White hat or black hat make more money?

[essenze]

Hi, do whitehat webmasters or blackhat webmasters make more money in the long term?

Neither, Gray-hats do.

Simple reason. They are white-hat affluent enough with the over-world corporate logistics and politics to operate in the mainstream economy and black-hat savvy to realize that the ultimate ends justify the profitable means.

Anytime a system of making money is involved laws will be put in place to continually widdle down that system until it becomes too saturated with red-tape to give it any serious thought for a productive means of earning any profits.

well it depends

if yu're operating on your own with no resources then go black

if you have backing go white

All SEO is Black Hat. Think about it. Either way, you're just trying to influence the search engines so they'll favor you.

There is a lot of money to be made in the gray area.

For me personal I make much more doing white than black, but that means there's lots of growth and opportunity in black hat for me.

Depends on how you want to compare

A WH site will make u money over long periods of time, and if your any good, it will grow each year

A BH will make u money quickly but not for very long, as google will ban you at some stage

I hate it when people say that. Black Hat is defined as unethical whereas White Hat is not.

white/grey hat is the long term good choice. a lot less pointless running around after algorithm tweaks.

the right black hat scheme can bring in a lot of short term cash though.

Black HAT !!!!! I thought this forum was about Black CATS !!!!!

 

[jerseychump]

yeah - gray is best - find the right mix for you!

This is a very complicated question despite the answers people are giving. More money long term or on an per/hour work base?

 

[essenze]

I believe in all SEO, there will be some black hat techniques used, like using stumbled upon, social bookmarkers... are these black hats techniques?

 

[depraved]

Personally I think all big money white hatter's sprinkle a little black hat into their strategy. So yes, gray hat all the way

 

[essenze]

Yes..light grey..80% white and 20% black , haha....

 

[thyui]

100% black then buy 100% white hat sites

I believe finding the right mix, will be a better long term solution, a bit of this and a bit of that will go a long way.

Whoever is more advanced.
Good question would be is the person who earns the most money on the internet white or black hat?

 

[essenze]

what is most money? who makes $10,000 a month? are you a white or black hat or grey?
