Examples of SEO Jargon explained…

Here are a few examples from my SEO JARGON BUSTER…

Authority – a way of describing the credibility and popularity of a website. High authority websites perform better in search results than low authority websites. Authority is derived primarily from the quality and quantity of backlinks from other websites.

Black hat SEO – the name for all shady SEO practices that try and trick or manipulate search engine algorithms, such as keyword stuffing or buying links. Avoid all black hat practices as, even if they work in the short-term, in the long run they will hurt your rankings, and may even get your website banned from search engines!

Crawl budget – the number of pages Google crawls on your site per day. Your crawl budget is influenced by a number of factors including the size of your site, how many crawl errors Google encounters on your site and the number of links to your site.

De-indexed – If a website has been de-indexed, this means it has been removed from a search engine’s database.  This is most likely to be because the website has done something that is against the search engine’s guidelines. For example, the website owner may have used black hat SEO tactics.

EAT (Experience, Authority, Trustworthiness) – a term which appears in Google’s Quality Rater Guidelines. EAT are important factors which Google uses to evaluate the quality of a website. A website showing experience, authority and trustworthiness will rank better in Google’s search results. This is particularly important for websites giving health and financial advice (YMYL websites).

(N.B. all the words in italics are SEO terms which also have an explanation in my jargon buster)
