White Hat Search Engine Optimization

 

White Hat Search Engine Optimization -  White hat SEO techniques are those that are fair and approved, as opposed to Black Hat SEO or Gray Hat SEO. The The SEO Mini-Book and SEO Basics describe White hat SEO techniques and also warn about Black Hat SEO. Generally, White hat techniques are techniques that you would expect Web site owners to practice as a matter of course if they know what they are doing. Gray Hat SEO is usually an extension of certain White Hat techniques in ways that don't increase the utility of a Web site or page for viewers, but do make it more attractive to search engines without adding any real information. All of the following are certainly examples of  White Hat SEO techniques:

Cleaning up needless "garbage" HTML code.

Using full path links.

Including a Site Map.

Building your page around a key phrase or keyword that tells people and search engines what the page is about.

Using meaningful domain, file and path names that tell people and search engines what the page is about.

Making sure your html code is reasonably correct.

Making sure the <Title> tag and the description and keywords metatag contents correspond to what is in the Web page and are not blank or irrelevant.

Linking to authoritative Web sites.

Getting links from other Web sites.

Submitting your site to reputable Web directories.

Including graphic images and using the "alt" attribute.

Using the "title" attribute to give extra information about a link that is not in the anchor text.
