Sorry for the lame question.
I had figured out PR but the O / zero had me fooled. I thought PR rank started at 1, since that is what my sites are.

Thanks for setting me straight.

no, PR starts at 0, and continues until 10. If you site has a PR0, its either new, or does not have good back links. IF you have a PR10 (which only 20 websites online currently have) than that means you are "important" and "reliable" as google. PR0=$0, PR10=Priceless.

Your effort is very helpful, and I have to thank you for it. But also, I have to point out a bit of flawed reasoning:

The problem here is that most web masters never formally agree to the Terms of Service of particular search engines. It's not a huge problem since all they can really do if you violate their terms is remove you from their index, and really nothing outside their own site.

But for any terms of service to be legally binding, both parties must agree to them, and this should be cemented in writing, with signatures.

Your thread is really very informative. It includes all the basic terms related to SEO. But i think deep linking term is missing in your thread.

Thank you for this thread. I was particularly interested in the information on robots and recipricol linking. Thanks again I will use this info on my website

Hi,

I'm curious about code to text ratio, does anyone know how to measure it and how it will help a developing site gain ranking, for instance? I'm currently helping develop an excellent website for real estate here, the http://www.globalpropertyguide.com. I need just a little help with a few difficult SEO terms and tactics. If you got suggestions, please pm me -- thank you!

I'm curious about code to text ratio,

Don't be it's a myth.

does anyone know how to measure it

You can't. It doesn't exist

how it will help a developing site gain ranking

It won't. See points 1 & 2

If the above are samples of the difficult terms and tactics I'd say you have a lot to learn

Spend some time reading the forums here, and ask questions on what you don't "get"

Hey do you know what is link baiting. I have heard this term so many times in different articles but still not clear.

"link baiting" is the technique of writing something (Article, Blog post etc) that is either very good, total crap or controversial, with the express intentions of getting other sites to discuss it and link to it.

tks i'am can't say all this termes . good travel sir

Great List, Thanks!

I am new in this field. This will really help in getting idea of SEO but I have a question.

What is meant by "Buying Links" and why people buy links (would appreciate if explained with example)?

Thanks

yes you can Buying Links through any site which gets a high traffic and it gives you more targetted traffic.
You can also buying links on the google through "Adword".
I hope everything is clear.

I hope everything is clear.

Anything but!!!

Adwords is NOT NOT NOT buying links.

buy links , read this note,
How do you came to know that they are selling links, if you know, Google's Interpol dept also knows.
If it is only a link then ok but if it is links from many pages, donot get to the same page with same anchor text, please donot ask why, All we can say is it not worthy.
Many links from one site can sometimes be considered only one link(need to get links from different C Class IPs)
I believe buying text links is much more cost effective then PPC especially if you are buying PPC for competitive wordsEnjoy

I would like to add some SEO Terms:

A site map (or sitemap) is a web page that lists the pages on a web site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.

Use of sitemap: for easier navigation and better visibility by search engines.

Keyword prominence - measures how close the keyword appears of the beginning of the sentence. The closer to the beginning your targeted keyword appears, the higher the prominence will be, with a higher keyword prominence being favorable....

Cheers...
