In-depth knowledge of the SEO process can help you to handle the task of managing your website’s search engine presence and rankings. Or at least you could know what your SEO agency is doing for you.

Koozai contributor Kelly-Anne Crean has published a list of 16 essential SEO terms.

Crean says, “Do you sometimes get confused with SEO terms and what they mean? We have put together a handy glossary of the SEO terms you should know, and we explain exactly what these terms mean. Hope you find this glossary useful.

301 redirect – this is a permanent redirect from one URL to another.  301 redirects send users to a different URL than the one they originally typed into their browser or went to from a search engine result page.

404 error – this means that the page you are trying to go to could not be found on the server. This is a client-side error which means either the page has been deleted or moved, and the URL has not been modified accordingly.

Alt tag – this is used to describe the appearance and function of an image on a page. One of the main purposes of Alt tags is for the benefit of visually impaired users who use screen readers when browsing. Alt tags will be displayed in place of an image if an image file cannot be loaded. Alt tags provide better image context/descriptions to search engine crawlers, helping them to index an image properly”.
