"Gray hat" means "we know we're cheating, but we haven't been caught yet". It usually involves things like content farming (autoblogging) with content from more than one site, hiding paid links in a series of "shell networks" (similar to "shell corporations" used to hide taxation and legal liabilities), paywalling content that search engines can index, bait-and-switch pages using clever techniques that get around Google's content-swap autodetect, and so on. It's exactly the same as "black hat", except that you might be able to get away with it for a couple of weeks longer before you get sent back to page 10,820 on the results list (or blocked altogether). And once Google has given you a spanking, it takes a long, long time and a lot of work to get back up to where you should have been in the first place.

You want to do SEO? Start with good content. Make that content accessible and discoverable with good design (that includes the design of the HTML). Use sparse but on-message metadata (keywords and description -- they matter, but ONLY if you do it right). Keep the content fresh. Market (including so-called "SMO") without spamming. If you have something people want AND you work hard at getting that message out there, you get organic SEO, which is the only kind with staying power.

When Store Coach mentions gray hat SEO here on the Store Coach website he is referring to SEO methods that are in the "gray area" between black hat & white hat. gray hat SEO would be techniques that are questionable. For example, creating your own private SEO blog network would be considered "gray hat" SEO. We would classify it as gray hat because you are creating unnatural backlinks with this technique which is "black hat", but the content of your private blogs is topically-related and it's useful content which is "white hat".

Grey hat seo is nothing but the combination of black hat and white hat seo techniques.

Gray hat SEO is SEO techniques that take more risks than white hat SEO techniques but aren't likely to get your site banned from search engines. What’s considered gray hat SEO today might be black hat SEO next year. Some grey hat techniques are:
Using paid links
Publishing duplicate content at different sites
Unnatural keyword density

...or next week.

Some grey hat techniques are:
Using paid links
Publishing duplicate content at different sites
Unnatural keyword density
Those are all considered "black hat" by Google and heavily penalized upon discovery..

Some Gray Hat SEO services tend to use more dubious devices and take bigger risks.They're questionable SEO techniques but not in the same category as black hat SEO techniques.
