Hello Everyone,
I'm a digital marketer and new in the field. While searching about SEO techniques I get some black hat techniques.
So, the question is can I use these techniques to my projects? Is it harmful?
Please share your experiences.

What kind of techniques are you talking about?
The truth is every now and then more or less everybody does something which can be classified as a so called "blackhat". But that doesn't necessarily mean that they get penalized all the time.
90% of them goes unnoticed.

Black hat techniques were very effective in the past. People used to buy and sell links for money. But now, Google is very smart and can detect the pattern of you are doing the SEO of your website.
Once Google detects a Pattern, It will penalize your site. Your ranking will be destroyed completely and you will have to restart from the beginning.

@
bonnieshona Me and my co-workers operate tons of those sites. Which can be called as black hat. But hasn't gotten any penalty so far.
Just take an example say if your friend gives you a link. Then how Google is going to penalize it. Google will just probably won't know it.
