			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>If you&#8217;re in SEO consulting you possibly have been drawn towards using of various seo loopholes.</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve gone grey on more than one occasion.</p>
<p>No doubt often there are arguments over what is grey-hat, white-hat, blue-hat, or black-hat. I&#8217;d think there&#8217;s a bit of heated conversations about the quick launch of the MSN ranking loophole infoproduct concerning whether the system is really as white-hat as the authors claim.</p>
<p>The 1 page sites actually do in fact appear to be truly white hat. I should warn you that that to claim a particular part of the linking techniques as white-hat is completely ridiculous.</p>
<p>Of course it&#8217;s not white hat. There&#8217;s nothing grey, white, or blue about it.</p>
<p>It should be said though you don&#8217;t have to use that strategy to get the ranking you want in MSN. It is merely a exploit for optimizers who are not afraid of the possible risks it might engender &#8211;  which seriously &#8211; because it&#8217;s targeting MSN &#8211; really are not that  significant seeing as the MSN search engine is quickly losing ground now</p>
<p>No doubt it is tough to pass up an opportunity to rapidly load up  basic one page microsites that have great possibilitiies for ranking in the top 3 spots for almost every single keyword phrase you try to get rankings for on a regular basis &#8211; and getting those rankings rapidly.</p>
<p>Simply one more may way for acquiring low-cost visitors from MSN in addition to AdCenter.</p>
<p>If you choose to use search engine ranking exploits you are obligated to go over them with your client and detail what you are thinking of doing and the likely risks they create. If you do not, you you might lose not only your repuation, but also your career. And I would think that&#8217;s not what you you want to happen.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line</strong>:</p>
<p>If an SEO Consultant wants to use grey hat (marginal) or black hat (against search engine TOS) they shouldn&#8217;t use it on a clients web site. If you are doing something like that you are risking your clients hard earned dollars on something that will most likely only work for a little bit but doesn&#8217;t add to the long term value of the clients business&#8230;DON&#8217;T DO IT!</p>
