hard to answer - since many methods are borderline..
cloaking for example is blackhat and will get you banned -

built a site and start getting links by directory submission and article marketing is considered whitehat

a black hat seo is all the techniques which makes your website to get banned by the google like keyword stuffing , title spamming and hidden text etc. a white hat seo is the fair technique to promote your website and to get in higher positions in the major search engines. you write the unique content and not do any thing which is illegal..the grey hat seo id the combination of black hat and the white hat seo which the most of the seo follow today..in which they do some legal things as well as some illegal things to promote their websites...

Hi,

White hat

White Hat SEO means optimizing your site by using methods that strictly follow the recommendations or guidelines set out by the search engines (The Good Guys). White Hat SEOs are good people worthy of reciprocal link exchanges (especially third-party exchanges), raving blind testimonials, and unconditional support. White hat techniques are accepted as ethical and useful long term .

Black hat

Black Hat SEO typically means using deceptive ways to trick the search engines into giving your site top rankings, such as hidden text, spamming etc. (The Bad Guys). Black Hat SEOs know what they are doing is defined as BAD, and do it anyway for specific reasons (not usually including “get banned”).

Gray hat

These are SEO tactics that cannot be termed either as ethical or unethical, but can be termed as something in between the two. It is unlikely that a site gets banned or can have negative affects on it, due to following Gray Hat SEO tactics

The White Hat SEO is best.

White hat is approved methods of SEO, black hat are unapproved methods, and gray hat is everything in between (but will probably eventually become black hat). Only focus your SEO on white-hat methods.
