Search Engine Optimization
Algorithm – A set of rules used by computers to solve
problems. Search engines use algorithms to determine the
rankings on a search results page.
ALT text – A word or phrase that describes the content of an
image. This is displayed if an image is not loaded, and it also
helps search engines to index a page.
E.g. “The homepage of my website features an image of a fruit
and vegetable garden. I included ALT text ‘fruit and vegetables’
to describe it.”
Anchor text – The clickable text that forms part of a hyperlink.
For example, if clicking ‘Photo gallery’ on a webpage takes you
to ‘www.mywebsite.com/images’, then ‘photo gallery’ is the
anchor text.
Black hat – Manipulative or deceptive SEO tactics that
optimize websites for search engines, not for people.
E.g. “I was especially careful to avoid any black hat SEO
techniques; I didn’t want to hurt the ranking of my website in
search engines.”
Bot, crawler or spider – A program that browses and indexes
content on the internet. This data is then used to help search
engines deliver relevant search results.
E.g. “When I launched my website, I made sure that the pages
were visible to search engine bots, so they could index my
pages.”
Destination page – The page being linked to from another
page.
E.g. “If you click the link to ‘Gallery’, you’ll see a destination page
full of images of our fruits and vegetables.”
Internal links – Links from one page to another page within
the same website.
Meta description – A snippet of text in a web page’s code that
describes the content of the page, and is used as the website’s
description in a search engine results page.
E.g. “I write meta descriptions for each page of my website in
case the search engine displays the page in the search results.”
Meta keywords – A short list of words that describe the
content of a webpage. These aren’t used by search engines.
Ranking – A listing’s position on a search engine results page.
Search engine optimization (SEO)– The practice of making
changes to web pages, content, and the promotion of that
content, to improve visibility in organic - or unpaid - search
engine results.
Search engine results page (SERP) – A list of results
appearing in a search engine in response to a person’s search
query. SERPs contain organic results as well as ads.
Title element – The title of a web page as indicated in the
HTML. Also often used as the title of your page in a search
engine results page.
E.g. “I pay careful attention to the title element of my web
pages, to help search engines understand what the pages are
about.”
Web spam or spam – Techniques that are used by some
websites to try and cheat their way to the top of search
results, for example repeating keywords and paying other
sites to link to yours. This is considered bad practice because
truly relevant websites get buried in the results.
E.g. “I received email offers to rank first in Google search
results but have turned them down because the techniques
used are spam.”
White hat – Tactics that optimize web pages for people, not
for search engines. This is done by following best practices
for creating good content and increasing search visibility.
E.g. “I only use white hat tactics to help search engines find my
website.”
XML sitemap – A list of all the web pages that make up your
site. This helps search engines to understand your website.
E.g. “Adding a sitemap helped search engines understand the
pages on my website.”
