10 ESSENTIAL SEO TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW

New to SEO? Understand the lingo with these 10 fundamental SEO terms.

If you're new to SEO, you'll find that the terminology is a language all on its own. Improve your SEO vocabulary and knowledge with these 10 essential SEO terms.

Anchor text - Anchor text is the SEO industry's term for hyperlinked text, being that it is the anchor to the link. Anchor text is prevalent because SEO's found that by using keyword rich anchor text, it could help enhance rankings. While it is okay to optimize anchor text internally (as long as it's relevant and isn't excessive) optimizing anchor text for articles and press releases that will be distributed at larger scales could be considered a link scheme. Best practice is to keep anchor text natural in any articles or press-releases.

Title tag - A title tag, or page title is a tag in the .html denoted by <title>. The title tag represents the page's title and can be seen on the tabs in your browser or in the headline of a search result. Title tags help both the search engines and internet users identify what your pages are about. Best practice for title tags is to create unique, relevant  titles for each one of your pages. 

Meta description - A meta description is another .html tag, but its purpose is to describe the page. While meta descriptions do not have any effect on rankings, they can help increase click-through rates since they do show up in the search results. Like title tags, it's important to have unique, relevant descriptions for each page and make sure to include a call-to-action!

301 redirect - When you delete pages or change URLs, they don't just dissipate into the digital universe. So when users try to search for a URL that no longer exists, they receive a 404 error, or 'Not Found' page. To avoid confusing users and to pass on any ranking authority from retired pages, it is best practice to use a 301 redirect. 301 redirects will redirect users and search engines from the old URL to another active page that you specify. 

SERP - SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. A SERP is what is returned to you after typing in a search query. In essence, it's a page of results after you search. SERP is a coined SEO term that you'll hear frequently. 

Keyword - Keyword is another term that is used a lot in SEO. A keyword or keyword phrase is a word or set of words that exemplify the brand, its services, or products. Keywords are important because they help users and the search engines better identify what your webpages are about . Using relevant keywords in your title tags, headlines and throughout your content can help to give the search engines a better idea of what your page is about. Just be careful not to overusekeywords, or it can actually hurt your rankings. 

Indexing - Indexing is the search engines' process for collecting and storing data across the web. The search engines are constantly scouring the web for updated and new pages to add to their massive databases of information. When the search engines do find new pages, they 'index' it, meaning they add a copy of it to their database, so that they can retrieve it during searches.   

Links - There are two types of links that you will hear SEO's talk about. Internal and external.Internal links are links that occur between pages inside of your website. For example, all links on the navigation bar of your website are internal links. External links are links coming or going from your website, either someone has linked to your website, or yours to theirs. 

Both link structures are important, although links coming to your website are seen as more of an authority signal. Best practice for links is to have an organized and convenient internal link structure, so that both users and search engines can easily find your pages. A good rule of thumb to follow is that every page should be at most two clicks away from the homepage. For external links, it's important to create great content that users would want to link to. Any unnatural links or link schemes could end up in a penalty.

Rel="author" - Google's Authorship Markup, also known as rel="author" is a tag that is used to associate authors with their Google+ profiles. This helps to put a face behind your brand, can help increase click-through rates in the search engines, promote thought leadership and can be seen as a ranking signal to Google.  Rel="author" is a great tool for any author that creates content online and has many benefits.

Canonical URL - Canonical URLs are used in cases where there is duplicate content. Say you sell a product that comes in several different colors, and you have a page for each of those colors. The search engines wouldn't be sure which one to index since they're all the same, so by using a canonical link you are able to specify which page should take precedence in the search engines. While it is not a guarantee, it is best practice when you have multiple pages with very similar or identical content.

Sense: A gadget to change the way we sleep

entrepreneur James Proud, 23, presents a white sphere the size of a tennisball covered in a criss-cross pattern. “It is beautiful,” he says, when asked to describe it. “It doesn’t look like a piece of technology. 

