Black hat SEO refers to practices used to manipulate search engines and improve a site or page's ranking. Examples include stealing content from other websites, overusing keywords, and hiding text by matching its color to the background. These techniques may lead to Google penalties. Competitors can also use similar methods maliciously, as in spam backlink attacks.
