The Black Hat’s Weeklong Traffic Festival: From Royal Wedding to Beatification to Osama Bin Laden
Tech bloggers are really the smartest when it comes to dominating the Web with simple SEO techniques. They always see the invisible magnitude hiding within every trending topic on the Web. They have this knack for using powerful keywords, and they always take this opportunity without hesitation.
Yet on the other side of their angelic deeds of utilizing keywords to gain traffic in a very positive way, there are the villains who want to take the short-cut approach.

A never ending party for BLACK HAT SEO geeks
This week is “celebration week”: Europeans and hopeless-romantics celebrate the Royal Wedding with love; The Polish and the rest of the world rejoice in Pope John Paul II’s beatification with tears; and without a doubt, Americans and terror victims gnash their teeth out of pleasure when they heard Osama’s “unarmed” death.
Black Hat SEO practitioners celebrate, too.
Black Hats are not really bad people with evil hearts. They are just nasty Internet geeks who use dirty—or illegal, according to Google—SEO tactics to attract traffic to their business sites. They are just a bunch of people who took a very different perspective of the recent events that colored the world with celebration and happiness in, seeing it more as a business opportunity.
Deceptively clever Black Hats
For non-Americans, this Osama Bin Laden issue is nothing but a less amusing news story than Kate Middleton’s plain wedding gown.

Yet, unlike these socially introvert people who had not put a single attention to Osama’s death, Black Hat SEO practitioners see it as one big opportunity to boost their traffic.
For Black Hats, nothing is more positively appealing than using this trendy news topic for attracting massive traffic to their sites. In, short, it is a business opportunity they should not ignore—like striking whilst the iron is superbly hot.