We wanted to make something people actually want to put on their bedside table.”

 The device, called Sense, and the first made by Proud’s San Francisco startup company, Hello, is the latest in the world of sleep tracking devices claimed to help improve the quality of an activity we spend about third of our lives engaged in.

 It will be available in the UK early in the new year.

Until now, such devices have only tracked movement during sleep – giving an insight into when you toss and turn – but Sense takes things further by connecting that to the environment. Inside are sensors that record sudden noise and measure light, temperature and humidity in the room as well as the levels of particulates like dust and pollen that can affect sleep.

Just telling people how they slept doesn’t fix poor sleep, says Proud. “They need to understand why they slept that way.” Sense also records a sleeper’s movement, but not by requiring that they wear any device to bed, as most sleep trackers including Jawbone and Fitbit do. A small round plastic “sleep pill” clips onto the pillow. It contains an accelerometer and gyroscope and communicates with the system wirelessly.

The information that Sense gathers while you are asleep can be reviewed in an app. It includes a rating of sleep quality and a log of the disturbances experienced. If you slept poorly around 2am, Sense can tell you whether that was because of light, outside noise or snoring, for example.

Sense allows you to play back the noise disturbances – you can hear whether it was a car alarm or a barking dog that woke you. It automatically identifies snoring. Proud’s team trained the system to recognise the periodic sound by playing YouTube videos of people snoring – though Sense can’t yet distinguish whether it is you or your partner.

Over time the device also learns which conditions give you the best night’s rest. It might suggest that you lower the temperature by a few degrees, for example.

Waving a hand over the device makes it glow a certain colour, indicating how conducive the room is to sleep.

Your Phone Is More Powerful Than The Computer In The Spaceship NASA Launched This Week

The Orion spaceship, which NASA launched this week as a first step on a mission to take astronauts to Mars, has a less powerful computer than your smartphone.

It's widely known that today's smartphones have more computing power than all of NASA did when it started sending astronauts to the moon.

But that was almost 50 years ago! Why would a rocket today have such a basic computer in it?

Because it's designed for reliability, not power, reports Computerworld. NASA engineer Matt Lemke explained that the rocket will be battered by gravity and radiation, so the computer has lots of modifications to help it withstand the barrage. There are also two backup computers on board.

They're all Honeywell computers originally built for the Boeing 787, and include 12-year-old IBM processors.

The Orion is unmanned in this launch, which is meant to test out key systems for reliability. But NASA is planning a bunch of future missions for it, including lassoing an asteroid and carrying astronauts to Mars.

Apple May Be Reintroducing The 4-inch iPhone

Of all the Apple rumors coming out of the Far East recently, the one with the most legitimacy seems to be Apple producing an iPhone with a 4-inch display next year.

Although the reports are unsubstantiated, returning to the small smartphone market would be a good move for Apple.

According to the Electronic Times of Taiwan, the supply chain for Apple production in 2015 includes the components for a smaller handset than the iPhone 6.

The report states that Apple is producing the smaller model “for the convenience of single-handed operation of female users.”

Even though Apple has turned to the larger smartphone and phablet market with the release of the iPhone 5 and 6, respectively, there are still users who prefer the smaller screens and the ability to use a smartphone with just one hand. As phones get bigger, it becomes impossible to do even the simplest tasks without both hands. 

The new phone is rumored to be replacing the iPhone 5c model. The 5c has been Apple’s budget model since its release in September 2013.

The 5c lacked many of the features of the 5s model, such as using the Apple 5 model’s A6 chip instead of the A7 that came with the 5s, not having Touch ID, lacking the M7 motion co-processor and other minor features. The iPhone 5c was discontinued in September 2014 when the iPhone 6 was announced.

As a budget iPhone, the 5c was too expensive, with the price in the same range as other lines flagship smart phones. Reduced production of the model signaled a decline in demand as early as October 2013.

