"white hat" seo is just a group of arbitrary standards that marketers create to help them sleep better at night.

If you would listen to some people on WF, putting up an EZA article on **** berry and linking to their "how to lose weight" site is white hat but putting up a profile linking to their car insurance site is black hat. Give me a break.

Now, I certainly encourage people to avoid breaking the law with illegal activities like cookie stuffing (which some people like to lump in with "black hat"), do what you feel comfortable with, and not what Joe Schmo SEO guru tells you relates to a certain color wardrobe.

P.S. By most of the responses on this thread, it is pretty clear that most of the folks here couldn't possibly make more than $50/month from SEO.

white hat seo are practices that are accepted to use in order to get better rankings, more traffic etc. these are techniques that are encouraged by the search engines. practices for both white and black hat seo including link building for example, but it is the way in which it's done that makes it good or bad.

both techniques can get you results, but if you use black hat seo, you run the risk of your website being banned by the search engines. this can happen by using software submission tools for bookmarking sites and directory submissions. if better to do thing manually as you will not be seen as a spammer

I am completely agree with you and what ever you said is correct. White hat SEO is the most ethical way of getting SEO results instead of Black hat techniques.

As long as google does not ban you its a white hat technique, if google bans you or penalizes you it becomes a black hat technique, its all in hands of almighty "G".

both white hat and black hat are seo. Both can rank you high. white hat is what google allows. Black hat is what google disallows.

Black hat is cheaper, takes less time, requires less efforts as compared to white hat seo. It is risky. You may get long term results but there is no guarantee.

If you are doing black hat seo, as said by the above posters your site may be banned any time. It rarely happens.

In search engine optimization (SEO) terminology, White Hat SEO refers to the usage of SEO strategies, techniques and tactics that focus on a human audience opposed to search engines and completely follows search engine rules and policies. For example, a Web site that is SEO optimized, yet focuses on relevancy and organic ranking is considered to be optimized using White Hat SEO practices.

From where have you taken this definition. it is neither white hat nor black hat.

what you are saying is ho (human optimization) not seo (search engine optimization).

Whitehat - For long term sustainability, however requires lot of investment and results aren't quick

Blackhat - Your only concern is to rank #1, no matter how much you've to spam, exploit etc., in short short term sustainability

white hat seo is optimizing your page in a legal way,a way for which Google have no objection at all and that indirectly means optimizing for human,so that people searching through Google get valuable result,not the result which is for bots only.
I think anishsinha meant that by human optimization.

White hat SEO simply means the search engine ranking techniques that are approved by search engines. Any techniques used to trick search engines algorithm are considered black hat...White hat methods are aimed at the web users but not tricking search engines spiders...Implementing white hat methods is obviously the better choice as it can make your website rank for longer period and higher position...

Quality Content

When we first started looking at SEO as a separate entity to website build there was one phrase that we would continually hear, “content is King”, and it’s true. There is nothing more valuable you can do to optimise your site for search engines than offer unique well written content. A search engines aim is to serve up what it believes to be the most appropriate website for any given search to the end user.
Imagine we are the end user and we are searching for a portable air conditioner for hire. We go to our favourite search engine and search for the phrase “portable air conditioner hire”. In this imaginary scenario let’s assume there are only 2 websites that target that phrase

Keyword Research and Effective Keyword Use

Create your website with keywords and key phrases in mind. Research keywords and key phrases you think people might use to find your site. Single words are not always the most effective target, try multi-word phrases that are much more specific to your product/service and you’ll be targeting end users that are much more likely to want what you are offering.

For me the 2 of the best white hat techniques

Thanks

White hat backlinking is definitely accepted by the search engine, and the name for it just exists to separate it from black hat strategies. Massive spamming, means opening multiple account by own site and submitting links like crazy could be defined as spamming and black hat. It depends on how and how fast you build the links.

It is not always so clear where the boundaries are. There certainly is a definite white area and some techniques like content cloaking for instance, which is black hat plain and simple, but there also exists a somewhat grey area, where you do not know for sure. Take the amount of keywords as an example. It is a normal white hat practice to add them casually here and there into your content. But if you add them too much, flooding the page with them, it becomes black hat and you may get banned. What exactly is considered too much (today) – only the great G knows.

In my personal understanding it is any SEO tactic that maintains the integrity of your website and the SERPs. These are the only tactics that we will use whenever applicable and which enhance rather than detract from your website and from the rankings.
