Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Splash page
also called a doorway page, the first page a user often comes upon when arriving at a Website, though usually not the Homepage. Often the splash page displays a paragraph or two describing the site’s contents. The purpose of such a page is to incorporate keywords and phrases that will get the site listed on the major search engines. A Website may have several splash pages, each using a different set or a combination of keywords, with the intention of picking up more and higher search engine ratings.
