I recently asked an SEO professional and friend during a business meet if he used black hat or white hat SEO techniques and he told me that he is a grey hat guy, which means he some times does use black hat techniques. Man does not need God or a religious scripture to tell him that murder is wrong. In fact, there may be authorities that may justify a killing (like say for national defense) but anybody in his senses know it is still wrong from a human level.

Thus there are certain basic things all self respecting SEO people know is taboo as it is not ethical and bad for the future of the networked world (Web 1, Web 2, Web x...) Google or no Google, and also for his Soul. So, Do Not

Spam the search engines

Intentionally harm a client or competitor

Directly violate search engine guidelines

Falsely represent the clients content

Compromise with client's confidentiality

Be out of touch with the search engine/industry updates/changes

Be proud of using hidden links if you must

Be a part of the link farm mafia
