Definitely lots of creativity on BHW, from the black hat side of things. They often try to exploit things quickly in a churn and burn fashion. Most of their advice shouldn't be followed because eventually they get punished for their methods. With that said there is still tons of general marketing wisdom to be gleamed from them. Especially the older threads that go over buyer psychology and such. It's Googles favorite forum anyway, they like to keep up with the baddies.

Has there been any real development in the industry during the last 10 years? Back then it was basically: optimise your site and ask/buy links. The techniques of keyword stuffing, link wheels and splogs had already passed by then.

That's what I've seen.

1. Write unique content that targets specific keywords. Use something like semrush.

2. Have good semantic markup with fast loading pages.

3. Get backlinked from higher authority domains through partnerships or paid engagements.

That's it.
