Glossary

Don’t know your podcasting from your vodcasting? Confused as to the meaning of search engine optimisation? And what exactly is a blog? Or blogging? Or the blogosphere?

Here for the first time, in our fabulous Online PR and Social Media Glossary (phew), are our slightly tongue-in-cheek definitions for all the latest buzzwords doing the rounds.

(And writing them kept the immediate future team amused for at least a whole afternoon!)

Term Definition
Online brand protectionUnauthorised use of logos and images; domain names that discredit your company; and gripe sites: all ways in which your online brand can be damaged. Online brand protection protects your brand from online abuse and reports culprits to the search engines. Now that’s serious stuff.

PageRankGoogle uses PageRank to score pages of a website in terms of importance and relevance, and the quality of other pages it links to. Named after Larry Page. Scores range from 1 to 10, where 10 is an extremely popular site and 0 is - you do the math.
 
Paid search marketingPaid search marketing is when the search engines show ads for your business, including links to your website, on their search engine results page. You pay the search engine if the visitor clicks on the ad (Pay-per-click or PPC). Could be a few pence a day. Or a whole bunch of bucks.
 
Pareto PrincipleThe Pareto principle, named after the Italian economist, is also know as the 80/20 rule. It refers to the fact that 80% of your results stem from 20% of your actions or 80% of your outcomes come from 20% of your inputs. So basically stop faffing and concentrate on the stuff that works.
