Is Black hat SEO cheaper than white hat SEO?

[Rockmonster]

Hey all.

Does anyone know if black hat SEO is cheaper to do than white hat SEO? I know you can do both yourself and white hat SEO is just following Google's guidelines. But with black hat SEO these days there's a lot of buying of links and stuff.

Mmm cheaper in what way? Time wise or money wise?

I would say white hat takes a lot more time but black hat costs more money.

I think it's more a question of reliability than price

Yes

Yes

Blackhat short term, since i have seen people make 10k grant accounts for Google on suicide.

Whitehat long term, since you make name for yourself and get organic traffic eventually
