Black Hat SEO vs White 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.
