Sounds like a good idea. Other than syndic8, I can’t really find good reliable BH info. Everyone plays their cards close to their chest.

With the changing SE algos and filters, you have to find counter-measures to survive.

I do agree that it should be by invitation only, with the ip addresses logged for tracking purposes to keep potential spies out.

Black Hat used to be a “dirty” word (and still is, in some circles) and was rejected. With the new changes in the SE’s, it doesn’t matter WHAT type of website you have, WH, BH, GH…they are all at the mercies of whatever new implementations the SE’s throw at us.

We need to devise new tactics, methods, and strategies to use in the SE wars.

I think… search engines obviously know almost all the methodÂ´s to exploit them, but wit out this becoming mainstream, they keep their ppl working on more important stuff (for their profits)… if you start making most BHinfo available here, and you start getting tons of traffic, they are going to take countermeasures.

my 2c.

I’d like to see such a wiki

And you could institute editors to monitor posts to ensure they aren’t promotional, or try to otherwise harm the wiki – that’s what wikipedia is doing now. Of course it would mean people volunteering to become editors, so guidelines would have to be developed

And then you’d want to make sure the editors didn’t turn into ODP editors who are only doing it for their own good.

I think it’d be a great social experiment as well.

i kinda think sites like this are bad enough, paranoia is key in BHSEO

I agree with Just a guy. I think a good black hatter needs to be slighty parnoid for survival. This is a fabulous idea, but make it private, by invitation only. Then do IP tracking on everyone who logs in to police it. If the info becomes public, the SEs will develop countermeasures (or at least they will try)!

Sounds like a great idea. My knowledge in the subject is limited but I would be more than willing to help anyway I can.

Wikis are proving their ability all over the web – no reason a Black Hat Wiki won’t do the same.

If you’ve got ppl pissed at your blog then expect bucket loads of misinformation.

First, love your blog.

Second, if you go to wide, won’t it possibly:

A. Dilute the effectiveness of the techniques.

B. Alert those who work for SEs what the techniques are and allow countermeasures?

Just wondering.
