First off, if you have not beeing using blackhat search engine optimization methods than you are doing SEO all wrong.  Second, you may have the wrong idea of what blackhat is.  Most of the time when I talk to people who don't use blackhat seo, they were told by Matt Cutts or some other Google advocate that blackhat SEO is bad and is unethical or whatever garbage.  This is completely wrong.
Blackhat SEO is basically any SEO.  If you build links to your site, you are basically doing blackhat seo.  The thing is… You can't rank without doing blackhat SEO unless you have some huge marketing budget where you could somehow get links naturally. Cough…
Most of us don't have a huge marketing budget therefore almost anyone doing SEO is doing blackhat.  Even the major SEO companies doing SEO for big companies are using blackhat SEO.  So if you are building any links to your site, you too are part of the shady, unethical black hat seo underground club (joking if you didn't catch my drift).
When I think of blackhat I think of using automated programs.  Basically building tons of links to manipulate the search engines.  I mean, we are all trying to manipulate the search engines.  This is Google's game and by doing SEO, we need to figure out a way to win the game.  We can go the route of doing nothing, or do blackhat and build links so we can eat, pay rent and do fun things.  I choose the latter of the two.
Blackhat seo does not have to do with scamming anyone or doing anything unethical and if you disagree I think you should leave my blog right now (this is not a joke).
 
Why Do Blackhat?
That is like saying why build links.  We do blackhat so we can rank.  WIthout blackhat or building links, we won't be ranking.  Really this question is kinda dumb, don't know why I even added it.  But for those of you scared to move over to the dark site, I will explain exactly how we build links in other posts.
 
Blackhat SEO Tools
There are many blackhat tools on the market which will basically automate the process of building backlinks.  When doing blackhat seo, you need to realize that the whole idea is to automate as much of the backlinking process as possible.  THe more we can automate it, the better!  Some may disagree with me on this but for those on a budget, automating your backlinking is very essential.  I use a completely automated system which does all the backlinking for me on all my sites.  I do not even own an SEO tool and when you get to this point, you will never want to own a blackhat tool.  But basically this system combines tons of differnet tools so you can get all types of different link sources.  This also works well for using the funnel method which I explain in another post.
 
What Are The Risks In Doing Blackhat?
There are definitely risks in doing blackhat but there are risks in doing any SEO.  Once you build a backlink to your site, you are essentially violating Google's TOS and you could get penalized no matter what.  That is why you need to spread out your risk and build multiple sites and not just focus on one site.  Google does updates all the time and even the cleanest "white hat" sites even get hit.  These risks are there but that is why SEO is so cost effective.  Without the risks, everyone would be doing it and everyone would be making money.  
 
Dan's Funnel Method Using BlackHat
Like I mentioned earlier and in other posts, the funnel method is so effective because it minimizes risks while increasing your traffic.  With Google doing more updates and penalizing more and more sites, by focusing on one site or a money site is completely gone.  I see people still doing this and eventually they will wake up one day with a site that is completely wiped out from the search engines.
So start creating more sites and start spreading your risk across a huge network of sites.  You can do this in the same niche or different niches.  It's really up to you.
