If you ask me , you need to do BOTH.. Black Hat - for immediate results..but White Hat..for longer lasting ones.. Now..use BLOGGER cause it belongs to Google so they won't detect it until 2-3 months later.
My opinion that white hat seo is best method for improve website ranking but its long time wait and see good result.
Black and white ?? You can say that YOU are white hat SEO but i thinks its not 100% never anyway 100% if you not a pro Seoer...
Well I m doin SEO with WH method but it depend upon you after sometime you can easily judge is it spam or WH method Hope you got my point Cheers
white hat SEO is the best way to promote website and keyword......... it is time taking technique but it's really very effective technique.....
Stay with white hat SEO.....depending on the competition you can rank very fast.......besides if you stay legit your rankings will last a lot longer.
white hat is the best simply because its going to be there over a long term. black hat will get you up in the serps quick but there is always the chance of being sandboxed, etc, depending on which methods you use. i personally start out with a "greyish hat" approach, i get indexed quickly then move up in the serps using black hat and once that is established i start building quality and legit backlinks from high authority sites.
If you want build a long time business I think white hat seo still the best, how much time to get rank in google at the first page, its depend from the competition on your niche. So, when you wait your site to get rank in google, you can do a lot of traffic generation technique to your site.
