Hi y'all

Thanks for the info, Dollar (what a name

) - 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 ;-)

Thank you so much! I am quite new to online business and i kept seeing these acronyms all across forums and everywhere else. Atleast now i know what the mean, or stand for atleast

rankyu · « **Reply #6 on:** May 12, 2008, 07:50:45 PM »

Thanks. How often are all of these acronyms used?

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!

Thank you Dolar for all these acronyms.
I didn't see the clasic URL = Uniform Resource Locator.
I was surprised to see how many people didn't know what URL means.
Thanks again.
