SEO Strategy

 

You can be a good guy or a bad guy when it comes to SEO, the most effective SEO is somewhere in the middle, don’t be too good or you simply won’t get anywhere, don’t be too bad or the Google police will catch you and lock you up, (not literally).

What we’re talking about here is Black Hat SEO and White Hat SEO, somewhere in the middle is called Grey Hat SEO. Black Hat SEO still works very well and is quite effective when done properly however it doesn’t add value to your website in the way White Hat and Grey hat SEO does and Black Hat SEO leaves your website at risk of being penalised.

 

Black Hat SEO

Black Hat SEO uses SEO software that gives your websites high DA backlinks, “fake” clicks and higher ranking for the keywords your targeting, it can be very effective for higher competition keywords.

White Hat SEO  

The main focus of white Hat SEO is on the content, quality shareable content that will keep real, active and valuable users on your website for long periods of time, boosting your SEO rankings.

Grey Hat SEO

Grey Hat SEO focuses on mixing both these methods together for superfast SEO results.
