Thread: Which techniques are called Black hat techniques??

Dear friends, today only i saw one post in which one website has been penalized for black hat. But i don't know what techniques are called black hat techniques. And i don't want to fall into such type of trouble.

I wish i could get answer to my question...
Thanks in Advance...

Black hat is simply manipulating the search engine results pages using a number of methods including:
- hidden text and hidden links;
- cloaking - described above as showing one page version to engines and another version to real users;
- taking part in link schemes, especially automated;
- using doorway pages, i.e. pages built only to set up a cookie on user's computer

Black Hat are techniques that meet the qualification of being a spammer based on webmaster guidelines.

Anything by which you are trying to trick the search engines to manipulate their ranking system is black hat.
