THE BASIC TERMINOLOGY OF SEO. HERE IS A COMPILED LIST OF SEARCH ENGINE AND PROMOTION RELATED TERMSAdd Image

Adwords: This is the Pay per Click advertising program offered by Google.

Adsense: Contextual advertising by Google. Website publishers earn a portion of the advertising revenue for placing Google sponsored links on their site.
Anchor Text - The text that a user would click on to follow a link. In the case the link is an image the image alt attribute may act in the place of anchor text.

Example of anchor text:

Automated Submissions: Services that use a web based tool or software to submit sites to search engines, free for all pages, and directories. CM SEO does not recommend using these services; these submissions can be viewed by the receiving party as spam.

Alt Attribute- Using an image alt attribute allows you to help screen readers and search engines understand the function of an image by providing a text equivalent for the object.
Black Hat SEO - Search engines set up guidelines that help them extract billions of dollars of ad revenue from the work of publishers and the attention of searchers. Within that highly profitable framework search engines consider certain marketing techniques deceptive in nature, and label them as black hat SEO. Those which are considered within their guidelines are called white hat SEO techniques.
Back Link - Link pointing to one website from another website.
Bookmarks - Most browsers come with the ability to bookmark your favorite pages. Many web based services have also been created to allow you to bookmark and share your favorite resources. Social bookmarking sites are often called tagging sites. Del.icio.us is the most popular social bookmarking site.

Broken Link - A hyperlink which is not functioning or does not lead to the desired location. Most large websites have some broken links, but if too many of a site's links are broken it may be an indication of outdated content, and it may provide website users with a poor user experience. This may cause search engines to rank a page as being less relevant.
Crawler - A Spider that downloads multiple pages from the same domain.
Code: The background code that runs a web site. As well as HTML, this can include, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, JSP, Cold fusion and more.

Click popularity: a measure of how often a listing presented by a search engine is clicked. Some search engines and directories will rank a site higher on their results pages if the site proves to be popular among searchers.
Cloaking: also known as "stealth," involves serving a specific page to each search engine spider and a different one to human visitors. In most cases, frowned upon by search engines.
Comment tag: html code that describes or documents content. Most search engines ignore the content of comment tags.
CPC (Cost Per Click) - Cost per click. Many search ads and contextually targeted ads are sold in auctions where the advertiser is charged a certain price per click.
CTR (Click Through Rate) - Clickthrough rate - the percentage of people who view click on an advertisement they viewed, which is a way to measure how relevant a traffic source or keyword is. Search ads typically have a higher clickthrough rate than traditional banner ads due to being highly relevant to implied searcher demand.

Dead link: An Internet link which does not lead to a page or site. This usually occurs when a server is down, the page has moved, or it no longer exists.
Domain: A sub-set of internet addresses. Domains are hierarchical, and lower-level domains often refer to particular web sites within a top-level domain. The most significant part of the address comes at the end - typical top-level domains are .com, .net, .edu, .gov, .org.
Directory: directories are built from submissions made by website owners, and generally arrange site listings hierarchically. Yahoo! is the best known example.
DMOZ- The Open Directory Project is the largest human edited directory of websites. DMOZ is owned by AOL, and is primarily run by volunteer editors.
Doorway page: a web page created solely to achieve high ranking in search engines for particular keywords, and perhaps for a specific engine. Today's doorway pages should contain valuable and useful content related to your site, and be fully linked to the site, and so are often referred to as "information pages."
Dynamic html: web pages generated on demand by data in databases or using similar technology. Can create ranking problems because a search engine's spider may not retrieve relevant content.
Dedicated Server - Server which is limited to serving one website or a small collection of websites owned by a single person.
DNS - Domain Name Server or Domain Name System. A naming scheme mechanism used to help resolve a domain name / host name to a specific TCP/IP Address.

External Link - Link which references another domain. Some people believe in link hoarding, but linking out to other related resources is a good way to help search engines understand what your site is about. Search engines are more likely to trust high quality editorial links.


Frames: Some sites have pages that are made up of multiple HTML pages. Typically the navigation will be on one page and the content on another. You can tell if you scroll down the page and the navigation remains static. Frames are bad for a sites search engine promotion.
FTP - File Transfer Protocol is a protocol for transferring data between computers. Many content management systems (such as blogging platforms) include FTP capabilities.

Google Dance - In the past Google updated their index roughly once a month. Those updates were named Google Dances.
Hand Submissions: A service to develop appropriate titles and descriptions for submission to directories, search engines, and advertising sites. The submission is often unique for each directory, being sure to be compliant with all guidelines. CM SEO always offers hand submissions and has great success in getting relevant listings in appropriate directories.
Hidden text: Text that is visible to the search engine spiders but not to site visitors. Used to add extra keywords in the page without actually adding content to a site. Most search engines will penalize Web sites which use hidden text.
Hit: In the context of visitors to web pages, a hit (or site hit) is a single access request made to the server for either a text file or a graphic. If, for example, a web page contains ten buttons constructed from separate images, a single visit from someone using a web browser with graphics switched on (a "page view") will involve eleven hits on the server. In the context of a search engine query, a hit is a measure of the number of web pages matching a query returned by a search engine or directory.
Home page: The main page of a Web site.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - HyperText Transfer Protocol is the foremost used protocol to communicate between servers and web browsers. Hypertext transfer protocol is the means by which data is transferred from its residing location on a server to an active browser.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): The coding language that all Web sites use to exist on the Internet.
Hyperlink - Underlined text or phrases that will take you to another page on clicking.
.htaccess - Apache directory-level configuration file which can be used to password protect or redirect files.
Impression: A single display of an online advertisement.
Inbound link: Links that direct users to another Web site. When a user arrives at a site from another site, that link is known as an inbound link.or Link to a particular page from other sites.

Informational page: a content-filled web page created to focus on particular keywords. Differs from a "doorway page" in that is wholly integrated into the site and is useful to human visitors, while a traditional "doorway page" is aimed only at search engines.
Invisible text: using a font color the same or close to the color of the background of a page, in an attempt to allow the content to be indexed by search engines while not being visible to humans. To search engines, this is spam.
IP delivery or IP-based delivery: the technique of serving a particular page in response to a page request from a specific IP address. Used in cloaking; a search engine is identified by the IP address it is using, and a page customized for that search engine is served.
Keyword: A word used to find pages when conducting a search.or A term used for searching.
Keywords: Due to abuse by many Web sites in the past, search engines have reduced the importance of the keywords Meta tag when ranking a Web page for keyword relevance. Many have actually decided to not consider the keywords tag altogether. While it has reduced in significance, it is still an important Meta tag to include in your Web pages.
Keyword density: Keyword density is the ratio of a keyword or key phrases to the total number of words on that page. Keyword density is one of the most critical aspects of successful search engine optimization.
Keyword phrase: A phrase used to find pages when conducting a search.
Keyword frequency: Keyword frequency is the number of times keywords occur in the text on a given page. Search engines want to see more than one repetition of a keyword in your text to make sure it's not an isolated case.
Keyword prominence: The general location of a keyword or phrase in relation to the overall text on that page. You'll want to make sure your important keywords appear early in your Web site copy and that they draw attention to themselves.
Keyword research: Researching the most relative and popular keywords for a given site.
Keyword Spamming: Deliberate repetition of keywords in a page by using invisible or tiny text to increase keyword density. This is banned by search engines.
