Ok, even for someone who has a pretty decent understanding of SEO (I even ghostwrite SEO articles) this was pretty difficult to follow.

In a nutshell, this might be better with step-by-step comparisons, instead of long confusing paragraphs, but I get your point.

In the end, doing things the organic "manual" way, will provide better results all around - although perhaps a bit more expensive and time consuming.

...kinda fits in the "duh" category, but it's good to have it all laid out.

My blog has never been styled like an "SEO for Dummies" book, not that I'm calling you a dummy. Bullet points and step-by-step hand holding have no place on my blog.

Thanks for reading

great post. To many people get caught up in the right, wrong, etc. given the above example, even though we use some technology to show bots and meaties different material, we are congruent between both types of content. Although you could, you are not showing ice cream to the bot and cake to the meatie.

What your post shows is that BH/WH share the same core foundation - links to build the your sites up. If you chose to get them automated or organic, so be it.

Something that should also be considered is the resources you have available and the skills you ahve. If you lean towards the tehcincal side, the auto gen method may be best. If you are a good writer AND are really passionate about your subject, well start writing content.

I believe one of the key advantages of the auotmatic vs. the organic is scale. While the organic method has a smaller learning curve in terms of skills and tactics, the footprint of what you can control with automated methods is absolutley greater than what you could do with organic content production.

Why not create an organic structure, then promote your tertiary white hat blog farms by an artificial means. This way, a lot more traffic goes to the tertiary white hat blog farms and is subsequently filtered to the landing page. That way you maintain your quality leads, increase traffic, as well as increase the link authority to your white hat blog farm.

Yeah absolutely. I didnt discuss promotion of your tertiary sites, which is a beast unto itself.

Understand you don't want to get into white hat black hat debate. I have been reading all the posts from blue hat seo site and starting reading yours. Seems like the difference really is black hat is using automated methods and white hat using manual techniques. Either way, I think what matters most is not what colour the hat is, but rather which works the best.
