Many sites will give you tidbits about cloaking, scraping, spamming or some other black hat techniques without connecting the dots and creating a “Step by Step Guide to Black Hat Search Engine Optimization.”
For Computer Generated sites, the creation process start to finish takes me about 4-5 hours per site (i have heard some are much quicker) and I put up anywhere from 6-12 sites per week of: each with 500-30,000 pages.
Before I fill in all the blanks for a “Setp by Step Guide to Black Hat Search Engime Optimization” I figured I’d start with an outline. I invite you to comment if you think I have missed something, or would like to contribute.
As I post, I’ll fill in the blanks or make a page for the guide.
More or less in order, the start to finish process looks something like this :

This is going to be interesting. I don’t even know half of those techniques. Lead on!
This is the starting point of the how-to guide. I will make a post about everything on this list (at a minimum) and invite others to add to the outline to help make it more comprehensive.
Nice. Can’t wait to see it.

Symantic web? Hah…. funny, that.
I know, you meant “semantic” and you crossed it with “Symantec” , the anti-virus company. But it’s funny anyway. Fun read.
Thanks for doing this as it will help the search engines to know what to look for and dump.
This will probably create some competition. I am willing to contribute though, as I don’t really care about competition. I think it would be nice if various people contribute in the guide.
“Thanks for doing this as it will help the search engines to know what to look for and dump.”
That’s nonsense. The search engines know how they can be exploited and how they are being exploited. They don’t need anyone else to give them a clue.
Interesting reading ahead then.
Are these pages not generating themselves then? 
Can’t believe you’re brave enough to publish this. I have to admire you for that. I’ve played around with generating thousands of pages via RSS and using markov text to randomise the text. But none of them paid.
My latest effort involved writing a script to autogenerate 10,000,000 pages of random text. I only put it up a couple of days ago but am hoping that it’ll do well.
Good luck,
Ben
P.S. Why 500-30,000 pages? Is 10,000,000 over kill?
I’ll watch out f0r the completion of this, my masters.
I have a tool that does everything in that list and more, and its almost fully automated. Too bad for everyone, cause its not for sale. 
*Rubs it in*
oh…and btw….search engines know, care, and constently try to put a stop to auto generated spam pages and cloaking for adsense and all the rest of it. They will find the “cure” to the “disease” eventually. For now, lets use weaknesses to our advantage and milk the internet while we still can!
This is a super cool idea… I will bookmark and check back to comment periodically.
I may even be able to help you flesh out one or two of the sections.
The problem with having success on this one is that the SE’s will look through it and see which holes they have not plugged as yet.
I see big G is getting smarter by the minute, wehat with being able to now look through your css and spot hidden items and such and also almost contextualise and read your pages as a surfer would.
Good luck with this project - there is a massive audience for this kind of thing.
There is no black and white, only shades of gray!
Ms. Whalen appears to be one of those who prostrates before Google and their whims…I love Google, but it’s funny how Google hates commercial exploitation of its service while it “exploits” millions of pages of content so it can sell its AdSense? Just a thought…anyway, kudos to Quad for this site…
