    Black = Dirty
    White = Clean

    Both can help you to increase your sites SERP but blackhat is much faster ;)

    Black Hat is unethical and white hat is ethical. Only use white hat SEO if you want a good position within Google.
    And as for "Geekos" statment about blackhat being faster...yes it can be if you want your website penalised and removed from Google altogether! Never listern to anyone who says black hat is a good method for SEO or encourage you to use those methods, clearly they dont know anything about SEO.

    Whitehat SEO is basically doing everything within Google's guidelines and always putting your website visitors first.
    BlackHat SEO is taking unethical short cuts such as keyword stuffing, spamdexing, link farms etc, working outside of Google's rules in optimizing a website. Blackhat SEO will produce quick results, short term. However, it is the way to get your site blacklisted, banned from Google and other Search Engines.

    Stick with only Whitehat SEO techniques and you willl reap the rewards long term.

    Take care, Osagie Gabriel Irowa

    Black Hat - uses unethical ways just to get back links. Cloaking, door-way pages, keyword stuffing, invisible text and link farms are just some of the methods that falls under black hat.

    White Hat - is devoted to properly optimize the site, attract Crawler’s attention and get a long-run friendly relationship with search engine.

    White hat means ethical methods of seo. Black hat means unethical methods of seo like cloaking, doorway pages, etc. Grey hat seo means some path between the two. (like its a grey area, cant be really white hat or black hat completely)...

    Black Hat SEO is optimizations that are against search engine guidelines. If you step too far over the mark, your site may be penalized or even removed from the index.

    White Hat SEO techniques involve building a great website, full of unique content and promoting that website legitimately and within search engine guidelines.

    Black hat method is against SEO rules but provide positive result faster. White hat method obeys SEO rules but time consuming process to get required result. Once SE finds your black hat promotion you will be penalized by SE.

    I think website contents with proper optimized page is enough to get good rank in long run which will not be lost also. Never go for quick gains, it will blacklist you for sure and the traffic will be not long lasting.

    White Hat is more about user friendliness and accessibility rather than about tilting the odds seriously in one’s favor.Black hat SEO employs more deceptive methods to try to improve rankings.White hat SEO technique comprises of informative content creation, targeting competitive keywords etc.

    Now that Google has issued warning against comment spamming, you can add it to the list of blackhat seo.

    Black hat technique is not good for SEO. Even though, you will get some benefits from that to your site - its not encouraged by SE's.

    Keyword stuffing, duplicate content, spam comment are some among those - its good to practice white hat technique, even you won't the desired as very soon - you will get success as quick as your work..
