White hat SEO improves search performance in search engine results pages (SERPs) while strictly following the terms and conditions of Google search engine rules and guidelines. It also tries to create friendly and useful user experiences.

Black hat SEO doesn’t adhere to the terms and conditions of Google search engine rules and guidelines and/or tries to manipulate Google algorithms to get high rankings and traffic volume. The problem with this is, as soon as Google finds out, all your work is lost, You can completely disappear from rankings, and even get your website banned from Google.
