Introduction to GBOB Course Terms
📌 This is the first lecture of Module One for the Free GBOB Course 2025, focusing on essential terminology needed for subsequent lectures.
✍️ Understanding these terms is crucial for effective communication with both vendors and clients.
⏳ The crucial terminology section has been split into two parts (Lecture 1 and Lecture 2) to avoid overly long video sessions.

Core GBOB Concepts
📌 GBOB stands for Guest Blogging Outreach Business.
🗣️ Outreach involves contacting and negotiating with two main groups: vendors (website owners) and clients (those needing links).
📝 Guest Blogging is the act of publishing an article as a guest writer on someone else's website.

Blogging Terminology Explained
📰 A Blog is a website or section of a website dedicated to sharing informative content across different categories (e.g., Home, Business, Health).
✍️ Blogging is the process of creating and publishing informational content on one's own website.
🔗 A Blog Post is an informational article published on one's own blog; a Guest Blog Post is published on another entity's site.

The Live Link and Website Ownership
🔗 A Live Link is the specific URL shared by the website admin confirming that your guest article has been successfully published.
🚫 Owning your own website is not mandatory for GBOB; 80-90% of successful students started without one.
➕ Having your own website is considered a plus point for branding and leveraging guest posts for your site's benefit.

The Role of SEO and Traffic
🔎 SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, the technique used to optimize a website so it ranks highly in search engine results (like Google) for specific queries (Search Keywords).
📈 SEO is a lengthy process involving 200+ factors; Guest Posting is identified as one of the top four ranking factors.
📊 Traffic is defined as the number of monthly visitors to a website, which is directly linked to potential income generation through sales.

On-Page vs. Off-Page SEO
🛠️ SEO is broken down into On-Page SEO (content quality, design, site speed) and Off-Page SEO.
🔗 Off-Page SEO primarily involves building backlinks (relationships/connections between websites).
🥇 Guest Blogging is considered the strongest method for building high-quality backlinks and improving website SEO.

Backlink Mechanics and Types
🏷️ The clickable text on a hyperlink is called the Anchor Text; the actual destination URL hidden behind it is the Backlink.
🔗 Backlinks are categorized as No Follow, Do Follow, and Sponsored.
🛑 No Follow links offer only the traffic benefit (visitors clicking the link) but provide no SEO "authority recommendation."
✅ Do Follow links provide both traffic and SEO authority/recommendation to the client's site, leading to better rankings.
💸 Sponsored links provide some authority but signal to Google that the link was paid for, reducing its effectiveness compared to Do Follow.

The GBOB Business Model (Three Parties)
🤝 The GBOB business operates between three parties: the Client, the Vendor (website owner/admin), and the Link Building Expert (you).
📑 The Link Building Expert takes the client's article, gets it published on a vendor site, receives the live link, and delivers it to the client.
💰 Profit is made by setting a price with the client (e.g., \30$) and paying the vendor their fee (e.g., $\$20$), retaining the difference (e.g., \10$ profit per post).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Memorize all GBOB terms presented in this lecture, as they are foundational for understanding and executing the business model.
➡️ Anchor Text is the specific text a user clicks on, which hides the Backlink (the actual destination URL).
➡️ Do Follow links are the most valuable for SEO improvement as they carry SEO "recommendation/authority" beyond just providing referral traffic.
➡️ The core GBOB activity is facilitating a relationship where the Client's site gets powerful backlinks from Vendor sites via the Link Building Expert.
