Few Concepts

related to SEO
Page structure
Title :
▪A title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. Title
tags are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs) as the clickable
headline for a given result, and are important for usability, SEO, and social
sharing. The title tag of a web page is meant to be an accurate and concise
description of a page's content.
▪This is the first thing that user notices in search result list while using
Google for searching. Content should be up to 60 characters(space
included)
Meta Description :
▪ The meta description is an HTML attribute that provides a brief
summary of a web page. Search engines such as Google often
display the meta description in search results, which can influence
click-through rates.
Image tag with ALT attribute:
The alt attribute gives information about the image, so even if the
image does not download, it can make the viewers understand the
image related information.
Domains
• Domain names are the unique, human-readable Internet addresses of
websites. They are made up of three parts: a top-level domain (sometimes
called an extension or domain suffix), a domain name (or IP address), and
an optional subdomain
Top-level domain
Top-level domain (TLD) is the formal term for the suffix that
appears at the end of a domain name. Some example of top-level
domains include:
.com
.net
.org
.edu
Domain name
Domain names are the second level of a domain's hierarchy (after
the top-level domain). Domain names on a specific TLD (called a
root domain) are purchased from registrars and represent the
specific, unique location of a website
e.g. in www.example1.com example1 is domain name

Root domain
it typically refers to the combination of a unique domain name and
a top-level domain (extensions) to form a complete "website
address.“
e.g. Ilovedogs.net
• Subdomain
Subdomains are the third level of a domain's hierarchy. They are
added in front of the root domain and separated from the domain
name with a period.
For example, "blog.example.com" and "english.example.com" are
both subdomains of the "example.com" root domain.
e.g. http://www.example.com/ (www is subdomain)
postsecret.blogspot.com (postsecret is subdomain)
• Subfolder/Sub-directory
A sub-directory is also called a folder and is used instead of
sub-domain. Its part of the root domain or sub-domain on which it
is created.
e.g. postsecret.blogspot.com/2009 in 2009 is subfolder
