    White hat SEO means techniques which are accepted by search engines. In white hat SEO you can include quality and unique content. You can not use any short cut methods in it.

    Black hat tactics are those which the search engines do not consider ethical. Doorway pages, invisible text, keyword overuse all are included in black hat SEO. So one should not use this black hat SEO if you would not sustain in the SEO market.

    Yes white hat is the right way. BUT, it is a fact that black hat works and it works quickly. The difference is that white hat has more staying power whereas the black hat is often a "here today gone tomorrow" optimization. Black hat usually in the long run does not pay off. Do it right the first time and you will be around longer!

    Optimization methods are divided into two classes, so called White hat and Black hat.

    White hat includes optimization without using of prohibited methods and influence on search algorithms. So white hat means the usage and promotion of the website by indication of your link in reviews, press-releases, social networking etc.

    Methods of Black hat means the usage of doorways(pages and resources that are created especially for search engines’ robots; they contains many keywords), cloaking (information that is given to users differs from the information for search robots) and usage of hidden text, single-pixel links.

    White Hat SEO is where rules are followed and approved techniques are used to improve a website search ranking. Black hat is where someone cheats to get the same result.

    Black Hat SEO consists of tactics as spamdexing or techniques forcing the search engines to redirect search results to specific target sites or webpages in a manner that is against the search engines' terms of use, whereas white hat techniques are generally approved by the search engines. Black hat techniques could result in websites eventually being either temporarily banned or permanently deleted, if the search engines figure out what they do.

    Ok well Black Hat SEO is pretty much the "illegal" way to optimize your website. If you use these techniques to optimize your website, you will gain in rankings very fast but will lost them even faster.

    White Hat SEO is the "legal" way to optimize your website. Using these techniques will ensure you long lasting results, however may take much longer to give results.
