 search engine spam

There is a subtle boundary that distinguishes acceptable search engine optimization practices from the techniques used by spammers. How can you tell the difference between white hat SEO and black hat SEO techniques?

Attendees were given a fairly clear definition of search engine spam from Tim Meyer, product management director of Yahoo Search. Yahoo defines spam as "spam" pages that are intentionally created to give search engines inappropriate, redundant, or poor-quality search results. This is similar to the definitions provided by Google and Bing.
