Stop word
In computing, stop words are words which are filtered out before or after processing of natural language data (text). Though "stop words" usually refers to the most common words in a language, there is no single universal list of stop words used by all natural language processing tools, and indeed not all tools even use such a list.
Stop words are a key component of any successful SEO strategy, as they can have a significant impact on the ranking of your website in search results.
