I thought this would make a somewhat interesting post, some of you might already know this but I want to go over the three main kinds of SEO anyway, you just might learn something you didn’t know before.
Now, SEO is really good and profitable and all that, but if you don’t know what you’re doing is right or wrong, you would definitely get burned in google, I’ve been messing around with SEO since 2006, and after almost 3 years of trial & error, I know what to do and not to do. So here we go..
Black Hat SEO
This is really really bad, unless you know what you’re doing, don’t do it.
- Copying content.
- Cloaking
- Faking pr by using redirections
- Abusing APIs for more content or traffic.
- Auto blogs with a few hacks, kinda like dup-content
- Link spamming
- Irrelevant outgoing links.
- Mass link spamming, some over the top stuff.
- Changing author links on wordpress themes and spreading them.
Grey Hat SEO
Well, theres a 50/50 chance..this isn’t good or bad, its up to your ethics..Still there’s a good chance you’ll get burned doing this.
- Spamming
- Email spam
- Using programs to manipulate google serps (auto clickers)
- Using social bookmarks way too much to spam
- Way too many directory links
- Buying irrelevant links on purpose
- Over-doing social bookmarks.
- MFA (Made for adsense sites)
- Hacked sitemaps, to include links to other sites then your own.
White Hat SEO
This is where the money is (for me, atleast).
- Good content
- Natural backlinks
- Organic SERPs
- NO irrelevant links
- NO directory spamming
- Respectable, Authoritative and relevant outgoing links
- NO offtopic content
- Useful resources along with content
- Regular sitemap, submitted once or twice a month to the webmaster central at google
- NO over selling links
- NO irrelevant links within content
