While blogging is done by armies of pajama-clad ordinary people, podcasting is done by many of these same people, though less often in pajamas, in front of a digital or audio recorder.

Most of us have a specified limit to the amount of traffic our web servers will handle for us. That limit seems very generous - until you start looking at image downloads and the bandwidth required. A few dozen users downloading an image - that's one thing. But what if you have an image that dozens of other websites like?
PageRank is Google's way of determining a website's worth based on the number of incoming links it has. Essentially, Google counts the number of links pointing to the site and interprets it as confidence votes. Simply put, the more votes for a site, the worthier the site is in the eyes of Google.
Clustering may mean to have two or more computer systems working together or multiple servers linked together for the purpose of handling variable workloads as well as to provide continued operation in case one fails.

A high-volume site like Yahoo! knows that the actual quality of service any web server provides to end users basically depends on network-transfer speed and server response time. Network-transfer speed refers to the Internet-link bandwidth while server-response time depends upon resources including fast CPU, lots of RAM and good I/O performance.

A link farm is a network of sites that link to other sites for the sole purpose of increasing link popularity. This is when a website gets hundreds of links to unrelated sites in exchange for reciprocal links. This is termed as spamming and any website who relates to link farms is penalized by removal from a search engine's index.
Content spamming, in its simplest form, is the taking of content from other sites that rank well on the search engines, and then either using it as-it-is or using a utility software like Articlebot to scramble the content to the point that it can't be detected with plagiarism software. In either case, your good, search-engine-friendly content is stolen and used, often as part of a doorway page, to draw the attention of the search engines away from you.
