A/B testing

An A/B test, also known as a split test, bucket test or conversion rate optimisation, is a controlled experiment used in online analytics, where two variables (e.g. headline, icons, buttons, colours, text, image) differ. By measuring which of the two variables is more successful for a given outcome, analysts can continually optimise a website and maximise results (clicks, sign ups, purchases, etc.).

In the example below, the variable is button colour and the outcome is a click through rate. The green button has a higher conversion rate.

Although algorithms are closely guarded by the companies that employ them, webmasters and marketers need to be aware of updates as broad scale algorithm changes can affect marketing performance, SEO strategy, Google ranking, and much more.

Why would search engines and social platforms change their algorithms? To level the playing field and force companies to continually produce relevant content, but most importantly – so they pay to use advertising services and reach more users.

Here’s a list of Google Algorithm updates on Moz

AR (Augmented Reality)

Backlink – AKA Inbound Link

A backlink – or inbound link – is simply a hyperlink from an external website to your website or resource.

Search Engines like Google value backlinks from reputable websites (those with a good PageRank) and so, for each backlink you receive, you slightly improve your SEO.

However, not all links are created equal. Some backlinks can hurt your SEO, and some backlinks are designated “NoFollow” – which means search engines do not register them.

NoFollow links might be used for a number of reasons – to avoid spammers targeting your comment box, to avoid search engines miscategorising your website.

In HTML, a NoFollow link looks like this:

<a href=”https://hubbublabs.wpengine.com/” rel=”nofollow”>TEXT</a>

A Follow link, by contrast, does pass on the SEO benefits to the linked website.

Beacons

A beacon is a machine that uses bluetooth networks to connect with nearby mobile devices. Often installed in supermarkets and other large shops, they serve ads, sale information or user-targeted offers. They also track customer movements in store to provide metadata on a very literal buyer’s journey.

  • Unstructured data refers to unorganised data, often including text, images, emails, social media content, etc.

Big data analysis is used to: understand market and consumer trends;  build highly accurate customer segments for ad targeting; serve personalised newsletter offers; improve logistics and supply chain management; identify pain points in the customer journey; and other applications.

Blacklist (email marketing)

A blacklist is a collection of servers (IP addresses) or domain names marked by blacklist service as spam. If your domain is listed on a blacklist and and the server you mail to is subscribed to that black list, then your email will (probably) be marked as spam.

An IP address can end up on a blacklist if you’re sending a huge number of emails from a particular server or the mails that you send have spam-like qualities. If you have used an email scraping services you may also have fallen into a gooey spam trap.

Check out this Rackaid article to see a list of influential blacklist operations.
