Thanks 4 Advance

I'll give you the short version...

White-hat SEO: Manual link submissions, follows Google (and other SE) TOS and Guidelines, time-consuming, effective.

Grey-hat SEO: Breaking a rule or two, usually when you know how to use black-hat tools properly and efficiently, makes use of SE (search engine) courtesy and human emulation settings, uses proxies, etc. Just as effective.

Black-hat SEO: Unethical SEO practises, unrelated, spammy backlinks, mass submission (low delay settings if any), uses proxies, fast automation tools. Also effective, short-term unless you really know what you're doing. Can easily cause Google penalties in the wrong hands.

Conclusion: All 3 works, it's all about how much you REALLY know about SEO.

Thanks

Every manipulative type of linkbuilding is BH IMHO. Unfortunately, what The Big G wants is no linkbuilding done only Proper on page seo factors

  Ha ha! Forum signatures being a form of black hat? That statement's going to receive a lot of criticisms here as I can foresee.
  
  Whitehat SEO is the best of course because it's the only legitimate way to earn decent traffic.
  
  Stay away from Black hat.
  
  As from Grey Hat. Well it's still a risk so might as well just stick to White hat if you're already doing good at it. Which by the way you really should.
  
  Thanks

There is no difference.

SEO, true SEO, is stuff that works. Period.

If it works, it's SEO. If it doesn't, it aint.

You are either pregnant, or you aren't.

People come up with these labels, because they
want to scare people, or they've done something
stupid.

Well now, stupid is not really SEO now is it?

White hat: Anything and everything that works.

  That's the only reason I made that comment.
