BlackHat SEO News & Reviews

Black Hat World is a very interesting place for webmasters to hang out. I would say it’s an ESSENTIAL place for any black hatter to visit almost daily. The tactics that are posted there are very interesting and often quite innovative. A lot happens in the chat room via IRC so stuff there doesn’t get picked up by the search engines and made public.

The strength of Black Hat World is it’s free and open to the public. There is a hierarchy, naturally, as there are the admins and moderators, the VIP members, the Jr. VIP members, the Donors, and the new free members. Anybody can earn spots to the top with hard work and demonstrations of Black Hat competence.

The site has become a haven for webmaster warez unfortunately since a lot of high quality webmaster products get posted there to share. There is no reputation system except for counting the number of times a member has been “thanked” for their posts, usually an indication of respect. The hierarchy also shows how much each member is respected.

Many high ticket products and services are sold, so be very careful when buying anything costing more than $100. A few scammers have taken members for a few thousand dollars in that forum. I’ve never been scammed because I’m always very cautious. Some of the high-ticket items are very worthwhile though, so be on the lookout but distrust as much as possible to stay safe.

Another drawback is that the site leaders definitely have their own club and are slow to let anybody else in. This keeps that group strong but excludes the majority of members - call it hacker paranoia.

There is a lot shared and a lot to learn from Black Hat World. I recommend it to all webmasters who engage in the “dark side” of internet marketing.

I rate it an 8.5/10

It’s a pretty popular thing nowadays for gurus to offer “coaching” which isn’t really them coaching just some employee they pay to do it. It works on newbies but once you’ve seen the approach a couple of times, the charm and attraction of getting “coached” by a guru loses all taste and you start to get angry every time you see an offer like that. If you really could be coached by somebody who was really good at what they did in internet marketing, it would be worth a good price. Well Bompa is teaching and he’s charging VERY LITTLE.

I actually stumbled across Black Hat Boot Camp by accident. I had never heard of Bompa and wasn’t a member of the Syndk8.net forum where he’s a global moderator. The sales page was completely devoid of the guru aspects, it was actually a well humored satirical yet serious sales pitch. I liked what I saw and signed up for the membership.

I have been VERY impressed with the site. You get a private forum to ask Bompa questions that you’d be embarrassed to ask publicly and he answers very truthfully and politely (since you’re his paying customer!)

Black Hat Boot Camp is also where Bompa shares his custom black hat programs and scripts. Some of these are KommentKing, (for mass commenting blogs) Simple Niche Finder, (for localizing naked niches to dominate) ReferBomb, (for sending referrer hits to stats pages for webmasters to see a custom message) SearchBot, (for scraping the SE’s) and more.

There is no hype, no “product launch” and constant updates. It’s everything you should look for in a membership site because it provides REAL one-on-one help, specialized tools not available anywhere else, and constant updates. Those are the three elements of a good membership site to me. For the low price Bompa asks, you get more than your money’s worth. Oh yeah and his tools actually work.
