Orphan Page

A page on your site with no internal links pointing to it, making it nearly invisible to both users and search engine crawlers. Orphan pages rarely rank because they receive no internal link equity and may never be crawled.

Off-page SEO

Every optimization action taken outside your own website to influence where you rank — primarily link building, brand mentions, social signals, and digital PR. Off-page SEO is where backlink strategies and platforms like KarmaLinks fit into the broader SEO picture.

On-page SEO

Optimizations you make directly on your web pages — headings, title tags, content quality, internal links, image alt text, and URL structure — to help search engines understand and rank them. On-page SEO is fully within your control.

Open Graph Meta Tags

HTML tags that control how a page's title, description, and image appear when someone shares the URL on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social platforms. Optimized Open Graph tags increase social click-through rates, which can drive referral traffic and indirect backlinks.

Organic Search Results

The unpaid listings on a search results page, ordered by the search engine's relevance algorithm. Organic results account for the majority of clicks and are earned through SEO efforts — not purchased like paid ads.

Organic Traffic

Visitors who reach your website by clicking an unpaid search result. Growing organic traffic is the primary objective of SEO, and it compounds over time as your content earns rankings and backlinks.

Outbound Link

A link on your website that sends visitors to a page on another domain. Outbound links to authoritative sources can support your content's credibility, and for the receiving site, each outbound link from you becomes a backlink in their link profile.
