What is the Frames and Directories ?

This is the descriptions of Directories and Frames in Search Engines technical term that you’ll need to know for having better understanding about SEO

Directories
When webmasters realized just how much power inbound links have in determining search rankings they quickly set out to do two things:
Get inbound links
Set up web sites where other webmasters could achieve inbound links (meaning big traffíc revenues for the site). Hence the directory farms you'll find today. Link building has been a priority on the líst of any SEO-savvy webmaster for years, and as a result "quick fix" directories that allow streamlined listing submissions get a ton of traffic. However, Google and the other major search engines are on to this tactic, and the word among SEO "experts" is that the benefits of listing your site at directories are diminished if not gone.

Frames
Frames are a way of laying out a website with multiple documents in one browser window. Essentially, there is one main document which contains the frame set tag - this document specifies the dimensions/placement of the frames and also the documents that will "populate" those frames. From an SEO standpoint the use of frames for your layout is not recommended. Since frames do not use links in the same way, and since links may point to one frame from another, they may cause serious problems for crawlers. Additionally, there are almost no uses for frames that can't either be 1) duplicated with other methods or 2) thrown away without much fuss. If your site was built with frames and you're thinking you don't want to rebuild - it might be tough luck if you're interested in optimizing for search. Consider it a learning experience - build yourself a CSS-based layout.

What is the Algorithms and Crawlers ?

Even SEO is the one most important thing that needed for sites traffic, but some of us don't realize is that not everyone knows even the basics of SEO. This is the list of Search Engines technical term that you’ll need to know to intelligently engage the ever-changing world of SEO.

Algorithms
A search algorithm is, in short, the incredibly complex mathematical formula that a search engine uses to "rank" web sites for keywords. Based on a huge number of variables and calculations, algorithms are among the most closely-guarded secrets on the internet. Why? Imagine if they were leaked - suddenly the less-than-honest would have a very specific guideline to follow in climbing to the top of search results in a less-than-organic way, ruining the quality of Google's search results and their entire competitive advantage with it.

Crawlers
Also same known as Robots, Spiders, Bot or Bots. Googlebot, for example, is a search engine crawler. Googlebot periodically traverses the web in record time, indexing content, links or/and everything contained in page source code and storing it in Google's search index. Then, when a user visits Google and enters a search phrase, the index, filtered by the algorithm, is what the user gets. Please note: there is some delay in this process since the results you're getting are from the index and not the live web.

These are the words and phrases that newcomers have the most trouble with; and hope these definitions can help the person have a better understanding of SEO

Create an eBook

One of the easiest ways to make money as an affiliate is to create an eBook that is loaded with valuable content, but also contains affiliate links (your affiliate links) to relevant products

For example:
  • If you put out a 30 page eBook on cooking secret, you could have affiliate links to:
  • Home study courses on how to cook
  • Kitchen products (pan, stiller ,etc)
  • Cooking schools (for those who want to be professionals)
  • Courses on how to start your own cooking business
You've got the idea. Provide valuable content in your eBook, but also insert links to products and services that you think the reader would benefit from
