Blackhat search engine optimisation techniques can get you blacklisted from a search engine. While these techniques might work on your Busby SEO Test page to give you a higher ranking for short time in the long run they will hurt you.

Mostly major search engine considered some techniques that are categorized as spam such as cloaking, invisible text, tiny text, identical pages, doorway pages, refresh tags, link farms, filling comment tags with keyword phrases only, keyword phrases in the author tag, keyword density to high, mirror pages and mirror sites.

Therefore, in order to avoid your blog getting penalized by search engine, you better avoid aplying the following practices on your site :

1. Doing anything to trick the search engines. If what you are doing is not listed as one of the white hat SEO, the search engines will likely view it as spam and penalize you.

2. Listing and stuffing keywords anywhere except in your keywords meta tag. It is thus not usual to name keywords alone without any other “sentence stuffing”. Search engines know this and will consider you spamdexing.

3. Using the same color text on your page as the page’s background color. This has been used by some people to stuff their web pages with keywords, which is not a clear practice. Search engines are able to detect this and view it as spam.

4. Using the same tag for more than once on the same web page, e. g. using more than one title tag.
