White Hat SEO vs. Black Hat SEO
You won't find tempers flaring in this interesting post, "Black Hat vs. White Hat Search Spam Debate", a public, and polite, discourse between Earl Gray, a "self-proclaimed professional Search engine spammer" and randfish, a "self-proclaimed professional white-hat SEO":
"What follows is the text of nine back and forth e-mail dialogues that touch on many of the most contentious and important issues surrounding the ethics, practicality and financial issues of the two different styles of optimization techniques.
Both of us attempted to approach this without hostility or preconceived notions of the others point of view, and in the end achieved a great rapport. I hope that this dialogue can serve as an example of how people with radically opposing viewpoints can converse openly and without contention.Sections in this Report:
