Is black hat SEO legal?

In the eyes of the search engines, no. Black hat SEO is illegal in their point of view. Perhaps not to governments, but search engines still look down on these methods. Laws are still a bit blurry when it comes to Internet conduct because different countries have different standards.

The matter of morals and ethics comes into play here. The country you live in may have no rules whatsoever regarding SEO practices. However, the search engines do, and they operate on a global scale. So you’re better off staying away from methods like keyword stuffing and the like.

A legitimate search engine optimization company will want to stay away from these practices if they want to have more long-term success and a better reputation among their peers.
