Welcome to searchenginebasics.it.com. These terms set out the rules for using this site. By browsing or reading any page here, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, the simplest option is to not use the site.
Who we are
searchenginebasics.it.com is an educational resource that explains how search engines work in plain English. We publish guides, glossary entries, and blog posts on crawling, indexing, ranking, and related topics. Nothing here is a contract for services, and we don’t sell anything through this site.
Using this site
You can read, browse, and share links to our content freely. We only ask that you don’t do the following:
- Scrape or republish large portions of our content without permission
- Use automated tools to overload our servers or disrupt the site
- Try to access parts of the site that aren’t meant to be public
- Use the site in a way that breaks any applicable law
If you do any of these, we reserve the right to restrict or block your access.
Content ownership
All original text, graphics, and page layouts on this site belong to searchenginebasics.it.com unless we say otherwise. You can quote short passages for commentary or review, with a link back to the original page, but you can’t copy whole articles and post them elsewhere as your own.
Some terms, company names, and product names mentioned on this site (Google, Googlebot, Ahrefs, Semrush, and similar) are trademarks of their respective owners. We reference them for educational purposes only, and that doesn’t imply any partnership or endorsement.
Links to other sites
Many of our pages link to outside resources: Google Search Central documentation, Search Engine Land, Moz, Backlinko, and similar publications. We link to these because they add useful context, not because we control or vouch for everything on those sites. Once you click through, you’re subject to that site’s own terms and privacy practices, not ours. If an external link breaks or points somewhere outdated, let us know and we’ll fix it.
No professional advice
This site explains how search engines work in general terms. It’s not personalized SEO consulting, and following something you read here doesn’t guarantee any particular ranking outcome. Search engines change their systems constantly, and what’s accurate today may shift. Treat our content as a starting point for understanding, not a guaranteed playbook.
Disclaimer of liability
We do our best to keep information accurate and current, and we date every major page so you can see when it was last reviewed. Even so, we make no promises that the content is complete, error free, or suited to your specific situation. Your use of this site, and any decisions you make based on it, are your own responsibility. We aren’t liable for losses or damages that result from relying on information published here.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site grows or as legal requirements change. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from your use of this site will be handled under that jurisdiction.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you spot something on the site that needs fixing, reach out through our Contact page. We try to keep things straightforward, and that includes how we explain our own rules.
