3. The Link popularity is one of the most important thing when it comes to SEO. Link popularity means the amount of links that point to your site. The link popularity will raise your site in the eyes of the search engines depending on the quality and quantity of the links.
4. Keyword is the quintessential piece of information of the context. They’re important for both sides – to the site owners and the search engine users. The former need them to get identified properly by the search engine spiders, the latter use them to find the information.
5. Spiders (crawlers) are the programs that follow the links and send the data to the search engine database for the further analysis.
6. META tags are specific HTML tags used at the top of the page. The Main purpose of having them, is to provide the additional information on the web page for the spiders to read it. The most important tag is the Keywords tag along with the Description tag.
