The actual work of SEO is extensive and relates to many different aspects of a website:

The SEO Handbook

SERP: “Search Engine Results Page”

Is a literally translated search engine results page, any Google page that appears after you enter the phrase or phrases to search.

Request:

It is any search that is performed on the search engine. When you enter one or more words in the Google search box, you run a query.

Keywords: “keywords” (or keywords)

Are the words you enter in the search box when you run a query. By keywords is meant not only single words, but also sentences, for example the search “plumbing shop in vejle” is a keyword.

Robot: (also called spider or crawler)

Is the software that search engines use to automatically analyze all the sites on the internet. The robots run continuously to scan the entire internet by going from side to side using links. They make a text copy of all the documents visited and paste them into an index (see indexing). The Google robot is called Googlebot.

Indexing:

This is the process that occurs when the robot adds websites to the database of its search engine and then returns it, sorted in a ranking (see ranking) according to its relevance to the keyword when a query is made.

Ranking: “Ranking position”

Is the position in the organic results in relation to a particular query. When we enter a keyword, the search engine returns a SERP of results sorted by relevance across the pages indexed with relevance to the keyword. Any element, internally or externally on the site, that affects ranking is called a “ranking factor”.

Optimization:

With SEO, optimization means facilitating the work of the robots as much as possible, by giving them easily accessible content and making it easier for the robot to understand the topic covered by the web page / website.

Positioning:

Consists of improving the ranking of a site / webpage in search engine results relative to specific keywords. Positioning (or improving it) is the natural consequence of optimization.

Anchor text:

Refers to the word or words used when linking to a page with a link. In essence, it is the visible (therefore clickable) part of a link. This is what an HTML link looks like:

<a href=”https://www.domain.com> This is the anchor text </a>

In general, if you have many links pointing to your site with a specific keyword in the anchor text, Google will consider you important in relation to that keyword, therefore you will have a better chance of placing yourself at the top with that keyword. But at the same time having too many links with the same anchor text can trigger anger from Google Penguin.

Backlink:

Backlinks (also called inbound links) are the links that point to your site. It is important to keep track of the number of backlinks as they affect the ranking of your site in the search engines.

Backlink analysis:

A Backlink Analysis is the very process of examining links to your site and your competitors’ sites to determine how much authority it has in the eyes of Google. In general, if a site receives many links, it is considered as a signal that this site has a high authority and will have a better chance of ranking well in the search engine ranking.

Algorithm:

Usually when someone working with SEO talks about algorithms, reference is made to Google’s algorithm which is the system that determines the ranking of pages for specific keywords.

ALT:

ALT text is alternate text attached to an image. In essence, the alt text ensures that the web page is visible and accessible and that no functionality is lost even if the user has disabled the images or uses a text screen reader. The alt attribute is the description of an image in HTML. For example, people with visual impairments can understand the meaning of the image thanks to this attribute. This is what it looks like in HTML:

<img src = “https: //domain.com/images/mobile-cover.jpg” alt = “nice cover for Samsung” />

Bounce rate: “Bounce rate”

The bounce rate represents the percentage of visits where people have left the site by visiting a single page. The bounce rate can be used to measure a site’s effectiveness. A high bounce rate may be due to the content of your site, but also to usability issues.

However, the bounce rate is not necessarily negative because it is also possible that users immediately found the information they were looking for.

Conversion rate:

In short, the conversion rate refers to the number of online visitors who contact you or buy on a site, etc .. In an e-commerce site, it can mean the purchase of a product, but it can also refer to the submission of a form (contact form). For example, if a site that sells shoes has 200 visitors per page. Today, and 10 of them are actually buying a pair of shoes from this site, the site’s conversion rate is 5%. The conversion rate is a strong indicator of a site’s success.

CPC:

CPC stands for “cost per click” and refers to the actual price to be paid for each click in a (PPC campaign). CPC is important in determining the success of paid campaigns like those made with Google AdWords.

CPM:

CPM stands for “Cost Per Thousand”. It is also called “Price per thousand impressions” and represents the cost that an advertiser pays to display 1000 (thousand) impressions of a banner or other type of advertising on a website. CPM can also be a way to find out how profitable a site is for your campaigns. For example, Facebook offers advertisers a great CPM-based method.

Dofollow / Nofollow:

Nofollow is an attribute that webmasters can use when linking to a site. It tells the search engines that they should ignore the link. A link with this attribute is therefore unnecessary for ranking purposes. Social networks are known to use nofollow for links to external sites. Links without the Nofollow attribute are called Dofollow.

Duplicate content: “Duplicate content”

Duplicate content is pages with content that is similar or identical to that found on another site. Basically, it’s when a website owner copies content from another. There are cases where content is copied for the purpose of manipulating search engine rankings. The search engines are usually able to determine which of the two sites has been copied. This usually leads to traffic losses and placement for site owners who have non-original content.

Click rate: “CTR or Click through rate”

Websites that use many unnatural link building techniques, such as low quality links, spam links, too many keyword-filled links in the anchor text, etc. see losses in search rankings.

Googlebot:
