<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><iframe src="https://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seopositiveltd.co.uk%2Fblog%2Fbenefits-of-white-hat-seo&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>It is a known fact that there are two results or outcome in <a href="/">SEO</a> one is success that is generated after several months or even a year. Truly <a href="../search-engine-optimisation">search engine optimisation</a> would entail patience and proper approaches. However, there are those who instantly get result from their SEO campaign and this outcome is a product of what is called as Black hat SEO. Black Hat SEO utilises several techniques that maybe bordering between getting banned from search engines of to getting the desired results. Many of those who desperately need of a ranking would resort to such black hat techniques however it is important to note that there are several benefits of white hat SEO that could not be delivered or given by any Black hat SEO technique. White Hat SEO or sometimes known as the ethical SEO although would require months to accomplish or to see the effects of the implementation of such SEO technique the benefits are astronomical.</p>
<p>One of the benefit that one can gain from White Hat SEO is the longevity of the result of the SEO campaign. When a website reaches a desired SEO goal the effect could be lasting because of the fact that the foundation of the SEO strategies implemented are strong. Changes in the ranking may only be due to search engine algorithm change or due to emergence of stronger competition but the effects may only be minimal giving the site within range on the number one spot in the search engine results page.</p>
<p>Second benefit that can be taken from using purely white hat SEO is the building of trust. For the website owner trust can be established because of the fact that the ranking of the website was achieved only through honest SEO techniques.</p>
<p>Finally and probably the most important benefit of white hat SEO is the fact that you will have peace of mind, knowing that there are no reasons or causes for your website to be banned or suspended which could throw out your website ranking.</p>
