used correctly it can be good. Personally i do not use it and wouldnt use it on any of my main sites but thats just my personal preference, I know some people have had a great results with it especially for long tail niche searches but i also know of people that have had their site penalised because of it.

    Thanks Admin for your input.
    For new sites, they can use a buffer site to blast out the stuff. However, in my case, I always choose the old domain and start building links directly to it.
    Here, there is no story for using SB, Xr, BMD or Senuk. Not sure if you guys are really seo experts. :)

    Using these methods is fine providing your backlink profile looks natural , 9 times out of 10 these "tools" provide low quality links because of what they are ( basically spamming tools ), When google actually gets around analysing sites backlinks if it see's loads of low quality link,no mixture of resources, authority and diversity of backlinks will in the end up worse off than a site that is built correctly with a good diverse backlink profile.

    Any self respecting "SEO company" which uses the likes of SB or Xr among others i would stay well clear of.

    Let me explain you with your example only (Farmer one)

    As you say that in 1900 farmer used their hand for producing food and now they are using tools. So here in order to make their works easy and faster they use Tools and Techniques which is Good and no harm or no wrong in using it. Thus this is not considered as Black Hat.

    But if Farmer uses High percentage or Heavy dose of Pest Killing medicines for crops in order to save them from pest then this is call Black Hat coz its proves very dangerous for us.

    Got it.

    Gray Hat SEO is all about risk versus reward. Some Gray Hat techniques may be frowned by search engines, but are not necessarily against their rules..

    I've heard so many people over the past 2 years saying, hey this blackhat technique or that blackhat technique is absolutely safe and Google doesn't penalize me for using it at all... now most of them are trying to get back on their feet after last year's Panda and the latest Penguin... You might wanna chew on that for a while... Which animal do you think is going to get you?
