How do you do that? By adopting a philosophy and following some techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Now, White, Black, and Gray Hat SEO are just ways to describe the philosophy an <b><strong>SEO expert\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>adopted for their own or their client\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to jump to any conclusions and say one of them is better than the other, and we firmly believe that there are little to no entirely White or Black Hat\u00a0<b><strong>SEO services<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1366 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mituri-despre-optimizare-seo-1.png\" alt=\"Black Hat SEO\" width=\"600\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mituri-despre-optimizare-seo-1.png 600w, https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/mituri-despre-optimizare-seo-1-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Who are the\u00a0<b><strong>White Hat SEO<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0experts?<\/h5>\n<p>If you can say for sure you follow Google\u2019s Webmaster Guidelines to a T, means you\u2019re wearing a white hat.<\/p>\n<p>White Hats love to keep their actions within Google\u2019s rules so they don\u2019t risk in any shape or form getting a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>They also know that when you stick to the rules, the rankings go up and stay up for a longer time, which means you\u2019ll eventually have to work less and less on your SEO.<\/p>\n<p>A white hat chooses the longer road, but the most secure one, whereas a black hat looks for shortcuts and easy wins.<\/p>\n<p>We have to mention that sometimes, poorly executed White Hat SEO can bring more damage to a website than Black Hat SEO techniques. Make sure you practice good quality SEO, not just a rule-abiding one.<\/p>\n<p>Theoretically, a white hat is in less danger of getting penalized, but since there are almost none of the pure practitioners of this philosophy, we have to introduce the Gray Hat SEO expert to the team.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Is the Gray Hat SEO the answer to all our needs?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/top-mituri-de-seo-1.png\" alt=\"What is Black Hat SEO\" width=\"600\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/top-mituri-de-seo-1.png 600w, https:\/\/seolitte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/top-mituri-de-seo-1-300x275.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you hire someone to deliver professional SEO services for your website, expect to deal with a Gray Hat expert most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, White Hat wannabes don\u2019t get links naturally. They make deals and reach out to various website owners to guest post or exchange links.<\/p>\n<p>If they were to follow the exact rules in the Webmaster guidelines, they would have to wait for years to get organically linked. And let\u2019s be serious, nobody has time for that.<\/p>\n<p>Link acquisition is mainly the only time a white-hat SEO practitioner steps out of line. So yeah, the Gray Hat SEO might just be exactly what you\u2019re looking for if you want to stay within Google\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What\u2019s Black Hat SEO, and should you avoid it?<\/h3>\n<p>By deduction, if white hat means abiding by the rules, Black Hat means tricking the algorithms and going around some of these said rules.<\/p>\n<p>So here is what you need to do if you want to put on the stylish black hat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Hidden text\/links<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; these texts and links are usually full of keywords and are there just to boost the ranking. They usually use the same color font as the background or tiny text sizes.<\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Irrelevant keywords <\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">&#8211; stuffing your content with irrelevant keywords will make your traffic go up, but so will your bounce rates. You\u2019ll get plenty of people to click on your site, but they won\u2019t find what they came there for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Page cloaking <\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">&#8211; it&#8217;s a technique used to mislead the search engine by showing one content in the results and entirely different content on the actual page. Furthermore, the user also goes to a page that contains content they were not searching for. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Content automation<\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">&#8211; means posting content generated automatically with the help of a tool. These texts don\u2019t require a person\u2019s involvement and do not contain any SEO key components (headings, style, images). <\/span><\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Duplicate content <\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">&#8211; it\u2019s one of the worst practices of black hat SEO. It means duplicating content from a different website that ranked high. Search engines index content just once, and if it appears on another website, it&#8217;s marked as copied. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Buying and selling links<\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\"> &#8211; getting multiple links on third-party websites that point to your website is very beneficial to your rankings. One thing is for sure: sooner or later, Google will find out that your website was part of a link-selling scheme and will penalize your website forever, with no option to recover from it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">SPAMing &#8211;<\/em><span style=\"background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">\u00a0mass posting on Social Media or sending mass messages that will include a link to your website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One thing is for sure: Google is improving its ways to detect tactics inconsistent with its guidelines. There is no way you can go on breaking the rules for a long time. If you\u2019re okay with being penalized eventually, go ahead and do it.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Why is SEO important?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ll answer that with another question.
