1 . Features and Techniques Used

Black hat SEO techniques usually include characteristics that break search engine rules and regulations, create poor user experience, unethically present content in different visual and non-visual ways to search engine spiders and human users. Black hat SEO practices can yield quick results but there is also a higher risk of penalty if discovered. Black hat SEO is a short-sighted solution to the long term problem of organic search traffic. 

Black Hat SEO techniques Include:

Spamdexing Keyword Stuffing Invisible Text Doorway Pages  Invisible iFrames

Spamdexing : -

  which is the practice of repeating unrelated phrases to manipulate the relevancy or prominence of resources indexed by a search engine.

Keyword Stuffing

This includes packing long lists of keywords without proper formation .

Invisible Text : -

This is the placing of keywords in white text on a white background in order to attract search engine spiders.

Doorway Pages  : -

This is a fake page that user never gets to see. This is constructed only for search engine spiders so as to trick them into indexing the site higher.

Invisible iFrames : -

The page visible to user need not belong to company hosting the webpage. These are used to download software on to user’s computer in background without user’s knowledge.

White Hat SEO is creating content for users and not search engines. Its main aim is to promote accessibility. White hat SEO not only follows all SEO guidelines but ensures that all content indexed by search engines is the same as the content that a human user will see. It focuses on readability, relevance of content, well-structured and well-written content that will be useful to people who read it. It also focuses on cross-linking pages internally on a website where appropriate, as well as building relevant inbound links from trusted sources.

2 . Effectiveness of white hat vs black hat SEO : -

SEO is part science, part art. There is a wide range of opinion[1][2] in the SEO practitioner community regarding the effectiveness of white hat vs black hat techniques. Most agree that white hat techniques take longer to improve search rankings

3 . Consequences of Black hat vs White hat SEO : -

Even though quick results make black hat SEO tempting, it can get your site banned (de-indexed) or heavily penalized for use of unethical practices. It is widely believed that the risk is not worthwhile for websites that plan to be operational over the long haul. Moreover black hat SEO methods give only short term results. White hat SEO can get your site ranked higher by use of ethical techniques, good content, appropriate keywords and a combination of smart marketing angles providing long lasting results.

Panda : -

Google's Panda update rewards websites that have high-quality content. After this algorithm update, low-quality pages on the site affected not just the ranking for those pages but for the entire website.

Penguin : -

Google's Penguin update was targeted specifically at black hat SEO techniques using which some website owners had accumulated thousands of links from "link farms". Thousands of such websites were penalized due to the Penguin update.

Webmasters were encouraged to remove bad links pointing to their site.

In some cases, they were able to do so successfully but often webmasters cannot control who links to them.

Negative SEO : -

Because you cannot control who links to your site, it's possible for a competitor to pay link farms to point "bad links" to your website from poor-quality sites. Google's algorithms could penalize you for these links, which would hurt your search engine rankings. Bing has a tool that lets webmasters disavow bad links pointing to their website but Google does not. Some analysts have criticized Google for letting their algorithm be gamed with negative SEO.
