Keyword

Keyword is a bit of a misnomer, because it can refer to a word or entire phrase that appears in web searches. 

However, in either case, it refers to a word or phrase representing a specific search term and idea. Websites will build strategies to rank for particular keywords that are closely related to their products or services, in order to generate more traffic and leads.

Meta Description

A meta description is an HTML tag for a web page that describes the page briefly, summarizing it. 

Meta descriptions are read by search engines and often displayed for users. For example, the brief description for web pages you see in Google results is often pulled directly from the page’s meta description.

Guest Blog

Blogs written by a third-party organization or individual for a website on a specific topic. Guest blogs usually come with the expectation that the writer’s organization is linked and/or mentioned within the article or author biography. This provides a passive benefit for the writer to promote their efforts elsewhere, while also providing relevant information for the site’s readers.

Depending on the policies of the publishing site, the blogs may be subject to editorial review.

Above the Fold

Originally, Above the Fold referred to print newspapers, and described everything on the top half of the front page.

In website design, Above the Fold refers to any elements that are visible at the top of a webpage, usually the site’s homepage, without having to scroll down.

Optimizing the design of your homepage above the fold can be important to make a good first impression and clarify the intent of your website for the user. However, on some mobile-first or app-based sites, other considerations present themselves, since scrolling for the majority of a page’s content is more expected on these platforms.
