"black hats" make google work , if it didnt google would be broke. if the search engines showed perfect results, nobody would ever click on an ad, it wouldnt be profitable , black hat seo is what makes google work.. without blackhat google would be broke , close down and you wouldnt get a hit from google.. thank black hats for creating traffic for you

no but when someone clicks a link on google and gets something other than what they were searching for, isn't that pretty similar to someone clicking on a misleading subject title in an email? i don't really follow your logic on making google work. if people got what they were searching for they would be more likely to do it again and trust googles listings, be it paid or free. when people do searches, get misleading sites or redirected or popped all over the place, they are going to be less likely to trust any links on google. does the average surfer really know the difference between paid and free listing anyways?
i used to get lots of hits from google just updating my site. now i get almost nothing. why? because they have changed their methods so much due to being swamped by seo spammers that regular sites rarely stand a chance without a huge number of backlinks. i gave up trying to compete because its impossible to compete with people who use throw away domain, throw away sites. they don't care if they get banned. they just get a new one and do it all over again.
