Gray hat SEO is not a combination of white hat SEO and black hat SEO . This group follows the general principles of Google or any search engine, but they do not adhere to the rules and do not limit themselves. That is, if necessary and forced, they carefully bypass Google’s rules in order to be more successful in the results. This group likes both the user and the search engine.
Who is a gray hat SEO?
Gray hat SEO does not sacrifice everything for search engine. If so, it is a black hat SEO. Gray hat SEO may be penalized by search engine. This method has a little risk, but it is not as dangerous and ugly as black hat SEO methods .
In my personal opinion, there are no good articles about gray hat SEO on the web. This style is not as bad as friends write. An example may explain my point better. Overtaking on the right is prohibited in the traffic rules and has a fine. do you agree? But suppose you are stuck behind a heavy car on a deserted road and you have to overtake on the right. This will move you forward and you will reach your destination faster. Are you ready to overtake?
You understand what I mean. This method of SEO , which is sometimes wrongly defined, is not that dangerous. You may not believe it, but many people use gray hat techniques without knowing, and they don’t even know that these methods are against Google’s rules. Like link building. Because according to Google, links should be earned, not made.
Black hat SEO methods are extremely harmful for the site and in the end, they bring nothing but a drop in traffic and penalties. But in the gray hat method , the goal is not to grow the site quickly. Just trying to take shortcuts to get higher results sooner.
For example, advertising reporting is a gray hat technique. Or buying links for the site is also a gray hat method in SEO. If Google notices these actions, it will penalize the site in question. But if the techniques are implemented correctly, the site will experience good growth.
SEO has always been controversial. Both in Iran and outside Iran. I believe that good results can be obtained in gray hat SEO if it is not extreme and the user is not forgotten. If not, we have joined the Jirga of the black SEO community.
I strongly reject black hat SEO techniques. But using gray hat methods are acceptable as long as they don’t bother the user and the search engine.
