A referring domain is a metric used to track the number of domains directed to your website. For example, if a site has a backlink from The Wall Street Journal, then it has one referring domain. The Ahrefs Site Explorer is a great tool to find your website’s referring domains, among other metrics, including backlinks and competitor’s keywords? 

  

d. Organic Traffic
 

Organic traffic is traffic generated by users who visit websites from unpaid search results, as opposed to paid ads that generate the traffic. A great way to monitor your site’s organic traffic for free is via Google Analytics. The user landing on your website is only the first step to turning those people into customers

e. Keywords 

An essential part of attracting traffic is using keywords on your web pages. Keywords are words that are used in your website content to generate traffic to your site. Keywords for your unique website are chosen by looking at the keyword volume to help you grow organically in search engines Google and Bing. 

  

f. Search Results 

Search results are the results a user gets when they type in a search query on a search engine. Results will match up to your phrase or words you type into Google or Bing. Your search results will show on a SERP, a search engine results page, and allow you to see paid (ads) and organic search results. 

g. Rankings 

  Rankings in SEO refer to the position of the website URL on the SERPs. There are many ranking factors that determine where your site will end up on the search engine page. The ranking is important as most people never scroll past the first page of Google.

According to HubSpot, 75% of searchers never go past the first page of search results — therefore it is so essential to rank on the first page of Google
