Today&#8217;s terminology is based too much on ethical principles<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The words used to describe and discuss SEO tactics matter.<\/p>\n<p>Their implications influence the decisions made by SEO professionals and their clients or employers.<\/p>\n<p>With the terminology of the black and white hat, the implications are clear: under this model, a SEO strategy is either right or wrong.<\/p>\n<p>But whose ethical standards do these terms reflect?<\/p>\n<p>The SEO definitions of black, grey and white hats are derived from Google&#8217;s guidelines and the actions that Google allows or penalizes.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the terms spread the ethical values that Google wants users to adopt.<\/p>\n<p>But since when is Google an authority on ethics and morality?<\/p>\n<p>Apart from a Google penalty here and there: what prevents companies from determining their own SEO standards?<\/p>\n<h6><strong>2.\u00a0 Current terminology creates unnecessary limitations<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Although SEO professionals operate within a Google-centric system, they ultimately serve their company or clients, not Google.<\/p>\n<p>However, the black, gray and white hat SEO concept revolves around Google&#8217;s rules; not your company&#8217;s results.<\/p>\n<p>Too often, SEO professionals make strategic decisions to adhere to the rule book; even if the decision goes against your company&#8217;s interests.<\/p>\n<p>But SEO professionals need to think outside the box that Google has created.<\/p>\n<p>Just because a strategy goes against Google&#8217;s guidelines doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s useless in every situation.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning SEO professionals, in particular, fall prey to the black-and-white understanding of SEO strategy perpetuated by this terminology.<\/p>\n<p>When they watch the video tutorials and read the articles of renowned SEO industry leaders who use these terms, they accept the distinctions to the letter.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the black-and-white dichotomy discourages them from investigating a tactic and discerning for themselves whether it is feasible, limiting their capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Current terminology does not take into account the transformations of search engines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The concept of black and white SEO hats has been around for years, at this point it is difficult to determine when the terms entered the industry lexicon.<\/p>\n<p>Google Search&#8217;s ranking algorithms, on the other hand, are continually changing.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, some SEO strategies have become obsolete, and new strategies continue to emerge to keep pace with changing algorithms and new technology.<\/p>\n<p>When Google modifies its ranking algorithms and changes its guidelines, it can make specific SEO tactics more or less effective or compliant.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Google webmaster trend analyst John Mueller said in a Google webmaster video that nofollow links do not pass the PageRank.<\/p>\n<p>Then, three months later, Mueller said, &#8220;I think we&#8217;re already in that state where we&#8217;re essentially using nofollow as a signal. It&#8217;s not the case that we always completely ignore those links.<\/p>\n<p>So, if a SEO professional uses the guest blog as a link building tactic, should they include dofollow or nofollow links to their site?<\/p>\n<p>Does the passage of PageRank through nofollow links now make guest blogging with dofollow links a black hat strategy?<\/p>\n<p>These questions illustrate the rigidity of outdated terminology that does not take into account algorithmic change.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>The new evolution<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The system that uses color-coded hats to symbolize the concepts of <a href=\"\/?p=19113\">SEO<\/a> hats has obvious flaws, but what is the alternative?<\/p>\n<p>SEO professionals still need a way to convey the level of risk and reward associated with ranking strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of using the current black and white distinctions to classify ranking methods, SEO professionals should use quantitative metrics to understand and evaluate the results of a tactic.<\/p>\n<p>With this weight on their shoulders, the best SEO professionals are those who see beyond the black and white terminology, learn from trial and error, and put their company&#8217;s needs first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know the SEO hats and the rating they give to each one.
