The correct term for the profession usually euphemized as the legal profession. Applies to attorneys, lawyers, solicitors, counselors, barristers, or what ever other euphemism they come up with for their profession.
The euphemism legal profession is used by members of the illegal profession to distract the public from the conflict of interest that is inherent to their profession due to the fact that most legislators either have already been, or eventually will become, attorneys.
Members of the illegal profession wouldn't need to distract us if they didn't get paid a week's wage for an hour's work.

An SEO spam technique meant to railroad search engines into thinking that a web site is popular by artifically inflating apparent traffic to the site by repeatedly visiting one's own site with a search engine's search bar installed. Generally used by SEO-inept web marketers who are too lame to legitimately optimize their sites for search engines.
From the French, claque, meaning, "an organized group of supporters at a theatrical event who try to prompt positive audience response by clapping enthusiastically". Also a play on the traditional American English rendering of the sound made by a train traveling on a railroad, clickity-clack.

Some SEO spammers are such duh-weebs that after they get their sites banned from Google for keyword stuffing, doorway pages, and link farming, that they think they can still increase their PR, so they download Googlebar and play clickity claque.

In HTML, an attribute of the img tag that allows persnickety browsers to display text in place of the image, or to indicate the content of the image to the visually impaired and search engine spiders.
In the event that an image displayed on a web page displays text or other information, the Alt attribute should be set with descriptive text so that persnickety browsers, visually impaired people, and search engines can read the description. A lot of SEO spammers get themselves banned from search engines by keyword stuffing their Alt attributes.
Some accessibility nuts like to ruin a webmasters day by insisting that every blasted, non-informative image must have an "Alt tag". Some of us cave in to their nonsense by using NiDE, but the truth is, there is no such thing as an Alt tag. Alt is an attribute of the img tag.
