Looking for how to define Title Tag and Traffic? Learn the definition of these words and other search marketing terms that start with the letter T.

Title Tag : string of text found between the <title></title> tags in the header of an HTML document. This text cannot be seen directly on the web page, but is displayed in the search engine results pages when the URL appears in response to a search query. While the title is often duplicated in the actual web page, it is important to remember that the two are separate components.

Traffic : visitors to a web site; a major goal of SEO is to drive targeted web traffic to a web page that will effectively convert visitors into buyers.
