I guess we should include something for the blue-hatters; the ones who stick to white hat for their own sites but can use black hat techniques for the pages that are linking to their sites It’s still difficult for them to get hurt by all the ‘smoke’ !!

I know when i haven’t done any Black Hat SEO for a while i start to sweat and get the shakes. JOKE! White Hat all the way.

I’ve never heard or seen the smoking-black hat metaphor before. Thanks for brightening up the morning Virginia!

Black hat only works for the short term, if at all. It’s pretty much used by every fly by night seo company.

@Virginia: Perfect analogy! I would also highlight that many small businesses are victims of passive smoking, they don’t even know that the cheap (or sometimes costly) SEO company they have retained is using blackhat SEO and it’s hurting their website just like passive smoking does.
