Pink Hat SEO
Yesterday, I was out with a friend (slash business contact) for a possible SEO project consultancy with one of his clients. On the way home, we talked about SEO stuff, which, surprisingly, is still a foreign language to him considering he has been a blogger, and a web developer for quite a number of years already. From on-page optimization, to linkbuilding, to SEO Philippines, to Black Hat SEO, to my personal linkbuilding tactics, etc, we had a fun time discussing and learning from each other.
At one point, we discussed about the differences between Black Hat, White Hat, and Grey Hat techniques.
- Black Hat SEO — methods to try to improve rankings that are disapproved of by the search engines and/or involve deception. This includes keyword stuffing, hidden keywords, comment spamming, etc.
- White Hat SEO — conforms to the search engines’ guidelines and/or involves no deception. This include publishing unique and fresh content, and getting legitimate links, etc.
- Grey Hat SEO — falls somewhere in between. Sometimes there’s a thin line between what’s legal and not. As they say, in SEO, there’s always a grey area too. :P
But you know what’s really working for me right now (and the past months)?
- Pink Hat SEO — linkbuilding achieved through distributing pink and girly wordpress themes; and being all pa-cute and charming, posting pa-cute pictures of yourself, and uploading pa-cute podcasts to get more traffic, and doing personal favors in exchange for backlinks. And then, there’s twittering pseudo-emo posts that aim to spark fellow twitterers’ curiousity, making them visit your site just in case you posted a more elaborate story about what you posted in twitter just about five minutes ago. (Face it — women have the potential to RULE the SEO Industry. Bwahaha.)
With Pink Hat SEO, before you know it, you have a network of lurkers who would either talk about you behind your back, or visit your site out of sheer curiosity. Whatever the case, you get traffic anyway. :P
Pink Hat SEO? One more thing that I haven’t tried yet :)
Sounds like an interesting technique. ;) In fact, that sounded way beyond SEO, it’s more of like a marketing idea.
If “Pink Hat SEO” becomes an accepted method in the SEO industry, let it be put on record that I was with the inventor when she thought of that term. That’s a great honor. :D
i didn’t know there was a Grey Hat SEO… i thought, either you’re just a black or a white… hmmm… a new idea… thanks!! :D
mukhang i have potential here ha! hahaha
In-add nga pala kita sa Twitter. I do receive updates on my mobile phone. Wala. Kunyari importanteng sabihin ‘yan.
Du’n din ako sa Pink SEO. Para mataray.
hahahah Pink Hat SEO pala ang tawag dun sa girly stuffs. I’ve seen a lot and I think they’re effective.
Girls are really scheming… hehehe! Pink is the name of the game na ba ito? :)
[…] like this definition of Pink SEO better personally. Pink SEO is something that is practiced by both men and women, and it is perfect […]
hahaha! nice link bait! No one had ever thought of it! Di kaya pambading yan?!
