Question about Cookie Stuffing, Hat Color, and Bad Gas...
But whenever this discussion comes up I hear that it takes on one of these following aspects... It is either:
1.) White Hat.
2.) Grey Hat.
3.) Black Hat.
or...
4.) Blue Fart.
So, my first question is usually - I know what the various "hats" are - white is by the book, good guy, Mr. Clean. Not many say that Stuffing a cookie is white hat, but then if you are doing it on your own site for products you are promoting, that seems legitimate.
Some say that it is in the grey area - therefor grey hat. I wold say that depends on your strategy.
Some say that any cookie stuffing at all is illegal, completely ignoring the fact that large companies do it - and call it black hat or worse.
Finally, and this one continues to make me scratch my head, some say it is Blue Fart... WTF??? What exactly is "blue fart" and what distinguishes it from "black hat"???
At any rate, what is considered "ethical cookie use" and what is not in the opinion of the forum. I ask because I am looking at all options in the set up of various affiliate sites, and frankly to make money you need this information.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
