    You call methods greyhat when you know it's blackhat and don't want to say it, or you are not sure if it can be considered blackhat :))

    Actually, it's more blackhat SEO, but greyhat webmasters don't risk as much as blackhat SEO webmasters. They try to keep a good balance between allowed and forbidden things :)

    Yes you are correct. There is no much risk involved in greyhat SEO but it will still use some illegal methods not suggested by Google so chance of BAN is also there.

    Some GreyHat SEO tactics are as follows:
    Paid Links
    Duplicate Contents
    Cloaking

    Yes, I too think the same .. Gray hat is a hybrid name which has been evolved by the combination of both white hat and black hat. :)

    Gray hat techniques are those techniques that are neither white nor black hat techniques, as they can be argued either ways. Or techniques that appear as black hat to search engines but appear as white hat to webmasters, and webmasters are arguing them out with the search engines.

    Also, search engines are against sale/purchase of links, but people subscribe to online magazines for the purpose of getting a back link.

    Therefore, techniques that cannot be put into black hat category or white hat category, are put into gray hat category.

    it is seo that is not ethical but not completely spamming. Most of it wont get you blacklisted but basically the same thing as blackhat just not as bad.
