Black Hat SEO is the wrong way of doing SEO. Here a wrong method is used which is banned by google . Google has made laws and policy and these policies are violated in black hat SEO. When anyone uses black hat SEO then google penalizes that site and never ranks that site.

There is some process that are considered in the category of black hat SEO :

- Article Spinning
- Content Automation
- Link Farms, Link Wheels or Link Networks
- Reporting a Competitor
- Hidden Text or Links
- Pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing, viruses, trojans, and other malware
