Interesting story, but how about upcomming companies or services?

A competitor using blck hat techniques will earn money from the beginning and the white hat maybe later (if he has enough money to exists after month of figthing the others)

Sure you need to the white hat techniques, but to jumpstart you need other plans than hoping that only organic traffic will do the job ;)

[rojocristal]

This is completely true. Thank you for the advices... I enjoy listening and watching your videos.

[FEARTHEWORST]

The background gives out a 3d effect and also headache!

[djpaisley]

Google is always looking to stop the white hat tricks...

#typo.. lol

[Andrik95]

[drumat5280]

Perfect subtitles again in 1:03:

Original: the other thing to bear in mind is that Google is always looking at how to stop the white hat tricks

Subtitles: the other thing to bear in mind is THE DEVIL is always looking at how to stop the white hat tricks

So Google = Devil?

Wow a Katamari reference. :P

[thaibui01]

This gave me the strength to make quality content. Those link farms get on my nerves.

[manfmnantucket]

I disagree with the assertion that blackhat sites are built to be temporary - my serps are dominated by spammers who have been around for years.

I also was an authority ste in a long-tail space before going commercial, but got totally snuffed by MayDay.

[bigal21110]

This is great video...I do have clients in crazy industries like payday loan industry where there is a lot of black hat and gray hat going on and it is very hard to compete with them..building authority is important and to hear it from Matt is even more important.

[seopodcast]

In my podcast we often talk about our job as SEO'ers is to provide a good experience to the google user. If a quality website is using black hat techniques will you always penalize or ban them?

[subrealms]

@mhaidarhanif I see, sorry :)

[mhaidarhanif]

@subrealms I see too, sorry :)

[surfvoucher]

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply our question! It completely makes sense, unfortunately the time needed to become an authority site in highly competitive keywords is frustrating and SEO/Google automatically becomes a secondary marketing strategy. Hopefully through time Google will become even better and faster at noticing black hat sites and taking them out.

[subrealms]

@mhaidarhanif There isn't such a thing as "illegal websites" for a search engine. This is a video about websites cheating for search engine rankings. Google is a search engine, not a censorship authority.

[mhaidarhanif]

@subrealms sorry. what I mean "illegal" was the site that using Black Hat SEO. [wrong word placement, just for shorten the words]

[Conceptskatemedia]

web hosting is one of the worst industries for black hat but you still seem to rank sites that are known to use black hat techniques (bluehost for example)??

[mhaidarhanif]

Unfortunately, Google still indexes the illegal websites...

[rahulxxx2000]

@mhaidarhanif its true but what can we do we are not the owner of google lol

[mhaidarhanif]

@TechieGeek1 @rahulxxx2000 both of you are true, no one wrong

[rahulxxx2000]

@mhaidarhanif one word for matt " the Quality guy "

[mhaidarhanif]

@rahulxxx2000 no, " the High Quality guy ". hey, even we're not own Google, but we can participate [but, how? I don't know :) ]

[rahulxxx2000]

@mhaidarhanif thats is the big question for most of people and i am one of them .i don't know how to send questions to matt

[mojo2601]

@rahulxxx2000 ever considered following matt on twitter or subscribing to his blog? every once in a while matt posts a link to google moderator for new questions

[mhaidarhanif]

@rahulxxx2000 you can contact him via direct E-Mail, webmaster forum, or webmaster group. But notice that, there are many questions for Matt.

[rahulxxx2000]

@mhaidarhanif so can i have the links to email & webmaster forum & webmaster group .it will difficult for me to search those sorry for bothering you sir .but this the final help i need from you .thanks for all your comments

[mhaidarhanif]

@rahulxxx2000 the group is now closed, moved to the help forum here [search for: Google Webmaster Forum] You also could ask him via his twitter or his blog. And will be answered if he notice your question. Because sometimes, Matt just answer the good question.

[rahulxxx2000]

But the big question is that how do you guys know which site is spamming or which one is white hate

[mvandemar]

I think it was a Freudian slip at 1:02 :)

[troglodyte3344]

the black cat shat in the white cats eye and the white cat said 'Cor blimey' the black cat said 'You silly old fool, you shouldnt have sat behind me!'

[ronstaufferjr]

I think he meant "Google is always looking at how to stop the BLACK hat tricks" at 1:07, not the other way around. :)
