5 Ways to Monitor Ethical SEO Services
Getting high ranks on search engines is a must if you want your business to be noticed by target clients. However, great competition attracts unethical SEO practices, in an attempt to gain an edge and bypass laborious ethical SEO practices. Certain unethical or black hat SEO practices can be effective, quick fixes to your search optimization needs, but all they do is provide your website with shortcuts to high ranks that are but short-lived. More than that, unethical SEO practices can get you penalized by search engines, leading to a temporary or permanent blocking of your website on their index or listing.
There should be no question as to whether you should use ethical or unethical SEO practices. Ethical or white hat SEO refers to methods that follow search engine guidelines and the accepted code of conduct when doing search optimization. Ethical SEO aspires to enable websites and web pages to acquire higher ranking on prominent search engines and increase the flow of traffic using ethical techniques—those that modify a website's content so that they match the ranking algorithm of search engines.
It is quite easy to spot unethical SEO practices and distinguish them from ethical ones. Here are ways to monitor ethical SEO services:
- Ethical SEO practices are obvious to visitors, as opposed to unethical practices that often have a hidden agenda.
- Unethical black hat techniques or spam SEO is the exact opposite—they tend to be invisible to average web visitors and are manipulative in nature, so that the website can cheat its way to achieving a higher search ranking. Once detected by search engines, these practices can cause the website to be blacklisted or banned from the listings.
- If you suspect unethical SEO practices from your SEO service, observe common black hat practices like the use of hidden text and links, automated queries, cloaking, and keyword stuffing. All these practices trick search engines into ranking a website higher even when the pages don't have as much substance as they appear to in the eyes of search engine bots. Other common practices to watch out for include Javascript redirects, duplicate content, link farm schemes, security exploitation, affiliate programs, and false doorway pages.
- Ethical SEO on the other hand can be easily recognized. You know you are in safe hands if your SEO provider creates different links for separate web pages, ensures informative and relative content, creates inbound links that are advertised through social media, updates the website regularly with articles, press releases, and/or blogs, exercises correct keyword use, and does not exchange links with low-quality/irrelevant websites.
- The most obvious sign of unethical SEO is a rapid rise to the top of the search results ladder, because ethical SEO practices, by nature, have slower growth, but longer lasting results.
