About this glossary

Source attribution – Glossary

Source attribution means links or citations included by AI answers to credit original pages. This builds trust and drives traffic back to the source.

Use clear answers, cite your own sources, and include structured data. These signals increase the chance your site is credited.

Examples

  • Policy page: Short summary at the top plus a full policy section, AI quotes the summary and links back to your page.
  • How to guide: A quick answer box with steps below, AI composes a brief instruction and credits your guide.

About this glossary

I’m building this glossary to become a better developer and website strategist, in my ongoing quest to build clearer, better websites. It maps how terms relate, adds practical examples, and highlights best practices so I can communicate more clearly with clients. If it helps others too, great.

It’s a living resource, I aim to cite sources clearly. If you spot errors or omissions, please contact me so I can update it. Drafts may be assisted by AI, I review and fact check before publishing. For details on how I use AI, see AI Use at Webmarks.