According to Pocketnow, this rumor might signify that Apple wants to standardize their current iPhone models with a small (4-inch), mid-sized (4.7-inch) and phablet (5.5-inch) display. Whether the new 4-inch iPhone would be marketed as a budget iPhone is impossible to say at this point. 

Apple stayed with a 3.5-inch display for five generations as its rivals grew progressively larger. Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, said in 2010 that the smaller screen was better because it was easier to “get your hands around it.”

Google: Ok, so about half of our online ads are never actually seen

One of the weaknesses in online advertising is whether ads are seen by actual, you know, humans. Google has now acknowledged that more than half of its ads are not on the screen for even one second.

The tech giant this week released an infographic, “Five Factors of Viewability,” showing that “many display ads that are served never actually have the opportunity to be seen by a user.” The exact figure: 56.1 percent of all ads the Google and DoubleClick display ad platforms served. comScore has separately estimated that 46 percent of ads are not seen.

Google uses the Media Rating Council’s definition that an ad is viewable “when 50 percent of an ad’s pixels are in view on the screen for a minimum of one second.”
Some of the reasons given for non-viewability: a user scrolled right past it, it wasn’t delivered, or it was delivered but the “viewer” was a software bot.

Below-the-fold ads, which require most users to scroll down to view, are expected to have lower viewabilities, and 60 percent of ads below-the-fold are not seen. But Google also notes that 32 percent of above-the-fold ads are not viewed, either. The most viewable position: right above the fold.

The average publisher’s visibility is 50.2 percent, Google said, so some publishers are serving more non-viewables than others for some reason.

Because of this high level of non-viewability, several efforts are underway to move from a payment system based on impressions, to one based on viewability. The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) has undertaken such an initiative, and Google has been rolling out its own Active View technology.

World's Oldest Computer Is Really Old

The Antikythera Mechanism, sometimes called the "world's oldest computer," is even older than previously thought, according to researchers.

The remarkable astronomical mechanism was discovered in 1901 amongst the wreckage of a Greek ship believed to have sunk sometime between 85 B.C. and 60 B.C., near the island of Antikythera between Crete and Greece.

Since its discovery, scholars have marveled at the Antikythera Mechanism, given that its origin appears to predate other devices of equal complexity by as much as a millennium or more, as noted by The New York Times.

"The complex clocklike assembly of bronze gears and display dials predates other known examples of similar technology by more than 1,000 years. It accurately predicted lunar and solar eclipses, as well as solar, lunar and planetary positions," the Times described the ancient mechanism, which measures just about 8 inches across.

Previous estimates placed the mechanism's construction at around 125 B.C., but new research pushes that date back further, to 205 B.C., according to Christián Carman of Argentina's National University of Quilmes and James Evans of the University of Puget Sound.

In a paper appearing in the Archive for History of Exact Science, Carman and Evans describe how they arrived at the new date. They began by comparing the "hundreds of ways that the Antikythera's eclipse patterns could fit Babylonian records" reconstructed by Brown University's John Steele, Evans said in an article published by the University of Puget Sound. By process of elimination, the researchers concluded that 205 B.C. was the likeliest date for the mechanism's construction.

Carman and Evans said their work was made more difficult by the fact that "only about a third of the Antikythera's eclipse predictor is preserved." The mechanism began falling apart immediately after it was brought to the surface back in 1901, as described in the video below.

In recent years, computer-aided scanning and analysis techniques have made it possible to digitally reconstruct the Antikythera Mechanism with what scientists believe is great accuracy. This has paved the way for a number of new theories about its origins and capabilities.

Ten Cool Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Google

Why click thrice when once will suffice? Of late, this seems to be Google's 

mantra for search results. You might have noticed that one no longer needs

 to click on articles to gather information. Google's Knowledge Graph puts a

 tonne of information next to search results in an attempt to become the world's 

most powerful database of knowledge.

