Ofcourse, but that was before it hard a term of blackhat seo ;-)
But no not for a long time, the early days you experimented with design and content trying to keep it content rich but not overloading, it used to be great to have portal pages and a recognised method, then along came "blackhat seo" and you had to be alot cleverererer ;-)
So I guess it depeneds on what you deem blackhat and how long you have been doing SEO. Also the algorithms are much better and they now dig through dynamic sites so the old methods or blackhat methods are redundant now.
