How often have we heard the term White Hat SEO thrown around in the digital space?
Now, instead of nodding along at its mention, you’ll know exactly what this phrase means. Allow us to break it down for you:
In short, White Hat SEO uses honest organic techniques to enhance a website’s performance in Google searches for relevant keywords.
That means following the SEO recipe for success without cheating or using any Black Hat SEO shortcuts like keyword stuffing, link buying, or hidden text, which violate search engines’ terms of service. (We’ll be covering Black Hat SEO in a future post, but in the meantime: know that Google is getting better and better at detecting when a site has cheated to get ahead in the search rankings, so don’t do this!)
The whole point of organic search rankings is to display the highest quality, most useful sites near the top. SEO exists as a way of telling search engines which sites these are for a given keyword phrase. White Hat SEO is a collection of techniques that rewards high quality sites with increased rankings, while Black Hat SEO tactics serve solely to increase a page’s search rankings – not to provide quality content.
