Is blackhatworld.com Safe?

someone has thumbed up the site on the basis of "discusses ways of obtaining good search engine optimization results and other general online marketing" However the techniques being discussed are mostly Black Hat techniques which IMO should never be utilised to promote your website. A fair portion of the posts seem to be discussing how they are being scammed or are the ones doing the scamming, which I felt was divine justice (what goes around comes around) There is a small section for White Hat techniques but the emphasis is on using Black Hat techniques. The site seems clean and is packed with information on Black Hat techniques. I will say the site is useful for the honest webmasters who would like to learn more about negative techniques so they can avoid adopting any techniques considered Black Hat. Lastly for those that may consider using these techniques, don't, if you get caught your site can be banned. Take the time to improve your site and product and build your site on clean ethical techniques which will help build your customer loyalty in the long run.
