Hi y'all

Thanks for the info, Dollar (what a name  smiley) - there were quite a few of the acronyms I either didn't know about or didn't know the meaning of, so thanks. I've learnt something new I didn't know yesterday, or 5 minutes ago for that matter ;-)

I definitely didn't know quite a few of these myself.  A lot of webpreneurs make the mistake of using these acronyms in their marketing without remembering that many people have no idea what most of these technical terms stand for...especially if they're new to Internet marketing.  It's great that you've defined them here.  Thanks for this reference list! smiley
