    BLACK HAT is good for fast high ranking results... but your rankings get lost after some month...

    WHITE HAT is good for good rankings for long time... but the process is even longer to get good ranknings.

    GREY HAT is a mix betweet white and black hat... so you can imagine that your Site get a fast good ranking and a long existing in the SERPs.

    I prefer for your money sites white hat strategies... and for your blog dummies black hat strategies.

    White Hat SEO - Search engines encourage this technique. Its an ethical search engine optimization technique to get ranking in SERPs

    Black SEO - Its an unethical techniques to get ranking in SERPs.

    Grey Hat SEO - There is no clear definition for that. According to me what we are doing now is gray hat because white hat goes with passive link building.

    Please let me know if you have a clear idea on that.

    do just white hat (legal way) otherwise your sites won't get long term success. Black hat is good for a short time rise up only.

    I would stay way from Grey and Black Hat SEO methods as they can potentially harm your website rankings and traffic. White Hat is the safest, it may take a little longer to build up your rankings but you will stay on the higher side as long as you keep it up. Black Hat uses methods that can damage your ranking and penalize you for spamming and unethical internet practices. Trust me, Google as well as the other search engines have metrics to find the sites that use these types of practices. Did you ever hear the term "Here today, Gone Tomorrow?" Black Hat SEO can virtually destroy your website and wipe you off the internet as far as getting traffic and ranking from search engines.

    Very nice presentation.If you want a long lasting result then follow the White Hat SEO techniques.For the other two methods no guarantee is there.Your site may be banned ot have some penalty by following them.They are violating the rules of the Google.

    I know that the black hat technique is unethical and illegal, little forced, while the white hat is legal and ethical without harming others, has to apply that do not believe...

    If you use BH, then don't use anything that's important to you, like adsense on sites that you do. I have always seen people on the Warrior Forum post that their adsense account was suspended and claim google gave them no reason for it. You can be assured, google knows exactly what they did and acted accordingly.

    Like the advice above, if you're going to do it, then do so only on dummy sites or something you don't care gets de-indexed. But beware, if goog has the gumption to, they can't figure out what other sites you have and hit you there too.

    two pennies worth

    Good post i have hear about white hat and black hat but not hear about grey hat before read your post, i think you are saying right because usually people don't don't like to show patience and going crazy to see their sites on the top results therefor they should do Grey hat SEO for this purpose.

    LOL. Blackhat SEO is NOT illegal!! I don't know why people keep thinking this. SCAMMING people is illegal and you will go to jail, but you will NOT go to jail for keyword stuffing

    The only think that makes Blackhat different is that search engines claim that they will penalize you (ie. bad ranking) if you use those techniques. However, if this was TRUE you could then go and use blackhat techniques to delist all of your competitors listings and then you would OWN Google!!

    White hat SEO means SEO techniques which are well accepted by search engines.

    Black hat tactics are those which the search engines do not consider ethical.

    Grey hat means anything between these two.

    You should do whitehead seo only but not all methodes are really clear what they are. Better stay away from blasting services.Do natural anchortext linking. do some links daily but donīt do too much. The quality is more important that the quanity.
    Write articles, press releases and do ezine marketing with anchor text links and donīt forget forums and do blog commenting as well and sooner or later you get on page one of google for your best keyword. Just do it.
