A Blackhat Reading List

Add

Looking for some sources of information on black hat seo ? My brief list may should be helpful with a couple of tips thrown in.

Learn the latest outed hits..

Spamhuntress - shes a kook ( honestly who says “Spam my blog and I report your site to Google for banning. You’ve been warned!” to spammers ? ) out of Europe that fights web spam with a passion. I sometimes sometimes suspect she is a spammer herself thats just outing her competitors but who knows really. She features the latest and greatest techniques, sites, and spammers she’s discovered. You’ll get more recent stuff on here than you will anywhere else.

Strikepoint – A webcast out of Europe featuring DaveN and Mikkel. Most episodes feature DaveN outing someone thats doing something interesting so it makes for a good listen. Mikkel and Dave let slip much more in this than they do in any other place they publicly write on the web and they are pretty funny to boot. Seriously don’t miss it.

Blackhat Discussion for Beginners

Syndk8 - is a forum for blackhats that is fairly active. You won’t get the latest and greatest hits out of this but it will give you the basics. Its also great for making relationships with others, programmers are particularly appreciated here [ in fact I honestly don't know how you can be a black hat without being a programmer ]. As with all forums don’t waste your time too much on them after a certain point, the advanced answers you seek won’t be found there but from friends.

PHP - Honestly learn to program php ( or perl ) and at least try to look up you own god damned answers first. Then go grab a copy of the Orielly books “Programming PHP” and “The PHP Cookbook” to complete your primer.

Wastes of Time

SeoBlackhat.com – Complete waste of time to read in my opinion if your looking for black hat news. Mostly rehashing mainstream search news on a blog with very annoying colors. Comment shouldn’t be taken as a dig at Quadzilla personally, the blog simply sucks. Great domain name name though kudos on the branding.

But The list is so short!

The great thing about black hat is you don’t have as many people running around claiming they know wtf they are doing. So that makes for a short list with the best information coming from people outing others. So how do you get the good information ? Make friends.. make some tools.. and keep reading the new posts from whiners as there’s lots of them looking at stuff and often they give away the best info for free.
