SEO tactics are not always honest this has spawned the negative aspects of SEO. Keyword spamming or stuffing is just the tip of the iceberg. Some firms use methods called invisible keyword stuffing. What is invisible text? Invisible text is text with the same text color as the background of the pages. There are many ways to make text invisible. One of the ways of using invisible keywords is by making the keywords the same color as the page; if the page is white you make the text white. The text or a link is invisible to the naked eye on a web page, but are seen by spiders. Since the invisible text is read by the search engine crawlers the text or keywords are picked up and indexed. Invisible keyword-rich text in page code is old news to search-engine spiders, they are more advanced and can recognize when a page is using keyword stuffing. The other types of black techniques are content spamming which includes meta tag stuffing and implementing gateway or doorway pages. Some older content on websites could be considered keyword stuffing due to overuse of the keywords. Yet a website's content still plays an enormous and fairly direct role in search engine ranking. Add new content or webpage’s daily or weekly to increase a search engine spider's frequency. Web content keyword optimization is one of the most important step in SEO. Make sure your site is full of unique, high-quality content. Make sure your meta keywords and meta description tags reflect the true meaning of your site and is not simply hidden keyword stuffing. When search engines index the content, the content will be analyzed by the search engine, it could be interpreted as an unapproved technique which will then get your pages de-indexed. Content is the most important part of optimizing your web site for search engines. Try to write the content naturally for the readers rather than the search engines. Good content brings return visitors who may eventually link to your site. If you are going to promote your website you should stick to white hat SEO methods and recognizing that the black hat SEO tactics which are quick and dirty techniques will not help your business in the long run.
