SEO Hat Color Pantone which hat color do you belong to White Hat SEO or Black Hat SEO or others)?
In my few months tinkering with SEO, I have heard of 3 mainstream SEOs - the White SEO, the Black Hat SEO and the Gray Hat SEO. But recently I read a nice article about the types of colored hats SEOs can have, which is funny. Take a look at the SEO hat ranges here at TimConverse.com

Here’s my attempt to give SEO’s more than just two or three colors.
Background: A naive (non-SEO) webmaster or content producer simply makes a site, without a thought or a care to the world of search engines. Or if there’s a thought it’s a thought of hopeful trust: if I make a useful interesting site on topic X, then the search engine will figure that out and deliver users who care about X to my site. SEOs and SEO-aware content creators construct sites instead with an eye to how search engines work, and make content that is designed to be retrieved. The white-hat/black-hat continuum is about the extent to which SEOs are working with search engines or against them. Black-hat SEOs are also known as search-engine spammers.
Dark inky black: The SEO’s (or in this case the spammer’s) interests are totally divergent from both the engines and the users…
Charcoal: The SEO tries to trick the engine into showing the user something totally unrelated to the query, and possibly offensive…
Luminescent pearly white: This would be a case where the SEO designs a site to show up for relevant queries and not to show up for irrelevant queries…
