A term used in Internet marketing to describe the point

in effective PPC advertising.

affiliate program / affiliate link
Affiliate programs allow other people to sell your products
on a commission basis. All your affiliates really do is
place link to your site. When a visitor arrives at your
site, your affiliate program "makes a note" of
the site that referred him. If a visitor buys something
and the referring site belongs to one of your affiliates,
you pay that affiliate either a percentage of the sale or
a fixed amount - according to your agreement.
agent name delivery
Different pages can be presented at the same URL. Different
pages are delivered based on the agent name requesting the
page. Typically, agent names starting with "Mozilla"
indicate regular browsers while search engine spiders use
names like Googlebot, Scooter etc. Agent Name Delivery is
not a very effective form of cloaking though. Search engines
can (and do) disguise spiders as "Mozilla" agents.
Also see cloaking, IP delivery.
algorithm
Algorithms are sets of rules according to which search engines
rank web pages. Figuring out the algorithms is a major part
of SEO. The thinking is that if you understand how they
calculate relevance, you can make specific pages on your
site super relevant for specific search terms. For more
on algorithms and SEO in general, please refer to the Search
Engine Yearbook.
algorithm-based software
Data mining software typically used for statistical analysis.
algorithmic search
A term often used in the financial community to distinguish

the second largest database (after Google). It also did
well in relevancy test: 3rd after Google and Wisenut. It
lost out in the speed test though. It came in last. For
more details on that study, AllTheWeb and the other search
engines worth knowing about, please refer to the Search
Engine Yearbook.

alt attribute
More commonly known as the "alt tag". The alt
attribute is an HTML element specified within an image tag.
The syntax is:
<IMG SRC="main-logo.gif" ALT="Pandecta
Logo">
The text in the alt attribute, "Pandecta Logo"
in this example, will be displayed in the place of the image
"main-logo.gif" while the image loads or if the
user has images turned off. In most browsers the text also
appears as a "tool tip" when the user hovers the
mouse pointer over the image after it has loaded.
Creating an alt attribute for images is not required, but
recommended since the alt text is factored into the algorithms
of most search engines.
alt tag
Common name (erroneous) for the alt attribute.
alt text
Text specified in the alt attribute.
anchor text
Also called link text, referring to the text that appears
in a text link. For example, if I link to the Pandecta Magazine
web site like this: Click here, then "Click here"
is the anchor text for the link. Some search engines - notably
Google - take anchor text into account when ranking sites.
It is therefore beneficial to have keywords in the anchor
text of links pointing to your site.
applet
A small application, usually in Java, usually for use on
the Web.
ArchitextSpider
The name of the Excite search engine's spider.
Ask Jeeves
www.askjeeves.com
A fairly popular search engine. Its claim to fame is that
it lets you to enter plain text questions as opposed to
only keywords. Ask Jeeves receives search results from Teoma,
Overture and ODP.
