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.

Infographics can be a great way to educate your audience without resorting to visually uninteresting text blurbs. This is particularly true when a graphic may help to explain a vital piece of data.

Unsubscribe Rate
The percentage of recipients who unsubscribe from an email after it is sent. In large-scale marketing, some unsubscribes are expected, but it’s a metric that can be monitored to ensure you aren’t putting off your audience with either the frequency or messaging of your email advertising.

Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
Search Engine Results Pages, or SERPs, are the numerous listings for search engine queries that are not strictly organic results. In a typical Google search, for example, you may see product listings for sale, a local map with business listing and their contact information, a “questions also asked” panel, and more. Getting your site and services listed in these can be a valuable way to increase both traffic and sales.
