Cost Per Click (CPC)

A calculation of how much each ad click costs in a given ad campaign. CPC can be affected by the ad itself, or by its competitive environment. If an ad is targeted at a high-volume search term, for example, more companies may be bidding for ads related to that search, thus driving up the price.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a term most often used in product development in business. It refers to the least a particular product needs to do in order to be usable by its intended user.

The purpose of the MVP is to create a usable product and get feedback on it immediately, before additional features are added. This can reduce development time by identifying flaws in a product early in the development process.

This can also relate to web-based applications, which often have non-core features that are not needed for the product to work well for a majority of its users.

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.

HTML

Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, is a coding language for items displayed in a web browser. HTML is the underlying coding language behind a lot of what you see on the internet.

Importantly, HTML often doesn’t operate alone to describe web elements. Complimentary languages such as CSS are often used to define the visual attributes, while HTML defines overarching site structure and metadata.
