SEO For 2016

I've made a over 25 minute video presentation on SEO For 2016 - Showing you a complete overview of my thoughts for the year so far, the year ahead and beyond for our growing industry.
SEO For 2016

My Video Presentation

Instead of writing out a 50,000 word post on SEO, I’ve condensed everything you’ll ever need to know into a video presentation that took me a LONG time to create, film, edit and produce… Even the rendering took over 6 hours.

So, without further ado… Here’s SEO in 2016:

(Timestamps for the video are on the YouTube Video page, please click the video title to go through to that page if you want to see the timestamps in the description, and skip to specific parts of the video)

I’ve also included a HUGE glossary of terms for those who don’t already know what all the words mean below, so if you ever get stuck, just pause the video and cntrl+f for the word.

The Biggest SEO Glossary In Existence

In my videos and posts, a lot of people find it very difficult to understand some of the more technical language I speak about when it comes to SEO.

The industry has it’s very own language, and a lot of it is abbreviated, which makes it even more difficult to understand than if you were to actually give the full wording.

So, I went out looking for a complete glossary to link to people who don’t quite know all the words in SEO.. What I found wasn’t much. So, with that in mind, here’s my 5,334 word (including descriptions) glossary for the SEO world:

301

This is a type of redirection which forwards a user from one URL to an alternative URL.  A 301 is a permanent redirection, often used in SEO as it passes on the majority of the link juice from the original URL to the other.

302

This is again a type of redirection. A 302 is temporary and therefore won’t pass the link juice to the new URL as a 302 is generally used when you will return to the first URL.

404

A 404 is a standard “page not found” error message which means that the URL is not active and has been removed or moved or never existed in the first place, for example, if you put a spelling mistake in URL.

3 pack AKA ‘snack pack’ or ‘local pack’

The 3 pack is googles recent change to local searches which now instead of showing 7 business listings below the map it shows 3. This has always been the case while on mobile devices but since August 2015 desktop users started to receive the same view as mobile devices.

If you search ‘plumber+(your location)’ you will most likely see an example of this.

Affiliate SEO

Affiliate marketing is an SEO technique where you promote a third-party product for a commission on each sale. This is also referred to as cost per action (CPA).

Affiliate network

An affiliate network is a company which advertises products that are looking for affiliate sellers.

This includes the likes of:

  • Amazon affiliate scheme where you receive a percentage of each sale depending on the product category, ranging from 1.0 to 10% commission

  • eBay’s partner network

Anchor Text

Anchor text is the blue underlined text displayed as a clickable hyperlink on webpages.

<a href=”http://www.bbc.com”>BBC</a>

The bolded part is the anchor text.

This is how a websites anchor text is spread out. This can be viewed through tools such as Majestic or ahrefs.

For example for https://www.paydayloansnow.co.uk/ their anchor text distribution looks like this.

Blackhat SEO

Blackhat is a branch of SEO which many people claim to be the unethical side of SEO. It focuses on search engine positions by manipulating algorithms as well as on-page tricks to rank webpages, not end user experience which is ultimately what google is trying to rank.

These techniques include:

  • Private blog networks
  • Cloaking
  • Negative SEO

Blog Commenting

Is the process of commenting on blogs generally with generic comments containing a link. This is because a lot of blogs auto publish comments and it gives the person commenting a backlink.

While google has reduced the effectiveness of blog commenting some SEOs continue to do so.

Bookmarks

Bookmarking is a way for a reader to tag a page, much like favourite page on your browser. Some SEOs believe that search engines will start to use this metric as a ranking factor in the future.

An example of a bookmarking site is Del.icio.us

Bot Blocking

This is a way of blocking crawlers from your site, an example of a crawler could be the likes of majestic or ahrefs. It can be done by plugins or htaccess and robots.txt.

It is a debated topic amongst SEOs whether you should block bots for your money sites or PBNs. As not blocking bots could reveal your PBN to competitors.

Bounce Rate

Bounce rate is an analytic used by google analytics which shows what percentage of users leave your website after visiting just one page.

Branded Keywords

This relates back to anchor text, an example of branded keyword would be any combination of your businesses name.

For google these would be considered as branded keywords

  • Google
  • Google.com
  • Google inc

Broken Link

A broken link is a link website which leads to a 404 or “page not found” error page.  They are often an outbound link from a website to another website.

Churn and Burn SEO

Churn and burn SEO is where riskier SEO methods or spam is used to rank a site, there is no thought into the longevity of a site. It is typically done for sites with high competition and make a lot of money and even a day of ranking on the first page could mean making £100s.

Popular citations include the likes of yelp, facebook or niche specific citation sites such as urbanspoon.com

Clickbait

They often contain text like you’ll never believe what happened next at the end.

Cloaking

Cloaking is a blackhat SEO technique which shows different content to users than googles robots.

Cloudflare

Is a service that protects webpages against DDoS attacks. It was recently acquired by google.

SEOs will often use cloudflare on their PBNs as it hides their real host as it allows you to put multiple PBNs on the same host without anyone knowing.

Cold Calling (Phone)

Calling someone without their permission to do so, generally trying to sell to them.

Cold Calling (Email)

Emailing someone without their permission to do so, again generally trying to sell them something.

