For those of you that are just starting out in the SEO/Make money online business, I know that there can be a lot of confusion. There are a lot of unfamiliar words and shorts of these words. In this article I will try to explain some of the words that I feel are the most important ones for you to understand.
SEO " Short for Search Engine Optimization.
This one you will come across on a daily basis. It is by far the most used word in the business. Generally it refers to the way that we make our sites as search engine friendly as possible. It is a way to get your site high in the search engine result pages. As a rule we split SEO into two separate things, On and Off page Optimization.
On-page Optimization
The term itself is quite self explained, as it refers to the SEO that we do ON our page. The main object of on page optimization is to let the search engines know, without a doubt, what you site is about. What we do is choosing one or several keywords, and incorporate this into the URL, title, description, post titles and our content in a way that the search engines like.
Off page
This basically comes down to one thing: Backlinks. Keyword anchored backlinks to be exact. Use your keywords as anchor for the backlinks that you obtain to your site. Be sure that you vary your anchors.
MMO - short for Make Money Online
Make Money Online is a term that is used about every way to earn money online. It is a term that covers everything from selling ad space to playing poker. In SEO we usually refer to it in terms of affiliate marketing, Adsense and similar.
SERP - Commonly used short for "Search Engine Result Pages"
These are the pages that the search engines provide you when you search for a term. If you are working with a site it is obviously good to be as high in the SERPs as you can for as many keywords as possible.
Keyword " The term that you or others are searching for.
These words are what you need to be aware of. What are the internet user interested in? Can you get more traffic to your site by targeting some of these word and terms?
Long tail keywords " Longer versions of keywords.
Your keywords with added words. An example: if your keyword is houses, a long tail of it can be houses with a view or houses on the beach.
Backlinks
Backlinks are simply links that points to your site from other sites on the internet.
PR - short for PageRank
PR is a system that Google use to tell how important they think a site is. The Pagerank scale starts at zero. If a site has a rank of zero it is basically unimportant in Google's eyes. If it has a rank of 10 on the other hand, it is VERY important. Just a handful of sites actually has a PR of ten. - 20765
