Black hat SEO techniques have a number of characteristics. The first includes the breakage of search engine rules, stipulations and regulations. Black hat techniques also provide a poor user experience, because of the unapproved means that are incorporated in the methods. Black hatters also provide content that are unethical, both visually and non-visually to search engine human visitors and search engine spiders.

Let say there are:
White Hat SEO - who is supposed to be good SEO guy who follow the rule, doing good content and does not spam.
Black Hat SEO - who is exactly opposite to White Hat, they focus on results (which mean getting highest rank as fast as possible) and they do whatever it takes to get rank, that include more spamming and duplicate content.
Grey Hat SEO - the one who do both White Hat and Black Hat, some say Grey Hat SEO is just a black hat disguised themselves as White Hat.
Green Hat - actually I've just heard of this recently and I'm not sure what green hat means.