Here are some of the best ways to use this massive trove of information to 

speed up searches and tasks:

1. Your Personal information

Google knows everything about you - as long as you're signed in to your 

Google account. If you have a contact in your smartphone with your name 

and email address, Google can show you your contact details via search 

results. If you use Google contacts, you can search for any contact with

 these keywords: "what is ...'s number". Just fill the blank with the name of 

the contact. Remember that this result will only be visible to you as long as

 you're signed in to your Google account.

There's more Google can tell you about yourself though - search for "what
is my IP address" or "where am I" and it will answer in a box under the
 search bar.

2. Translation and dictionary

Found someone online who doesn't speak your language? Fear not, just
search for "translate", followed whatever the person said. We tried this with
 phrases in European and Indian languages and found the translations to
 be useful when working with short phrases, but not always accurate when
 we had long sentences.

You can add modifiers, like "translate from", or "translate to", to set the
operative languages - for example, "translate reis from german to hindi".

Google can also help you with the meanings of words, or finding synonyms
and more. For best results, put define (or synonyms, or antonyms) before
the word you want to look up.

You can also use Google to get on-the-spot meanings of words. Simply add
 the prefix define - e.g. "define Schadenfreude".

3. Time, weather, and even a timer

Time and weather are another cool function of Google search. Just search 

for "Time in New York" or any other city and country. The same thing works 

for the keyword "weather".

You can also use Google as a timer. Just search for "timer" and Google will

 show you one. By default it is set to 5 minutes, which you can change by

 clicking on the time. It supports full-screen mode and rings when the time is up.

4. Flight information

All you need to know is the flight number of any aircraft, and Google 

Knowledge Graph can show you arrival and departure times and the flight's 

destinations in a neat graphic that shows the departure time, arrival time,

 and even the terminal and gate.

We found this very useful when planning trips, but we really wish Google
could make a similar feature for trains.

5. Converting units and currencies

Not sure how many teaspoons to use when the recipe mentions
tablespoons? Just Google for "2.5 tablespoons to teaspoons," to get your
 answer. The same format can be used for other like "feet to cms" too.
You can also search for "USD to INR" or "$30,000 to INR" to get the
current exchange rate and trends over the past few years.

Google's units conversion tool supports temperature, fuel consumption
(MPG to km/litre, etc), length, mass, speed, volume, area, time and even
 digital storage (from Gb to MB, for example).

6. Location and directions

Google search is very good at finding places and telling you how to get
 there. Whether you know the entire address or just a pin code, a quick
search will show a map marking the area. For example, searching for
 "110001" will show which areas fall under the pin code.

Google has a fairly large database of addresses of public buildings and
commercial complexes. Queries such as "where is India Gate" or "where
 is the nearest hospital" will either show you the answer in a big box above
 the search results or show a map preview with the locations marked.

And in case you're about to hit the road, searching for "directions to" (say
 "directions to Khan Market") your destination will show you a map preview
 with how much time it will take to get there in current traffic conditions.

7. General Knowledge

Not surprisingly, Google is really good at answering general knowledge
 questions. Some queries will only land you the answer, while some other
 queries will show you answers to related questions as well. For instance
, "when was Mahatma Gandhi born" also shows the birth dates of
Jawaharlal Nehru, Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela.

It can answer questions such as "who is the prime minister of Japan" and
"who is the richest man in the world".

8. Astronomy guide

What's bigger, Mars or Venus? How about the relative difference between
 the Moon and the Earth? Search for "Mars vs Jupiter" to get the comparison
, while searching for "Moon to Earth", or "Earth to Aplha Centauri" will show
 you the distance between the two. To find how far the others are from Earth,
 try searching for "how far is ... from Earth". Fill in the blank with the celestial
 body (or man-made satellites such as Voyager I) to find the distance.

9. Popular culture including show timings

Google Knowledge Graph can also give you information about films, television
 shows, books and comics - when you search for an actor, book or film, this
carousel shows up with information on related people or works. A search for
 "best graphic novels" or "best films of 2014" will show you what other people
 are searching for.

Google can also name the films currently in movie halls. It can also list show
 timings. Search for "'movie name' show timings" or simply "films" for this.

