SEO Brains in Progress - Black and White

In what’s evolving into something of a collaborative effort, Pablo Palatnik on Palatnikfactor blog has started out with a mindmap analyzing the typical brains of a white hat and a black hat SEO. Good fun stuff.

@Nick: Expectably, I’ll second that (including the wh brain activity bit).

@Andy: Spot on, as usual.

Maybe we could add that Matt Cutts picture in the black hat brain, too - with a bull’s eye overlay. (Nothing personal, heh…)

WH Brain - I want my website to rank
BH Brain - Some of this S#$% might stick

WH Brain - In 12 months you might start ranking
BH Brain - Yesterday isn’t soon enough

Hmm white hats have much less going on in their brains

Seriously though, I’d agree with Ralph about the link buying. I even saw someone called themselves a white-hat link buyer the other day, as they always get them from relevant sites. There’s a load of confusion about that topic (not helped by Google) and most people are smart enough to understand that money comes into the process in one form or another.

The blackhat brain has been updated =). I think hidden text is still in a black hat SEOs mind. Maybe not as used, still def something tried.

Make-an-SEO-Brain as work-in-progress? Great idea!

Some further suggestions:

WH Brain: Dominant factor (maybe in red?) - ETHICS
BH Brain: Dominant factor - AUTOMATION

More BH brain stuff: ‘Hidden text’ is out - suggest replacing with ‘Trackback spam’
‘Doorway pages’ are out, too - suggest replacing with ‘XSS exploits’

WH Brain: ‘Link Buying?’ - with question mark
BH Brain: ‘Link Buying!’ - with exclamation mark

Just a few thoughts. Keep it up!

fixed ftw!

Also, with the blackhat brain I would put “speed” in there. from what i have seen time and speed is almost always a factor with blackhat techniques
