Did you mean 'black hat'?
- TMK 15y agoblack hat would be hacking websites and adding those links to he hacked websites. :)
- cheae 15y agoIt doesn't matter what we call that but Google sees that as a black hat technique
- petervandijck 15y agoNo, paying for text links that are not labeled as ads is black hat alright.
- dmc 15y agoNo, black hat would be more comment backlink blasts and such, using tools like scrapebox. I think it's called "white hat" more so than "black hat" because it's usually "safe" to do so. i.e., Google will not be able to automatically detect these links which are against their terms of service to penalize them.
