Black Hat methods will no doubt compromise your business website and in turn hurt your business. Have a look through the following information and conclude for yourself if the SEO expert that you are using is potentially damaging your business.

Hidden Content –

This is content that is not visible to the user of the website. The use of comment tags and no script tags to ensure hidden content is one of the primary Black Hat Seo techniques. The use of coloured text on coloured background and also tiny text is another form of hiding content.

All Black Hat Seo techniques are shunned by search engines, should they detect the use of these methods within your business website. Your business website will be penalised or could even run the risk of having your website removed altogether, from Google’s search engine.

Excessive Meta Description –

A Meta description should contain detailed descriptions on the content of your business website. Meta descriptions should be no longer than one or two sentences.

Filling your Meta description with excessive information can flag your business website up to search engines as promoting spam.

Meta Keywords

Keywords are a brief list of useful and relevant words that alert a search engine to your business website. Excessive use of keywords on each page of your business website can be seen by the search engines as, promoting spam and this is another form of Black Hat Seo.

Gateway Pages

Fake pages that are crammed with content, based on one or two main keywords that link back to landing pages is another form of Black Hat Seo. These methods are used by some SEO companies that are new to the business.

Some are just in it to basically take your money as quickly as possible for putting in as little effort in, these companies will recommend using Gateway Pages. This is not good for your business website and can again lead to your website potentially being, removed from the search engines.

Link Farming

Link Farming is prohibited by search engines, it will not provide anything positive for your business website. They are a list of completely unrelated business websites, that will not generate visitors to your site and if detected by search engines, can again lead to your website being removed.

Link farming is a popular Black Hat Seo method, that is widely used by overseas companies. This is basically a quick fix to Search Engine Optimization, that doesn’t really work in the long term.
