    Black Hat SEO involves with unnatural activities bump up in traffic. Too many back links in a short period, too many anchor texts with same keyword as anchor etc. Be aware of these techniques as you may get banned by bigG and others.

    White Hat SEO is trying to design web pages for a real user, while Black Hat SEO is trying to fool the search engines, and could get your site de-indexed

    White Hat SEO – If you want to stay in the good graces of major search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, stick to white hat SEO in your blog and website content. White hat SEO involves using a few relevant keywords or phrases in your tags, quality content with the relevant tags used throughout, inbound linking, and SEO-friendly headlines for blog or website’s pages.

    Black Hat SEO – This type of search engine optimization is not recommended. Black hat SEO involves stuffing your tags with an overabundance of keywords, many of which are not relevant to your blog or website. Black hat SEO users will often hide keywords on their website and engage in link farming, which is exchanging links with other websites to boost your site’s ranking. Basically, you’re trying to trick search engines into thinking your site is popular and visited regularly.
