Search engine optimisation, SEO in short, has many clowns racing around the scene trying to describe and teach everything you want to know. In fact, I myself, am going to attempt to spread a bit of knowledge right here on my own website. However, my goal is to not make you money — but to help you understand the concepts, theorys and methods used by individuals that have proven to make money.
I am not going to ask for donations, insist on you buying an e-book or even ask that you subscribe. Simply pay attention and be prepared to do your own research. With so many techniques, options and variables changing every day, you must be ready to stay on top of your stuff, individually.
What is black hatting; black hat seo? This question is often asked and people often relate it to hacking, where I once again believe its identical. Black hatting or black hat seo is not illegal. It is simply more technical and in-depth than the easily available white hat seo techniques. Black hat specialists simply pay attention to more detail than those wearing the white hat.
What hat you wear is based upon how thorough and detailed you are about your technique. Use what is best for you and ignore the results of people around you. There are changes to be made every day. Sometimes by modifying your methods by just a smidge could have some fantastic results. Do not take bursts of income and inreased traffic for granted. Research why it happened, where it came from and use that for your benefit.

2Interesting point of view. I have only ever heard the point of view that the “black hatters” were evil doers who would get page rank via unscrupulous methods such as cloaking, door way pages, or hidden text.

3Actually, a better definition would be that white hats follow the rules of the search engines and avoid things that the search engines disagree with. Black hats do whatever is required to get traffic, whether the search engines like it or not!
