Difference between White Hat/Black Hat?
-
Hey guys can you elaborate the difference between the White Hat and Black hat,
White Hat: Getting Backlink form the relevant website that's look general and Anchor tag is also look natural.
Black Hat: Getting a backlinks from different Niche like Unionwell from High DA website, and getting Link,
I realize this is the difference but I need some confirmation may be I'm wrong because I'm newbie in SEO Link Building.

BlackHat SEO uses unethical practices to increase a site's ranking, such as keyword stuffing and link farming. WhiteHat SEO optimizes websites using legitimate methods, like content enhancement and user-friendly interfaces. Prefer WhiteHat as it's sustainable SEO , protects your reputation, and avoids penalties from search engines.

Nothing better than understanding Google quality guidelines.
Anything that goes against these guidelines can be considered Black Hat

Black Hat SEO includes tricks which are totally disallowed from Google and other search engines. It can although bring you on top in SERPs but it will be temporary. Black Hat includes automatic article generating, Poor Backlinks.White Hat SEO is the one which is acceptable by Google and helps in ranking permanently. For example, On-Page SEO practice on your site.
Black Hat will be waste of time but White Hat will make sales for your website.

How good/bad the exit intent pop-ups? What is Google's perspective?
Hi all, We have launched the exit intent pop-ups on our website where a pop-up will appear when the visitor is about to leave the website. This will trigger when the mouse is moved to the top window section; as an attempt by the visitor to close the window. We see a slight ranking drop post this pop-up launch. As the pop-up is appearing just before someone leaves the website; does this making Google to see as if the user left because of the pop-up and penalizing us? What is your thoughts and suggestions on this? Thanks

Why does Google recommend schema for local business/ organizations?
Why does Google recommend schema for local business/ organizations? The reason I ask is I was in Structed Data Testing Tool, and I was running some businesses and organizations through it. Yet every time, it says this "information will not appear as a rich snippet in search results, because it seems to describe an organization. Google does not currently display organization information in rich snippets". Additionally, many of times when you do search the restaurant or a related query it will still show telephone number and reviews and location. Would it be better to list it as a place, since I want to have its reviews and location show up thanks? I would be interested to hear what everyone else opinions are on this thanks.

Is this proposal white hat or likely to harm me in the long run?
Hi, I'm considering outsourcing some SEO to a company I got a first month trial sweetener deal with. I've not done this before and am a little unsure about what they propose doing, not sure if I'm being a bit paranoid or too controlly. Details of what they propose: Send them 10 keywords we're interested in ranking for. Work they will perform:

5 social networks created Work and ranking report highlighting what has been done at the end of the month. Most of the stuff I've done already or can do myself. The elements that make me a bit suspicious are the: - 1 article plus 19 spun variations? 5 social networks created? What does that even mean? I did get this for about £20 for the 1st month with no commitment afterwards so I am tempted to let them try. But should I be a bit wary it might do more harm than good in the long run? Any advice\opinions would be much appreciated.0
