According to an article on Wikipedia, grey hat hackers are those who manipulate web sites' search engine rankings using improper or unethical means but that are not considered search engine spam. Reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H25O8RM/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

I would not recommend any unethical or improper means, because not only is it unethical, but what you might be able to get away with today, you may not be able to get away with tomorrow and that could cause a lot of trouble.

i think its more like seo method that is not considered as black hat by google but will one day become black hat. things like blog comment. before update, google takes a lot of blog comment into ranking consideration but now if you use that too much it will hurt your sites inevitably.
