Search Engine Poisoning

A cyberattack where bad actors create pages optimized to rank for popular queries, then use those pages to distribute malware or steal credentials. It's a reminder that trust signals like domain authority and backlink quality exist for a reason.

Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)

The pages Google (or any search engine) displays after a user submits a query. Modern SERPs include organic listings, paid ads, featured snippets, knowledge panels, and other features — all competing for the same click.

Search Intent

The reason behind a search query — whether the user wants to learn something (informational), find a specific site (navigational), compare options (commercial), or complete a purchase (transactional). Matching search intent is the first requirement for ranking.

Search Results

The ranked list of pages a search engine returns for a given query. Your position in search results depends on a combination of content relevance, technical health, user experience, and backlink strength.
