what is gray hat technique in seo?

[nancy07]

Gray hat SEO refers to the techniques that take more risks than a white hat SEO but still not likely to face the wrath of search engines and get banned. Grey hat SEOs generally try to see what they can get away with. The tactics used by grey hat SEOs try to exploit the vulnerabilities in the ranking algorithms followed by search engines like Google and Bing. Even though they are questionable SEO techniques, they are not the same as the black SEO techniques. These techniques though not prohibited by search engines can still get your site into trouble. Search engines may levy other kinds of penalties on sites employing grey hat SEO techniques like search engine ranking penalties.

Examples of grey hat SEO techniques are: Google bombing/washing, spinning/rewriting of articles, reciprocal links, buying old or expired domains, etc. But, it should be remembered that search engines keep on changing their policies and what is classified as a grey hat SEO technique today may be considered as a black hat SEO technique tomorrow.
