Google is Rewarding High-Quality Websites
“White hat” search engine optimization practices improve the usability of a website, help create great content, and make sites load faster, which is good for both website visitors and search engines. A bi-product of good SEO is good online marketing. Creating a great website can translate into more people linking to your website and more visitors.
In the pursuit of higher rankings or traffic, many companies use techniques that do not benefit website visitors, where the intent is to look for shortcuts or loopholes that would rank their pages higher that deserved. This is often referred to as “black hat webspam” (not to be mistaken for email spam). Black hat search engine techniques might include:
- keyword stuffing
- link building schemes
- cloaking
- duplicate content
