White hat and black hat are terms that take us back to the days of cowboys and the wild west were the good guys wore white hats and the bad guys wore black hats. White hat SEO is the practice of conforming to all rules and regulations for good practices set in place by the major search engines. Black hat SEO practices are those that are ethically “grey” and may not be approved by the big three search engines. Black hat techniques often include the use of link farms and keyword stuffing. SeoTuners is 100% white hat and none of our practices will ever place your website at risk. The safety and credibility of our clients’ websites is always our number one priority.

A link farm is a group of organized websites with many links pointing at other websites in the same farm. A link farm is used to spam the search engine indexes and gain higher ranks for the sites in the farm. Link farms are not a search engine approved method of increasing ranking and joining a link farm could be potentially risky to your site. Many of the cut rate SEO services and “too good to be true” SEO websites will deceptively use link farms to get you ranked. SeoTuners does NOT employ the use of link farms as it is a black hat practice. SeoTuners is 100% white hat and our links are built naturally through manual submissions.

Keyword stuffing is the practice of overusing a particular keyword on a website with the expectation that it will increase the rankings of said keyword. Keyword stuffing is often done in deceptive manner so as the extra content cannot be seen by the web browser but still read by the search engines. Keyword stuffing puts your website at risk for repercussions from the search engines such as lower ranks or getting banned. SeoTuners does NOT employ the use of keyword stuffing as it is a black hat practice. SeoTuners is 100% white hat and our keyword density is achieved by employing professional writers to develop relevant content pertaining to your keywords.
