Black Hat SEO vs White Hat SEO

There are several SEO techniques available for improving search engine ranking of a webpage. While some are considered to be ethical, the others are manipulative and risky. While the former is called white hat SEO, the latter is called black hat SEO.

Example of white hat SEO includes optimization of meta tags, inserting keywords in URLs, directory submissions, sitemap making and/or creation of keyword-optimized content. These techniques help search engines locate you pass against the keyword.

Black hat SEO, on the other hand, includes redirection of search engine “spiders” to various pages, posting spam comments en-masse. It even involves deceiving users to visit sites they would never want to visit. They actually reduce quality of search engine results.

White hat SEO is a time-consuming affair but gives better results in the long run. They create a more optimistic impact on the minds of people. Black Hat SEO techniques, like sending spam mails, take lesser time. But credibility of the old website suffers.

White hat SEO techniques have to be executed effectively. In fact, over use of white hat techniques could turn it into a black hat one. For instance, posting linked comments to related blogs is not considered problematic. However, using software to post huge quantities of irrelevant and identical comments is considered as black hat technique.

White hat methods, when done properly, could actually produce the perfect long-term benefits with a greater impact across the web. Many commonly used black hat SEO techniques have failed to deliver sustained results after an initial burst in page hits.

Making your company logo stand out in the crowd

We hardly remember the company logos that we see daily. It’s because the logos are so nondescript that they don’t create any impression on our minds. Nevertheless, those that really attract our attention, remain in our minds forever.

We can safely say that for any company or organization, the logo is the brand identity. It is the first thing which gets noticed and more often than not, the company’s overall image gets engraved in people’s minds. However, logo designing doesn’t merely involve putting any kind of caption or image in a random way. It has to reflect the activities of your company. Else, the logo could prove to be detrimental to your company’s worth and result in bad publicity.

A logo can be considered to be perfect only when it has some key features. It must have a proper font size and style, color selection and compact in design. The resultant image must be able to convey a corporate message to the world in the most comprehensive manner. Should a customer be able to relate himself to your logo, you can say that the logo has been successful.

Though several companies and websites offer logo designing services, it’s pertinent to hire one which has a proven track record. You can read the client testimonials and also ask for samples of work done. While several companies may make tall claims, they often fail to live up to their expectations. Remember, in the end, the logo should be eye-catching to make it stand out in the crowd.

SEO Link Framing Strategies

SEO link framing strategies are very important to give you a high rank in popular search engines. Following are a few of them that could bring noticeable results.

Mix up anchor text

Mixing up your anchor text with links directed to your webpage would look more natural before a search engine. Keep your website relevant to an array of related keywords and gain more traffic from relevant searches.

Go deep

Establishing links to pages deep inside your website would strengthen your domain to the search engines. An average business website usually builds links to 2-3 pages while the majority limits them to the home page only. Adding blogs to your website, besides writing compelling content, could attract deeper links to your site.

Link-to-link pages

Direct linking is always helpful. However, should your link building strategies involve guest blog posts and articles, try to build links to such pages. Increasing the page authority which links you to relevant keyword phrases, will greatly enhance your page rankings.

Spread the link from various PR sites

Getting a high page rank (PR) backlink is awesome. But getting an exhaustive mix of low, medium and high PR backlinks would look more natural. It’ll also generate a better result in the long and short term.

Slow and steady

Link building should never be a race. Attaining a collection of incoming links in a short span of time, could look artificial to popular search engines and unlikely to generate the desired return. Try to acquire the links within a feasible span of time, say six months
