Arbitrage, Canonical URL and other foreign Foods
“Arbitrage” and “Canonical URL” are of course not a type of foreign food, but if you don’t know what the real meaning of those terms is, how could you tell that they are not? That’s why do I and the other bloggers here at ReveNews provide you with helpful information and point you to good resources.
WebProNews reported on Friday about the newly released SEM Glossary by Aaron Wall from SEO Book.
SEM is one of the important abbreviations in the industry and means “Search Engine Marketing”, just in case you did not know that already.
I think the glossary will be very helpful, especially to the folks out there that are seasoned marketers, but are not too familiar with search engines, PPC marketing and search engine optimization.
News articles and blog posts about search by search engine marketers will often use, terms you might not really understand. The chances are slim that you will find an explanation for it right there in the post since the author often assumes that you are already familiar with the subject. Right in those moments will the glossary become quite handy. Make sure to keep it around.
Some Terms are controversial in nature and not everybody who considers himself an expert would agree on the definition provided by Aaron. He does not intend to spark a discussion about his definition of any terms in his glossary so he made a very funny note that states than any errors or “unique” descriptions can be explained by this.
He is an honest and good guy what I appreciate. He even refers to other search & marketing glossaries and dictionaries if you want to get a second opinion or alternative description to a term.
One of the other glossaries listed is MarketingTerms.com. MarketingTerms is a site entirely dedicated to explaining terms used by marketers, beyond search. You should check it out.
Speaking of glossaries for internet terminology. Have a look at this DNS terms and abbreviations glossary by Men and Mice.
Pretty interesting. DNS stands for Domain Name Server. DNS works as the yellow pages or phone books of the Internet. It tells your browser where the content for xyz.com is located to retrieve it. Now you will know how your web browser knows where and how to get the content from when you type in an URL in the browser address field.
