5 black hat SEO techniques to avoid at all costs


Black hat SEO is a set of practices that go against Google guidelines. They might help you increase your ranking in a short time, but will prove harmful in the long run. Those who are new to SEO may have trouble recognizing black hat practices, and can inadvertently fall under Google's axe. 

Here are the most prominent black hat SEO techniques you should steer clear from -

Keyword stuffing
Repeating the same keyword over and over in the same sentence or paragraph, rather than strategically placing it across your content.

Cloaking
Creating two separate versions of a web page, one for human visitors and one for search engine bots.

Duplicate content
Copying content from another website and posting it as it is (or just paraphrasing it a little) on your page.

Clickbait
Using clickbait titles to generate curiosity among users and directing them to an irrelevant page.

Link buying or link farming
Paying another website for obtaining backlinks, or using invisible text or links to hide it from human visitors, but visible to search engine bots.
