    what does PR means?
    Abbreviation for PageRank - you can view the PageRank of a site by using various online PageRank checking tools, the Google toolbar for Internet Explorer or Firefox.

    is SEO means search engine optimization?
    Yes

    how much does google adsense pay?
    Google AdSense pays a percentage of what an advertiser is charged for each click. Google does not disclose what this percentage is.

    PPC means pay per click? how does it works?
    Pay Per Click - every time some one clicks on an ad, the advertiser is charged a fee. If a publisher is involved, they are paid a percentage.

    how much do i get per click?
    You get a percentage of the fee charged the advertiser, Google does not disclose the percentage, but it is thought to be around 50-60%

    Browse around the forums and you'll find a number of answers to questions like these and others you're probably interested in. Posting in a related forum will likely yield the best results. ;)

    Also id like to add that they wern't stupid questions as we all start from the beginning at some time and i remember not knowing what PPC and all that meant, and im still learning a huge amount of brand new stuff all the time.

    Its really nice to see that you got polite and helpful answers, bravo CReed :)

    thank you for your help people.

    honestly i have never build a site to do business before.... allways charge for build them.. but not to run it.

    i'll run a directory completly free... but i don't understand the concept of have a website to earn money. I mean..
    if i am not charging people to sign in.... and if i'm not selling marketing banners space.... how do i make money?
    i have been seen about affiliate programs, ads and ppc... but it sounds wierd.

    i do understand that internet is not free as they want us to belive...
    servers, conections, fiberoptics.... someone has to pay for it.

    Thanks for your 2 cents.

    I am in the same line now my friend.
    the issues i have to build an online business is that i am not a us citizen.
    i live in panama city, panama (central america)
    this country kinda sucks... but it has it good things too...

    many business here are free tax inport/export stuff... here we have a lot of retaliers for south america and europe.
    our mailing sistem sucks... and dropshipers are expensive... so selling tru internet is not an option.

    I want to build a directory and sell the service... but i have no database... and billing sistems for people oustide us are expensive and limitated.

    because i wanna build a database i'll offer the directory for free... but in the mean time... i want to get some cash at least to keep the servers up and runing.
    that's why i'm asking how all this ppc and ads works....
