In web terms, crawling refers to minimally invasive programs that scan webpages and entire websites to catalog their content. Websites should be crawlable and easily interpreted by these programs so that your site is properly represented on search engines like Google and Bing.

Black Hat Tactics refer to a range of practices that increase a website’s ranking with search engines that are explicitly against the rules established by those engines.

One common example is keyword stuffing, which refers to spamming particular keywords on a page in order to try to rank for those topics. This sacrifices the user experience, since the page is not informational or useful, and is merely attempting to trick search engines.

In general, some black hat tactics may increase a site’s ranking temporarily, but will inevitably damage the site’s reputation and effectiveness long-term.

Brand Positioning refers to the specific value your product or service brings to a client or customer. Companies will attempt to create unique brand positioning to differentiate themselves from their competition.

An example might be positioning your car company as an elite, high-class brand, naturally targeted to more affluent customers, or a reliable, low-budget option, which would bring different customers and marketing considerations with it.
