There are two types of seo: black hat seo and white hat seo. Basically, black hat seo is a way of getting your website listed on the search engines, but in a bad way, and usually the results are you getting penalized.

Black Hat search engine optimization is customarily defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner. These black hat SEO techniques usually include one or more of the following characteristics:

Breaks search engine rules and regulations
Creates a poor user experience directly because of the black hat SEO techniques utilized on the Web site.
Unethically presents content in a different visual or non-visual way to search engine spiders and search engine users.

Otherwise known as "cloaking". Below is a partial list I found of methods generally considered as "Black Hat" techniques.

Keyword Stuffing

Cloaking

Invisible Text

Doorway Pages

Selling PageRank

These are things that search engines, particularly Google frown upon. They can get you penalties or just outright removed from the index, and it's really hard to get back in. But as with anything, there are lots of "gray" areas. If you have SEO clients it certainly isn't worth it to run the risk of losing them because of bad or uninformed practice. You can certainly push the envelope, but you better know exactly what your doing and be ready to accept the possible consequences. There are too many "good" and effective strategies around to gamble with your client's rankings and your income.

It also means you use corrupt methods to rank up your website.

What code of ethics are you referring to?

Corrupt? Can you define corrupt relating to SEO?

Just read Google's webmaster guidelines. Anything outside of those guidelines would be something they don't like.

The way I understand black hat seo, is that it is a set of techniques that may get you listed above others in sneaky or illegitimate ways. These methods usually only lead to you getting removed from search results once the search engine catches on to your methodology.
