Is It Wise For Search Engine Optimizers To Exploit Search Engine Exploits?
For those of you in SEO consulting you likely have been tempted by the prospect of a few easy ranking loopholes.
It’s certainly possible you’ve put on a grey-hat every once in a while.
No doubt often there are controversy over what’s blue-hat, black-hat, grey-hat, or white-hat. I’d bet there’s some debate concerning the recent launch of the MSN ranking loophole manual about what is really going on there.
The one-page websites themselves do in fact seem to be completely white hat. I should warn you that that to call one particular part of the linking strategy as white-hat is totally ridiculous.
There’s no doubt it’s black hat. Not a thing grey, white, or blue about it.
Luckily you do not have to make use of that linking strategy to get the ranking you are going for in MSN. It is merely a little exploit for individuals who are not afraid of the possible risks it might engender - which honestly - because it targets MSN - probably are not that high since they are so out of the game these days
Certainly it is hard to pass up an opportunity to methodically put up basic one-page minisites that have terrific possibilitiies to rank in the top 3 spots for almost every keyword you try for regularly - and achieving those results quickly.
Simply another system for acquiring low-cost visitors from MSN in addition to Microsoft AdCenter.
If you choose to make use of loopholes you are morally obligated propose them to the client and detail what you are considering doing and the likely downsides involved. If you don’t, you could potentially lose lout on future jobs. And no doubt that is not something you’d be looking forward to.
