Comic: You might be a black hat SEO if…

Did you have any classmates in high school who spent more time trying to figure out patterns in a teacher’s true-false or multiple-choice tests than they did studying?

Today, many of those guys are black hat SEOs, and Google – just like their old teachers – is onto their schemes.

If you can’t remember who they are by thumbing through your old yearbooks, we offer these tests to help you with the identification process. And, when you do find your friends and colleagues who are hooked on black hat SEO, you need to be bold.

Step in, confront your black hat SEO and make him admit his problem. Send him a copy of “Confessions of a Black Hat SEO” (number seven on Amazon’s non-fiction bestseller list). Get him the audio version if dealing with all that tiny type has caused his eyesight to go bad.

Remember: Friends don’t allow friends to keyword stuff.
