Why it is difficult to write about black hat SEO 0
Well, the reasons are evident and everybody writing about SEO/practicing SEO in their right mind understands this. Reveal too much and you get:
1. A shitload of competition doing the same and rendering your trick useless for you.
2. Excessive exposure of a technique makes it too recognizeable and it’s not below the radar any more.
3. The technique gets over-abused to the point where it starts bothering search engines and their employees and they eventually (and in most cases very soon) work out a fix for the abused algo hole.
Most high profile SEOs, equally BH and WH, will tell you nothing really important, extremely effective and innovative is posted in public forums. It’s rather reading between the lines. Everybody mentioned this on before. Nothing important ever gets posted publicly, period. High profile people are not the kind who want extra exposure - they get enough of it anyway - so posting valluable stuff for extra publicity is out of question.
If so, what made DaveN mention on a public forum this way of getting past the sandbox?
