Thinking some more about the whole White Hat / Black Hat issue.
I mentioned in a previous post that I am link building for a particular sales page and opt-in page and that I am using some techniques that for the moment at least I’m not discussing here.
A little earlier I was making a list of business models that I may want to use along with my Business partner Kathy Baker over the next few months.
One very simple model was well described by …whasisname? The guy who…
To help my poor old memory out I used a search phrase that I knew would get to him…the title of his product.
Lo and behold there was my article reviewing the product on the first page of the Google search pages.
The point of all this is to remind me and perhaps you that very simple white hat methods work

PS The search phrase I used had 3 words and had 250, 000 competing web pages when searched without quotes.

There has been quite a spate of spats lately concerning what is and is not legitimate in promoting one’s sites and blogs.
I have the general notion that whatever works works and if I can push a button and get loads of links and visitors (and Ad revenue) then I will push the button every day.
Twice on some days!
Calling some techniques Black hat and others White Hat is not helpful. Google says that we should get other sites to link to ours.
The issue is what we do to make that happen. Google in it’s silliness thinks that sites will naturally link to us when they see our superior content.
Dream on!
Other sites that matter are commercial rivals and they are supposed to link to me?
This notion was dreamed up by academics living in fairy land and not living in the real world.
- Fact is if ya want links you got to go web 2.0 sites and put articles there which have a link in them.
- Fact is that ya got to write articles and put them in article directories.
- Fact is that you have to do forum posts that have a sig’ files that link back to you.
Of course the nasty “NoFollow” tag is present in some of these sites. Actually that does not matter much because people can still click on my link and visit my site
And that is what I want.
If that means I’m a Black Hat then that’s fine!

P.S. Fact is that I did not list some of the most effective techniques – typical secretive Black Hat tactics huh?
PPS What is your view of the whole White Hat SEO /Black Hat SEO debate?
