    With all the meanings that you already have here for gray hat SEO, Bryana, I just want to say that if you want to play safe in implementing SEO, then just go for white hat. Neither use black or gray hat SEO because you might end up getting caught for things that are considered unethical or ill-defined and might end up suffering for it. So, to make sure, always be on the safe side.

    Gray Hat SEO is all about risk versus reward. Some Gray Hat techniques may be frowned by the search engines, but are not necessarily against their rules, while other techniques may be more risky and should be used only after careful consideration.

    Gray hat SEO is SEO techniques that take more risks than white hat SEO techniques but aren't likely to get your site banned from search engines (although a search engine penality could result). They're questionable SEO techniques but not in the same category as black hat SEO techniques. However, what's considered gray hat SEO today might be black hat SEO next year.

    One way to group these techniques is with hat terminology: white hat SEO, black hat SEO, and gray hat SEO. White hat SEO is considered ethical SEO, while black hat SEO is considered unethical SEO. Gray hat SEO walks the line between the white and black hats of search engine optimization...................................

    To opt means which are not so popular by seo experts, is called gray hat seo. I always think it is fair. You can't be very successful if you don't do some tricks in seo. :)

    Grey hat SEO is the combination of Black hat and White hat SEO. Generally grey hat SEO is done to get website ranked quickly without getting banned from search engines. Grey hat seo should be done with extreme caution else it can end up with severe consequences.

    Gray Hat SEO is about risk versus reward. A large number of SEO solutions are categorized under Gray Hat SEO tools. Some Gray Hat SEO services tend to use more dubious devices and take bigger risks. While some Gray Hat techniques may largely obey search engine rules, others might land you in trouble and need serious consideration and necessary precaution before use. Gray Hat SEO techniques remain ill-defined by all Google SEO guidelines.

    where "black hat" seo tools like cloaking can be used for "Gray Hat" search engine optimization. It is possible to design a site specifically for the search engines, targetting relevant and specific keywords for your market, and then use the cloaking to redirect the visitor to a "human" friendly site that provides them with the information that is relevant to their original search.
    Thus we are using black hat techniques to achieve a white hat seo result, hence the term "Grey Hat" SEO.
