Black Hat SEO - Stuffing or Spamming Meta Tags
Stuffing or spamming your Meta tags does nothing for your search results except flag your site as one using black hat SEO. Search engines are always on the lookout for spammed Meta tags. For example, let's say an online pet store called Fiction Pets is stuffing its Meta tags. The site's black hat Meta keywords might read:
<meta name="keywords" content="fiction pets, pets, dogs and cats, pet stores, dogs, cats, lizards, birds, dog collars, hamster cages, jessica alba, fish, dog shampoo, dog treats, bird seed, good dogs, bad dogs, nice kitty">
Its stuffed Meta description might read:
<meta name="description" content="Fiction Pets is the best pet store of all the pet stores. You've never seen a pet store like Fiction Pets. best pet stores, good pet stores, visit pet stores, contact pet stores">
White Hat SEO - Choose a Solid Keyword Phrase
Research your keyword phrase. Choose a solid keyword phrase that accurately represents your page and use it in your Meta tags. An example of Meta keywords:
<meta name="keywords" content="online pet store, fiction pets, pet supplies, pets store, pet supply store">
A white hat Meta description could be:
<meta name="description" content="Fiction Pets is an online pet store with a full line of pet supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish and more. Our pet supply store can help you get everything you need for all of your pets.">

Black Hat SEO - Hidden Content
There are many ways to hide content on your site. All of them are black hat SEO methods.
Hidden content includes white text full of keywords on a white background. Another black hat SEO method is using comment tags to hide keywords. For example:
<!--hidden content, hidden content is bad, hidden content in comment tags is bad--!>
White Hat SEO - Quality Content
Content that targets a strong, related keyword phrase on each page wins every time. After you've chosen your keyword phrase, use it consistently throughout the page. For example, a page with a Meta title of "White Hat SEO - White Hat SEO methods" could have this first paragraph of content:
White hat SEO is the key to effective search engine optimization. If you're not using white hat SEO methods, none of your SEO techniques will be effective.
• Linking
Black Hat SEO - Link Farming
The idea behind link farming is that you exchange links with other websites to boost your site's rank in search results. Search engines like Google examine how many sites are linking to yours when determining rank.
With a link farm, you've traded your link with many sites for the sole purpose of increasing your site's search rank. In effect, you're trying to fool the search engine into thinking your site is more popular than it really is.

PROOF? "My 12 years old friend said so" isn't a proof, by the way.

Hello i have to say Black hat methods is the way to index your your links fast but later they are deindex also and white hat is a method to get your site page-ranks and increase visitors.

thanks!!

I would say white hat seo as the best technique for doing search engine optimization.

Yes, Google and their Penguin update has almost eliminated any prospects that black hat techniques will be of any help. SEO changes have been massive in the past three months. It is advisable to read a few good articles regarding the latest techniques to comply with the changes which could greatly effect your Google rankings.

Sorry for the dbl. post. Is there a post delete on this site. It seems to be eluding me if that feature does exist.
