			Landing PageThe landing page is also known as the "click through URL" or 
			"destination URL".
 It’s the page a user lands on when they click on a link in a search 
			engine results page (SERP) or on an 
			
			online advertisement. Landing pages are designed to be highly 
			relevant to the advertisement or search listing and often encourage 
			users to complete a "call to action".
 
			
			  
			
			Link(s) An element on a web page that can be clicked on to cause the browser 
			to jump to another page or another part of the current page. Links 
			can be text or graphics and are expressed as URLs.
 
			
			  
			
			Link BaitA webpage designed to attract incoming links.
   
			
			Link Building  Actively cultivating incoming links to a site by requesting links 
			from other web sites for the purpose of increasing "link popularity" 
			and/or PageRank.
 
			
			  
			
			Link BuyingBuying a link from another site for the purpose of increasing link 
			popularity.
 
			
			  
			
			Link Exchange Providing a website with a link in exchange for them providing one 
			back to you (reciprocal linking).
 
			
			  
			
			Link FarmA link farm is a group of highly interlinked websites created to 
			subvert the link popularity algorithms of search engines.
 
			
			  
			
			Link JuiceRefers to the quality and weight any website can pass on to another 
			through its pagerank and number of link “votes” which are obtained 
			by Backlinks.
 
			
			  
			
			Link Partner 
			(link exchange, reciprocal linking)Two sites which link to each other. Search engines usually don’t see 
			these as high value links, because of the reciprocal nature.
 
			
			  
			
			Link PopularityLink popularity a measure of the value of a site based upon the 
			number and quality of sites that link to it. A part of all major 
			search engines’s ranking formula so the more web pages that link to 
			you, the better your link popularity (so long as they’re quality 
			links)
 
			
			  
			
			Link Spam  Unwanted links between pages specifically set up to take advantage 
			of link-based ranking algorithms.
 
			
			  
			
			Link Text (Anchor 
			text) Are the words in the clickable part of any link.  
			Link text is important because those words tell your visitors as 
			well as search engines what the page they're about to go to is all 
			about. Search engines give link text a lot of weight.
 
			
			  
			
			LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing)Means that search engines index commonly associated groups of words 
			in a document. In addition to recording which keywords a document 
			contains, the method examines the document collection as a whole, to 
			see which other documents contain some of those same words. LSI 
			considers documents that have many words in common to be 
			semantically close, and ones with few words in common to be 
			semantically distant. This simple method correlates surprisingly 
			well with how a human being, looking at content, might classify a 
			document collection. Although the LSI algorithm doesn't understand 
			anything about what the words mean, the patterns it notices can make 
			it seem astonishingly intelligent.
 
			
			  
			
			Log File  All accesses to a web site can be logged by the web server. Data 
			that is usually logged includes date and time, filename accessed, 
			user's IP address, referring web page, user's browser software and 
			version, and cookie data.
 
			
			  
			
			Long Tail Long tail refers to longer more specific search queries that are 
			often less targeted than shorter broad queries. For example a search 
			for “bonza” might be very broad while “bonza website site 
			calculator” would be a long tail search. A large percentage of all 
			searches are long tail searches.
