Meta tags are special/reserved HTML tags that are used to describe the content of a webpage. These tags are commonly used in SEO terms. Usually, meta tags are: Description, Keywords, Author, Robots, Generator. And they are used in the head section of a webpage.

6. Headings

Headings are also important components of SEO, a webpage may be having many paragraphs, so for each paragraph we can use different headings. Always sorting for Headings is as follow: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6.

7. Keywords

The special/reserved words that describe the whole page is called keyword or keywords. They are mostly included in the title tag and used again and again in the entire page.

8. Keyword Density

The limit of a keywords in a complete article is called Keyword density. The maximum keyword density is 3% percent for the whole page. So if you write an article of 500 words the keyword may be included 15 times but not more than that.

9. Keyword Stuffing & Cloaking

This is a black hat SEO technique which is no longer accepted by Search Engines. This technique is used to cheat search engine crawlers; by using this technique some webmasters include a huge number of keywords in meta tags or in the page. Also they use different techniques to deceive visitors as well as search engines i.e hiding the original text from the user or positioning it somewhere, where it can’t be seen by human eyes.

10. Robots, Spiders & Crawlers

These are search engines software/system/algorithms which discover new webpages on the web and index them in their servers. These three names give the same meaning.

11. Internal Links

12. External Links

This is a technique that is used to insert external links in a webpage, these links are indicating to other websites. If the links are not kept Nofollow then they are crawled by search engine robots.

13. Inbound links

Inbound links are those links that are outside your website on the web, but linking back to you. It is an indication for search engines that your site has been also somewhere else.

14. Outbound Links

Outbound links are those links that are going outside from your website. If they are not kept Nofollow they can be crawled by Search Engines crawlers.

15. Backlinks

Backlinks are those links which are outside your website but indicating back to your website. Those links with Dofollow attribution are called Backlinks. The other are just outbound links.

16. Nofollow

It is an attribute that tells the search engine crawler not to follow a particular page or link. So if a website dosn’t want to index a webpage or link, simply a nofollow attribute is added.

17. Dofollow

Dofollow is an attribute that tells the search engine crawler to follow the webpage or link entirely. By default all links are dofollow if they are not changed.

18. No Index

No Index is another attribute that instructs the crawler to not index the webpage. The link can be followed but the content won’t be indexed.

22. Google Penguin

A google search algorithm that is designed to detect websites with spammy links, over-optimization, keyword stuffing and unnatural links.

This is something strange, but worth knowing, every website is given a unique IP address, so if you have a single hosting account and have multiple sites hosted on that, then the C Class maybe the same and the C class is the third number of the IP for example; 22.33.44.55, so the 44 is C class, if this is the same for multiple websites then if one website was penalized by Google, the other websites on the same IP may also be caught.

24. Domain Authority (DA)

This is a ranking based on the age of the domain, the backlinks to the domain and the overall ranking of the domain. So domain authority ranking may be vary for every website, above 30 DA ranking is considered good and above 50 is the best.

This is something very interesting, the page authority or PA ranking is different for each web page on the web, but mostly people try to know about their Home page PA.
