    3. Well, that’s correct. I once met this Hucksters. I was still newbie back then and someone offered me a black hat technique. I was amazed with the traffic and google adsense that I got. I paid him and not long after that, google banned my site. It’s flying away with my money. Somehow, it became my motivation to learn internet marketing and SEO, anyway…so I think I should give thanks to that guy too. lol.
