Thanks for notice me about SEO tips, your are right about “Honesty is the question of right and wrong, not matter of policy”, many SEOers use backhat tips to get rank higher to their blog and I think they are wrong. SEO is the best way but not all.
I think if you’re a consulting company doing SEO for another company, you gotta be ethical and honest in your approaches.
But if you’re an individual and doing SEO for yourself, you don’t have to be ethical, just look at AirBnB.

Well said. The SEO industry today is full of SEO’s using automated tools and breaking all ethics thinking they will get away with it. It’s causing harm to their clients websites and clients profits. Its important to be ethical when it comes to this service.
It really pays to play by the rule, maybe not in short term but you can definitely outrank all people who cheat their way to the top over time.
Although most things were evident, I think that this list of ethics is a good idea and it should be followed. Maybe in this case we will forget about spamming and spammers.
Every SEO company should print this out and post this on each of their SEO marketer/writer’s cubicle/station, don’t you think?

I like this guide, because it includes do’s and don’t in SEO. Let me say it with simple words. Ethic SEO guarantee long term results, black hat works for short term and can cause ban for long time.
awesome list, must have to follow to achieve top ranking in search engine’s with quality result.
Agree with arthurprudentt777 – who will verify the software and what if tomorrow google change his algorithm?
just want to say keep the quality of work that more important than any thing else
Thanks for sharing information

There is a current code of ethics certificate you can follow and post if you provide SEO services. Some of the big companies use this, but most of all following the code of ethics above is a good thing. Thanks for the list of ethics we all should follow.

nice tips and precuations which need to be nhandled while doing seo thanks
Thank you for giving some excellent tips on seo ethics! It really helps a lot especially the beginners!
Thanks for the guidelines, Shiva. I personally try my best to stick to whitehat methods as well. Google is pretty smart – make one unethical mistake and you can be doomed for good if you’re caught. It’s just not worth the risk, when you can use white hat methods guilt-free and while making sure your actions are only leading to constructive results.
Best regards,
Jack.
