As my cool rock star self does battle with my almighty geek self, I find myself drawn toward reading more and more about developing websites, gaining web traffic, and search engine optimization (SEO). I’ve toyed with a couple of theories here and there on this site, but by and large, all that has just been for a bit of fun. I am slowly learning though. Two months ago I had no idea what a ‘301 redirect’ was, but after doing a lot of searching, followed by a liberal dose of trial and error, I think I successfully solved that case.

SEO is still a bit of a mystery to me though. One of the big barriers to picking up SEO has been the butt load of jargon that goes along with it. There is the whole white hat/black hat thing, CPM, CTR, CPC, Pay Per Click, link baiting, link farming, sandbox, SERPs, and I could probably keep going on, but then I’d risk losing you. If you’re new to this, like me, then you’ll find the Apogee Search SEO glossary a useful source of information on the jargon that lurks within the search engine marketing world.

Actually, I’d also recommend checking out the Apogee Search Blog as it also has some high quality information you may be able to put to good use.
