Would you class BH SEO illegal? If so, why?

Unless you're hacking into google, then not really. Because you're using exploits which haven't been patched?

[Fugato]

You not actually 'hacking'.. it's more the developers fault. Is that where you're coming from? Like upping your Alexa Rank by using a program..

seo means getting better ranks in google, msn, or yahoo or any other serach engine.

if you want you're traffic to increese, most people do this. But requires a lot of content, and effect to get you to the top page.

to get to the top, you need backlinks, directory subbmsion, soical submissions, ie, digg, etc.

if you do it right, you can become top, if you do it wrong, and get a lot of spammy links this means blackhat SEO.

Blackhat SEO isn't an expliot either. Its just a way to get search engine bots to pick up more information about your site, thus getting you higher rankings on searches.

blackhat seo = bad seo.
whitehat seo = good seo

blackhat is spammy links getting you're way to the top..
whitehat is a good amount of links a month, non spammy, to get to the top.

whitehat seo is the best seo to go for as it won't get you blacklisted on google...

blackhat seo is bad seo, and is coruced by to many black links to your site, etc etc. Tomm knows this.

It's morally wrong, and it many cases it will be counter-productive as it will lead to you being excluded from the search index. It's best to read up about good SEO techniques which you can use again and again. It's not that difficult to do well in search rankings as long as you don't go for overused keywords.
