Glossaries | Dictionaries [Chapter 8]
As you learn SEO, you will be confronted with lots of new terms and concepts that can be difficult to grasp at first (especially if you come from a totally unrelated education background). Thus, having a few resources that focus solely on explaining those terms to you will come in very handy and streamline your learning process.
99. SEOBook Glossary – This is the most comprehensive list of terms I have been able to find. It doesn’t just define, but it explains and exemplifies more complex concepts. At the end of the glossary, you also find some links for even more glossaries, and tips on how to search for definitions on your own in case there’s something missing.
100. AdWords Terms – This glossary only defines the terms you find in Google AdWords, and will be useful in your interaction with the tool.
101. Searchmetrics Glossary – Not as thorough, but it does list some terms that the glossaries above don’t feature. It’s neatly structured, so finding your keywords will be easy.
102. 15-Minute SEO – Short, but very to the point and actionable dictionary dealing with several factors of SEO, on-page optimization and link building. I recommend it because it grades every factor by importance and influence, alerting you on which practices are positive, null, or may have a negative influence on your optimization efforts. Pay attention to outdated relevancy however – this one ranks the keyword meta tag as a positive factor, when it is actually null or even damaging to your SEO efforts.
103. Bluefountainmedia Glossary – Another good resource for terms definitions. I deem it useful for the same reason that it features concepts the glossaries above lack, so keep it nearby.
104. SEO Theory’s SEO Glossary – You can never have too many glossaries. Just kidding, you can. But I wanted to include Michael Martinez’ SEO glossary here because it’s just as good as the others I’ve listed. My hope is that you’ll browse all these terms glossaries and choose one that you like best to keep referring to it whenever you encounter a new term.
