different between white hat and black hat seo?

[Donna]

As Snap and Booze both said, White Hat SEO techniques and practices confirm to the guidelines set out by search engines. Black hat SEO techniques and practices do not. Nick provides examples of both.

The big difference between white and black hat techniques is risk and expense. Black hat techniques are often fast and easy to implement. You can see results quickly and for little expense. Problem is, if you are discovered your site will be penalized and potentially banned. At the very best, you will have to undo the offensive work and replace it with something search engine sanctioned. What previously looked inexpensive, now becomes expensive. What previously looked easy, now becomes complicated. If you need to get a loved one to the hospital in a hurry, would you rather get in your car and drive way over the speed limit ignoring all rules of the road and put yourselves and others at risk, or would you rather call an ambulance knowing the wait will produce a better outcome?
