Heat Map
An analytical tool that monitors traffic to your website and produces a color-coded “heat” map of user behavior on a site. Areas that are scrolled and clicked more will show up as hotter than others.
This allows you to see how people interact with your site design, and make iterative improvements that generate more engagement with important site elements.

Keyword Stuffing
Keyword stuffing is a “black hat” SEO technique, wherein sites will “stuff” a webpage with words on a topic they’d like to rank for, but without concern for the usability, accuracy or informational value of the page.
This practice is frowned upon by search engines and can damage your search rankings if you engage in it.

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.

Lead
In marketing, a lead is a prospective customer. Not all leads are equally promising, and not all engagement types are the same that signify a potential lead. Any engagement with your company or website, though, indicates a potential lead.
