    SERP is Search Engine Ranking Position. self-explanatory.

    WYSIWYG is pronounced wee-zee-weeg. What You See Is What You Get. refers to editors like Frontpage and Dreamweaver, where what you see during editing is what you will see when you publish the site.

    Another term(s) is "Organic search" and "paid search." Organic search refers to the search results (i.e. ranking high for keywords in the results) and paid search refers to the ads that show up (i.e. ranking high for keywords in the adsense either on pages or on the sides).

    Sounds easy enough when you see both organic and paid search mentioned, but when everyone's talking about organic search then it's not so obvious what they mean. :)
