Wouldn't all kind of link building be considered black hat in the eyes of google? I know we as webmasters/seo get away with things on a regular basis, but according to google any link building is no good. Google prefers "Natural" link building, which means letting a site sit and get indexed six months down the road. That is absurdity, what draws the line?
It's an interesting topic to say the least. The way I look at it: Blackhat - Automatic backlinking Grayhat - Manual Backlinking Whitehat - Completely natural, not doing any backlinking on your end.. letting your viewers do the backlinking for you
the internet is a great leveller..that is if everyone follows the rules. we forget google is a business, it's not the only search engine or the only way to build traffic. The can set whatever rules they like - you are the one that needs tokiss there behind if you want tio get into their index really... no likely..no entry...LOL
3 Types of seo Black hat, white hat and grey hat. Google allow only white hat seo. White Hat SEO Techniques :- Submit high pr dofollow site and getting quality backlinks. Submit site mannually. Not use any automated software. Use only quality and fresh content. Black Hat SEO Techniques:- Hidden text, IP delivery, 301 redirects, Cloaking , Paid links, Keyword stuffing, Link farm etc..... Balck hat seo. Don't use this techniques, otherwise Google penalize your site. Grey Hat SEO Techniques:- Use White and Black hat seo both techniques means Grey Hat SEO.
who cares what google say. "natural" is a very subjective term. if you are a legitimate site bringing value and a good user experience to google's users then you can get away with 'pro-actively' promoting your site to the SERPs. if you are using highly deceptive methods to annoy and spam people then you have something to worry about. decent florida dentist wanting to rank for "florida dentist" and buying some highpr links = so what Im'er blackhatting to park domains on searches or redirect people to spam CPAs = bad
@youronlinestuff i disagree with you partially. You have to care about what google thinks is natural. You are in a contract with them if you want to be in their index. It's their index and they decide if you are in or out. Of course you can ignore google and get de-indexed.
