The only difference is a "search engine's guidelines." If you follow a search engine guidelines while doing SEO, it's called white hat SEO and if you don't follow the search engine's guidelines it's called Black hat SEO. White hat SEO will provide long term sustainable results where as Black hat SEO can lead to your website getting penalized.
