White Hat SEO describes the ethical practices used to optimize a website in order to achieve optimal online visibility. The technique refers to the use of tactics and SEO strategies that focus on a human audience (as opposed to just the search engines) and follows search engines rules and policies. White Hat SEO requires more time to generate results, but the improved rankings remain stable over an extended period of time, promoting long term SEO results and being the most effective process of website optimization

Black Hat SEO looks to achieve high rankings in the search engines, but uses techniques and strategies that are determined as unethical and that do not comply with the search engines rules and policies. It is perceived as an aggressive SEO tactic that can generate quick results that usually do not last long and could lead to getting your website banned or penalized by search engines.