10. Sports and stock information

Google can be used to track sporting events and even schedules. A search
 with the name of the team, such as "India cricket team" or "Arsenal FC" show
s you the result from the previous match, live score (if a game is on) and when
 the next match is scheduled. Google also shows some other information about
 the team and its achievements, pulled from Wikipedia.

If you search for a company's name followed by the word stock, you will see the results

 right away, and while the default view shows you the day's valuation, you can set this

 to 5 days, a month up to the time the company was first listed - try entering "Wipro

 stock" or "Google stock" to see.

With these ten tips, you should be able to save time with Google. In case you come 

across some handy uses for Google that we haven't listed, tell us via the comments.

Porn Consumption Goes Mobile, Apple has the Lion's Share: Report

More than half the people who view porn are watching it using mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, and most of these mobile users are accessing their porn using Apple's Safari browser.

According to leading adult entertainment website, Pornhub, there is a major shift in consumption, and in a report titled Pornhub Battle of the Browsers, it reveals that while visitors using PCs remain a significant percentage, more than half of the 38 million daily visitors are using smartphones or tablets.

On smartphones, Safari is the most commonly used browser, though this could also be a sign of Android users being split across different browsers. According to Pornhub, Safari accounts for 38.2 percent of its mobile browser-based traffic and the default Android browser accounts for 29.4 percent, but Chrome is at 18 percent, while Internet Explorer is at 2.4 percent. Rounding out the top five is Opera Mini, at 2.3 percent.

Internet Explorer, Safari and the Android browser are exclusive to their respective platforms, but others like Chrome and Opera Mini are multiplatform.

On tablets, the difference is more marked - Safari accounts for a whopping 73 percent, while Chrome was 13.6 percent of the audience, followed by the Android browser at 7.8 percent, and Amazon Silk at 4.8 percent. BlackBerry rounds off the top five for tablets, accounting for 0.69 percent of viewers. Of course, this is also might just be a reflection of the overall tablet sales - iPad users are not necessarily more interested in porn, just more in number.

On the desktop though, Chrome is by far the most popular option, accounting for 44.4 percent of all Pornhub views, followed by Internet Explorer, at 23.2 percent, and Firefox at 20 percent. Safari and Opera follow, at 7 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively

15-year-old girl invents flashlightpowered by heat from hands

A 15 year old girl in Canada has invented a flashlight that produces light just by using the warmth of your hand. Ann Makosinski, from British Columbia, invented the thermoelectric 'Hollow Flashlight' that works via the thermoelectric effect. 

The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice-versa. "I'm sure we've all had that annoying experience when we desperately need a flashlight, we find one, and the batteries are out," Makosinski told NBC News. "Imagine how much money we would save and the amount of toxins leached into the soil etc reduced if we didn't use any batteries in flashlights!" she said. 

To create the flashlight, Makosinski measured how much electricity could be generated from the heat of a palm about 57 milliwatts and how much she needed to light the LED about half a milliwatt. Next, she got several Peltier tiles which when warm on one side and cool on the other could generate electricity, and a few other bits necessary to make the current usable by a normal LED. 

Finally, she mounted the tiles and circuitry onto a hollow aluminum tube; air inside the tube would cool the Peltier tiles, while the warmth of a hand would heat the other side. With a little tweaking of voltages and other components, the invention worked. 

The light generated is modest, but enough to find your keys or light the page of a book. It worked for around half an hour in her tests at an ambient temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius, but would last longer or shorter depending on temperature differences. "The flashlight I have made is more of a prototype then a final product, but the components in my device are quite strong," Makosinski said. "Of course, if it was to be used and manufactured, I would try to seal off the electronic components in some sort of casing so that it wouldn't get heavily exposed to the elements (example water), and therefore last longer," she said. 

Makosinski has submitted her invention for the Google Science Fair and will be in California to visit Google headquarters in September 2013 for the final judging event.
