Backlink
A backlink is linked text on a website that sends the user to another website. You’ll often see sources cited in articles via backlinks to another source.
Backlinks are extremely important for website authority, because you are aligning yourself with related websites and sources within your industry. It’s just as important to work toward obtaining links from other sites to yours, which signals to search engines that your website is useful and trustworthy. Many strategies exist for maximizing a site’s backlink profile.

Total Addressable Market
Refers to the entirety of a company’s potential customer base. The total addressable market might be used to refer to the broadest possible marketing campaign that would still reach a relevant audience.
Often, this market is used not to create marketing campaigns, but to break into sub-groups, from which more targeted marketing efforts can be made to more specialized but still large groups of potential customers.

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a program wherein third-party individuals or websites (affiliates) generate traffic or leads to a particular product, company or service. These affiliates then get revenue from leads or sales generated by their efforts.
This is common in influencer marketing, for instance, where an image or video will link to certain products, and the influencer will receive a small portion of any sales made from the link they provide. Certain industries will have opt-in programs as well, such as photography sites that provide affiliate links to the gear they use in exchange for revenue from the companies who benefit.
