Glossary of Terms
*1 SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
SEO is a method of improving and optimizing the content of a website with the objective of achieving a prominent position in the search results display on major portal site search engines. Internet marketing recognizes that at present, visitors to a site that arrive via a search engine are a significant proportion of conversions. Identifying keywords and phrases related to a site that will push it up the search results listing has become an integral part of operating a web site.
 
 *2 LPO (Landing Page Optimization)
LPO is a method of reducing the landing page bounce rate, increasing the number of users who continue on deeper into the site and improving sales and registrations. This is achieved by automatically displaying information optimized for certain visitor parameters including search term, IP address and time. Over the past few years LPO has come to be considered as a cost effective advertising promotion technique and method of increasing the advertising value of web media.
 
*3. Long Tail
The sum total hits received by all Internet pages with a low frequency of hits is greater than sum total hits received by all pages with a high frequency of hits. This phenomenon is the Internet’s long tail. It is common for example on Internet mail order sites, unlike in regular stores, for sales of the top 20% of products to be less than sales of the remaining 80% of products. The same phenomenon is believed to apply to search engines where search terms that occur at a low frequency account for a higher proportion of searches than search terms that occur at a high frequency.
