Domain - The human-friendly "address, or URL" of a Website. When a user types a URL into a web browser, a dedicated computer somewhere on the web known as a Domain Name Server, or DNS translates the URL into a discrete IP address which is then used to find the actual Website being requested. In the URL http://www.rlrouse.com, rlrouse.com is the domain.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Domain Name Servers (DNS) - These are special computers that translate human-friendly URLs into computer-friendly IP addresses. This process takes place every time a user requests a page from a Website.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

DNS Propagation - Every time a new domain name is registered (or an existing one is transferred to a new DNS), the information about the domain and the DNS that hosts it must make its way around the entire internet. This process usually takes around 24 hours, during which time the domain will be inaccessible to users.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Doorway Page - A page that is usually optimized for a particular search engine and search term.

Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Duplicate Content - Two or more separate web pages that contain substantially the same content are said to contain duplicate content.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Google and other top search engines have set up filters to detect duplicate content when their crawlers are active on the web. When pages containing duplicate content are detected, they are often assessed a duplicate content penalty which means a lowering of the page's ranking from what it would have received naturally.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Dynamic Content (dynamic pages) - Web pages that are often generated from database information based upon queries initiated by users. Dynamic pages often include the ? character in the URL.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

The URLs of dynamic pages often use these extensions: .asp, .cgm, or .cgi. Most search engines don't index dynamic content very well (or at all). Google has recently been doing a better job at indexing them however.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Hidden Text and Hidden Links - Using a text font that is the same (or nearly the same) color as the background color, rendering the text or link invisible or very difficult to read. The same effect can also be achieved by using various HTML tricks.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Hidden text and hidden links are often used to artificially increase a web page's keyword density for a keyword or keyphrase and/or to artificially boost the link popularity of other pages on your site(s).
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

The use of hidden text and hidden links is frowned upon by Google and most other search engines. Using them will most likely result in your web page(s) incurring a penalty by the search engines.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Hits - The term hits is commonly misused. Many people think of a hit as a visit to one of their web pages. This is incorrect. A hit takes place every time a file is accessed on your Website.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

For example, let's say your friend's home page has a logo gif and 12 pictures on it. Every time a visitor loads that page, 14 hits are recorded: 1 for the logo gif, 12 for the pictures, and one for the page itself. So don't be all that impressed if he boasts that his site receives 1000 hits a day. In our example, those 1000 hits could have been generated by as few as 72 visitors to the site.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

The only meaningful way to evaluate the traffic flow of a site is to consider the average daily or monthly number of unique visitors and page views a site receives.

IP Address - A unique numerical Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) that is assigned to every computer that connects to the internet. IP addresses can be either static (never unchanging) or dynamic (changes with every internet connection).
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Your computer's IP address is what enables it to be "found" on the internet in order to receive email, web pages, etc.

Example: 216.239.36.10

IP Spoofing - Returning an IP address that is different from the one that is actually assigned to the destination Website. This is often done with redirects. A huge no-no (it's even a criminal offense when done under certain circumstances).

Java applets - small programs written in the Java programming language that can be embedded into web pages. Applet programs run on the Internet user's computer rather than the web server's computer. Search engines can not run Java applets. Consequently, if navigation or content is embedded in a Java applet, it will be invisible to the search engines and will not get indexed. Java source code gets compiled into executable code called "bytecode."

Page Views - Each time a web page on a site is accessed by a visitor, it counts as one page view. It doesn't matter if the same user viewed the same page 5 minutes ago, it still represents another page view.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

For example, let's say that a Website receives two unique visitors in one day. The first visitor surfs around the site and views a total of six pages. The second visitor views 11 pages. This represents 17 page views for the day by two unique visitors. (This poor webmaster needs to do some serious SEO and site promotion!)

Paid Inclusion - Some directories will only consider placing your URL into their database if you pay them a fee.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Yahoo charges a $299 per year evaluation fee for commercial sites. Note that this fee doesn't guarantee that your URL will be accepted and placed in the Yahoo database, but rather that Yahoo will consider your site for inclusion in a timely manner. If your site is rejected, you're just out your $299. But you do have an opportunity to appeal the decision.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Other smaller directories will guarantee to list your site upon payment of their fee, provided that your site meets their guidelines (these are clearly explained ahead of time).
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Many search engines also have a paid inclusion program, including Inktomi and Alta Vista. You don't have to pay to be included in search engines however. If you have a few quality inbound links to your site, the search engines will find and index your site on their own eventually.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

The advantage of utilizing their paid inclusion services is they'll usually crawl and index your site within 48 hours or less instead of the weeks or even months that it often takes otherwise.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Search Engines - This is a traffic generating method where a search engine or directory places your link in their searchable database and charges you a fee every time your URL comes up in a search and it gets clicked on.

Rankings - The order in which individual web pages are returned in the SERPS for a given search query. Search engines rank the web pages based upon relevancy to your search terms according to their proprietary algorithm.

Reciprocal Links - Links to another Website placed on your site in exchange for links back to your site from theirs. This is a proven way to build link popularity which is instrumental in getting high search engine rankings.
Top | Contact us 714-400-8003 |

Redirect - A tactic sometimes used to send a user to a different page that the one she found in the SERPS. For example, a webmaster optimizes a web page for a very popular keyword. When a user finds the page by searching on that keyword, she is subsequently redirected to a different, possibly non-relevant page that the webmaster stands ready to make money from. This is considered to be an invalid use of a redirect and the search engines (including Google) will penalize pages that use one in this manner.

Referrer or Referring URL - The URL of the web page where a visitor clicked a link to come to your site.

Relevancy - The degree to which the content on a web page that is returned in a list of search results (SERPS) "matches" the topic of the information that the user was searching for. In other words, if you use the search phrase "small green widgets" and a page is returned that deals with "large red thingamajigs", the relevancy of that page is very poor.
