    While black hat SEO is not illegal, it does violate webmaster guidelines set out by search engines. In other words, it's still against the rules. This means if you engage in black hat SEO, you must be willing to get hit with a nasty penalty as punishment.

    Do Old Black Hat SEO Techniques Still Work in 2020? Step away from that cliff edge unless you want to fall into the deindexed abyss. Black Hat SEO techniques and practices can hurt not only your site's traffic but also your business's credibility. Don't do it - really, don't.

    The use of SEO techniques that try to fool or deceive Google, also known as 'black hat', are illegal and can lead to your site losing its page rank or being removed from the Google search altogether. Google may not pick up on the use of these tools immediately, but eventually your site will be penalized.
