Thread: What is grey hat SEO

Has anyone got any idea about Grey hat SEO, I know its in between Whit and black. What exactly do they do for grey hat , how bad is this.

It is a SEO done at the edge of illiberality.

According to me Grey hack basically means the mixture of black hat and white hat. Black hat is the illegal way of doing things, whereas White Hat is the ethical one.

Gray hat SEO is a slang term used by webmasters. It is a technique that falls in between white hat and black hat SEO.

sorry, it is new for me.

Grey Hat as the practice of tactics/techniques which remain ill-defined by all that published material coming out of Google, and for which reasonable people (not White Hat SEOs, mind you, but “reasonable people”) could disagree on how the tactics support or contrast with the “spirit” of Google’s published guidelines.

The following tactics fall in the grey area between legitimate tactics and search engine spam. They include tactics such as cloaking, paid links, duplicate content and a number of others. Unless you are on the correct side of this equation these tactics are not recommended.

Anyone has heard about purple seo?hahaha

Grey Hat SEO is mid-way between the two tools above and is all about the balance between risk and reward. There are actually a wide number of SEO services solutions categorized under this. Some Grey Hat SEO services may tend to use more dubious strategies and take even bigger risks to produce fast and high search engine rankings. While many Gray Hat SEO services methods obey search engine guidelines, others might put you at risk.
Some of the common grey hat techniques are:
1.Paid Links. Paying someone for placing a link to your site on their site or vice versa is a questionable technique.
2.Duplicate Content. Recently, duplicate content on the web has become an increasingly significant problem for both search engines and search engine users.
3.Micro Sites. While this can be a great "white hat" technique when used right, micro sites are being abused by some SEOs.
4.Link buying – Google strictly prohibits link schemes, but sometimes money can change hands for links without it being a scheme.

It should be a seo of the black and white hat seo. But actually it is blog related.

The following tactics fall in the grey area between legitimate tactics and search engine spam. They include tactics such as cloaking, paid links, duplicate content and a number of others. Unless you are on the correct side of this equation these tactics are not recommended.
