Wordpress: The Ultimate Blackhat Platform
In you’re into blackhat SEO and not extensively experimenting with WP blogs, then you’re not heading in the Blackhat 2.0 direction! By far, WP is currently the ultimate BH platform. This is not to say that site generators like RSSGM, MyGen, YACG, etc, are past their use-by-date, but you can do so much more with WP!
For starters, there are probably over ten thousand themes available, hundreds of plug-ins, unparallel support, and constant security updates and improvements. WP themes can be easily modified to resemble traditional sites. WP Multi-User can create dozens/hundreds of blogs on single domain fairly quickly… and the list goes on!
If you want to get into developing your own themes and plug-ins for WP, here are some useful links.

Hey Brad,
What do you do to get around the dupe content issue with Wordpress? Do you use any special plug-ins?
Thanks!
thanks for the post enjoyed it.
i love wordpress
@Brad: Google’s dupe filter is a joke, and I’m pretty sure it barely functions inter-site. Either way, that’s not the kind of thing BH’s worry too much about. It’s a quantity game.