Competition Analysis

Looking to see what level of competition there is to rank in the SERPs against a competitor for certain keywords. This can be done using tools to compare how many backlinks they have, what their anchor text distribution looks like.

Conversion

This has a few different definitions depending who you are talking to, some will consider a conversion to be turning a site visitor into a customer a conversion. Some people will consider other things such as turning a site visitor into an email list member a conversion.

Cookie (re-targetting)

A cookie for retargeting is used by facebook and google for remarketing to people who have already used your website. It allows you to create a custom audience of these people, the main benefit of this is that not only do they normally already know who you are the cost per click (CPC) is often a lot lower.

Copywriting

The art of writing promotional pieces for conversions, a copywriters whole aim is to increase conversions and return on investment (ROI). A good piece of copy gets into the mind of a reader, whether it’s their insecurities or makes the reader nod their head and agree as they read.

Cost Per Action (CPA)

Much like affiliate SEO, you get paid per action as the name suggests. The action could be someone downloading an app or joining an email list or a product purchase to name a few.

Cost Per Impression (CPM)

This means how much it cost per 1000 impressions. The M stands for 1,000 in roman numerals.

This is often used in banner advertising.

Click Through Rate (CTR)

How many people click on a specific link, generally displayed as a percentage. Often used in landing pages, emails and displaying data for organic search data.

For example 1st position in google receives roughly a 30% CTR.

This means for every 100 people searching the term they will receive roughly 30 clicks.

(this is a made up example)

Dedicated server

A server which is limited to hosting a generally a single site although can be used for a small collection of sites.

Directory

A directory is a website which keeps a database of other websites sorted by categories and subcategories. You can find niche specific directories or general directories which cover many niches.

For example jayde.com

Domain Name Servers (DNS)

The DNS transfers domain names into IP addresses. Although domains are letters the internet is numeric. When you type in a URL the internet redirects your internet to the correct IP address.

Domain Age

Domain age is as the name suggests, how old a specific domain is, this can be found by googling ‘domain age tool’ and inputting the domain in question into one of these tools.

Domain Authority

This is a score developed by Moz which predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. You will often use this as part of your competition analysis and used in the expired domains market a lot.

https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

Domain Authority Stacking (DAS)

Is a technique where you link high domain authority webpages for example social properties and web 2.0s in a random pattern to each other and to themselves (most but not all the time).

Drip Feeding

This is where rather than sending everything at once you do it over a period of time, this can be done with backlinks and social signals. So rather than getting a sudden spike in backlinks which may look unnatural and spammy they come all at once.

Duplicate Content

This is content which appears on the internet in more than one place. This can lead to a google duplicate content penalty if done in a spammy way.

Earning Per Click (EPC)

How much each click to your site is worth.

For example if you get 1000 visitors and from those 1000 visitors you make £1000 your EPC is £1

Embeds

Embedding a video (or any other iFrame based property) on webpage so the video is part of the webpage, rather than linking out to the video by hyperlink.

This is a term used often when discussing youtube/video SEO.

Exact Match Domain (EMD)

This  is where the domain name is the keyword you are targeting.

For example keyword “plumber London”

Domain www.plumberlondon.co.uk

(Do)Follow  Link

To explain a follow link it is easier to set a scenario.

Lets assume that google ranks off backlinks alone.

Each backlink is worth a certain amount of link juice.  A follow link passes on this linkjuice to the domain it is linking to and help the domain rank.

This is why authority site backlinks compared to a random blog is worth so much more as the authority sites have so much more link juice that they pass on.

Geo tag

This is a tag to add locations to your photos, it’s not actually supported by google any more but it is still often the term used by SEOs. Instead it is done through a locations.kml file or through tools like geotagmypic or flickr.

Google Analytics

It can be found here https://www.google.co.uk/analytics/

GSA

Is an SEO tool / service which will make backlinks for your website. The hardest part of using GSA is having a strategy to avoid being penalised as it is spam. Most people do this by not sending GSA directly to the money site but instead to their teir 2 and 3 sites.

H1 H2 H3 H4 (etc..) tags

This is a HTML header tag that will make the text larger and more defined from a wall of text. H1 will usually be the title of the post and H2 through to Hx will generally be sub headings.

Hosting

Is a space on the world wide web, you rent it from the web hosting provider. Much like a property rental it comes without anything on, you provide the filling (content).

There are different types of web hosting including:

  • Shared
  • Dedicated
  • VPS

IFTTT

https://ifttt.com

Stands for If This Then That it is a software where you create ‘recipes’ to automate processes.

Inbound link (IBL)

These are links from other sites that have linked back to your webpage. Also referred to as backlinks.

Site A links to Site B, site B has an IBL and site A has an outbound link (OBL)

Indexing

This is a term used in reference to a search engines database. If a page is not indexed it will not be found on the search engine. Indexing can be done through a few methods.

Internal Link

An internal link is a hyperlink which points at the same domain as the domain you are creating the hyperlink. This is used in silo structure for sites to attempt to pass link juice flow around the site, to rank the pages.

[wel]An example would be the keyword “plumber ohio”[/well]

A long tail search term for this could be “sink replacement in Columbus ohio” it is a specific job in a specific location and will have a lower search volume but probably lower competition also.
