    Learning internet marketing is a lonnnggg process which is never ending. Some of us here are completely new to IM, some of us are experienced, and some of us are experts. When starting out, something which drove me nuts was coming across abbreviations for different terms which I would have to go look up (ie: internet marketing (IM)--obvious, but you get my point) before I could move on.

    For all the newbies, here are some popular abbreviations for terms used in IM:

    ppc= pay per click
    ppl= pay per lead
    ppa= pay per action
    ctr= click through rate
    seo= search engine optimization
    cpc= cost per click
    plr= private label rights
    pr= page rank
    mlm= multilevel marketing
    wso= warrior special offer
    tos= terms of service
    RR - resale Rights
    MRR - Master Resale Rights
    IMO - In My Opinion
    CPA - Cost Per Action
    SERP - Search Engine Results Page
    ROI - Return On Investment
    AM - Article Marketing
    LSI - Latent Semantic Indexing
    MFA - Made For Adsense

    These are terms that immediately came to mind. I think that sometimes, especially with more experienced marketers, what seems obvious to them is still confusing for people just starting out. Anyone want to add to the list?

    That is actually a pretty good collection. I don't consider myself a newbie but I wasn't familiar with LSI

    Most of us (Webmasters) use abbreviations of some technical terms related to Internet Marketing and It's very difficult for newbies to know the full form of them. Thank you for your sharing and if I have some, I will put them as soon as I get them.

    Another couple you'll see here on this forum:

    IANAL - I am not a lawyer. (Nice disclaimer when throwing in your two cents on a legal topic.)

    VRE - virtual real estate

    IM = Internet marketing or instant message, depending on the context

    OP = original post or original poster
