As soon as you start studying search engine optimization you will start coming across new SEO tricks. Many of these tricks pop up in blogs and online forums where everyday people are discussing their personal and professional experiences with SEO. It can be incredibly difficult to determine which SEO tricks come from reputable, trustworthy sources and which could do more harm than good for your own sites.

There is always a danger that SEO will backfire and get your website listed as spam with a search engine, but the chances of something like that happening increase when you start implementing strategies that aren't proven. That is essentially what you are doing when you start experimenting with SEO tricks.

When you hear of these SEO tricks that sound intriguing, start by analyzing how they work. Apply basic logic and everything you know about SEO to determine if the trick could possibly work. Also determine the risk for it backfiring in any possible manner. Is the risk worth it?

If you do come across a trick that you think makes sense and is worth whatever risk may be involved, then it's time look for others who have put the trick into action. If you can't find anyone else, then perhaps ask for the results of the source who gave you the trick to begin with. Have they been successful with this trick? Could their success have been gained from something else or was it clearly from the trick?

When first experimenting with SEO tricks, do it on your own websites first. Never apply an unproven trick to someone else's website unless they are well aware of the experimental nature of the approach. This will give you more experience working with the trick so you know how to best apply it to someone else's website.

SEO trick's can be fun to play around with, especially if you don't know many others putting the tricks to use.
