LESSON #10: Online Business Terms Defined

By | July 10, 2008

You may have noticed that the world of internet marketing has a language of it’s own, full of words that you might not be familiar with.

Since I’m going to be using those words throughout the lessons, it’s important that you have some understanding of what they mean, or at least a resource where you can find accurate definitions.

So today I’m simply going to cover the terms. More specifically, I’m going to cover 247 words that are used in the online business world…

(Watch this video…)

If you listen real carefully you can hear one of my kids crying in the background upstairs for the first half of the video 🙂 (ah the joys of working at home… don’t worry, their mom was watching them)

Main points:

In the video, I showed the definitons for the following words…

Ad Copy, Ad Tracker, AdSense, AdWords, Affiliate, Affiliate Link, Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Program, Affiliate Program Provider, AIM, Alexa, Anchor text, Applet, Attachment, Arbitrage, Article Marketing, Autoresponder, Avatar, B2B, B2C, Back Button, Back End, Banner ad, Banner exchange, Black Hat SEO, Blog, Bloggers, BMP, Brick and mortar, Branding, Business Plan, Butterfly marketing, Cache, Campaign, Camtasia, ClickBank, Content, Contextual advertising, Conversion Rate, Cookie, Copywriting, Cpanel, CPA, CPC, CPM, Crawler, Cross promotion, CSS, Dedicated hosting/dedicated server, del.icio.us, Digg, Digital delivery product, Direct response, Directory site, Domain Name, Doorway page, Download, Downsell, Double Opt-In, Ebay, E-business, E-book, E-mail, E-mail Marketing Campaigns, Emoticons, EPC, Ezine, FAQ, Fantastico, FFA pages, Firesale, First cookie, Flaming, Flash, Folksonomy, Forums, Forward, Freelancer, Free Reprint Articles, FTP, Fulfillment, Ghost site, GIF, Give Away Rights, Graphic, Guru, Handle, Hardware, Headline, Hits, Home-based business, Hot linking, HTML, Hosting, ICQ, IM, Impression, Inbound link, Incentivization, Infoproduct, Internet, Internet marketing, IRT, ISP, Javascript, JPG, JV, JV Broker, Keyword, Keyword density, Keyword research, Landing Page, Last cookie, Lead, Lead capture page, Left click, Link, Link Bait, Link cloaking, Link exchange, List building, Load time, Log in, Login Name, Mailbot, Master Resale Rights, Membership site, Message Boards, Merchant account, Meta Tags, Minisite, MLM, MSN, Mod, Mouse, MySQL, Navigate, Newbie, Newsletter, Netizen, Niche and Niche marketing, Netiquette, One Time Offer (OTO), Online, offline, Opt-in & Permission-based marketing, Outsource, Page impressions, Password, Payment threshold, PayPal, Payment processor, PDF, Phishing, PHP, Physical product, Plugins, PM, Podcast, Pop in, Pop up, Pop under, Post, PPC advertising, PPL, PPP, Private Label Rights (PLR), PR (page rank), Press Release, Presell, Product launch, Public domain, Publisher, Quarantine, Query, Reciprocal Link, Redirect, Reprint Rights, Resale Rights, Resource box, Right click, RSS, RSS Feeds, Sales Copy, Sales Letter, Script, Search Engines, SEM, SEO, Server, Shared hosting, Signature file, Site/Website, Site builder, Solo Email, Spam, Spam blockers, Spider, Splog, Spyware, Squeeze page, Social bookmarking, Social networking, Software, Source code, SSL, Sub-domain name, Super Affiliate, Tags, Target Market, Telecommute, Teleseminar, Template, Thread, TLD (Top Level Domain), TOS, Traffic, Tracking, Troll, Trojan, Unique visitors (uniques), Upsell, URL, Username/ User ID, USP, Viral, Viral marketing, Virtual Real Estate, Virus, Vlog, WAHM, Web 2.0, Web Designer, Web marketer, Webinar, Webmaster, White Hat SEO, Whois, WIKI, WordPress, www, WYSIWYG, XML, Youtube, Yoyo mode, ZIP file

Action steps:

1) Go through the list of terms, and if there are any you aren’t familiar with, take the time to read the definition.

So now you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say FTP and PHP and PPC.

There’s a lot of so-called experts out there trying to tell you how to build your business. The question is, WHO should you listen to and who should you trust? I’ll be answering that question in the next lesson.

As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.

Have a great day!

    Just think about the time and effort gone into providing the material here. I preferred to write down the terms I was not familiar with in a notebook but some people will prefer to pay a small fee to download it. Just as some people are too open to scams you can be the other way too.

    Hi Eric,
    Thank-you. I’m experiencing definition overload! I thought I had a fairly decent vocabulary. Little did I know! I’m laughing at just how little I knew. Thank-you for providing such concise and easy-to-understand info. I thought I would breeze through lesson 10. Ha Ha God bless you Eric, your wonderful.

    Thanks for taking us through slowly but surely!

    Resale Rights gives you a license to resell the particular material that you licensed. It can be a great resource, because you can sell a product and keep all the profits, without having to create a product. However, it is generally best to use Resale Rights as a supplementary income stream. In other words, your own products would comprise a foundation for your business, and you use Resale Rights to add more income. They can also work great as bonuses.

    I’ve commented on SBI a few times. Generally speaking, I do not recommend it. I would rather get my hosting and everything seperately, and have full control over my website. I teach all of this throughout the lessons. Thanks

    Eric,

    You are right. Every industry has its own vocabulary. I think having the downloaded list will be handy. After all, I am also learning the vocabulary associated with Interior Design. It would not be cool to get them mixed up.

    I’ve had some long nights and was not fully awake to keep up with the video. I wish there was a better means of backing the video up to listen to parts missed during the initial playout. I worked around it and heard some parts many times while getting to the part I zoned out on. I have to find a better way to focus my time and energy.

    Thanks for your informative lessons.

    Hi Eric,
    Thanks for another great report. This is good for everyone, but newbies will definately appreciate it. I know when I first started I was going in circles trying to find out what I was searching for. Thanks for being a good God fearing family guy too. It just makes me feel more comfortable and relaxed to be learning from you. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

    At this time I’m not offering any individual coaching, but if you stick around, this is something I may be offering at some point in the future. Or else I do have a limited amount of consulting time available, but it may be pricey for newbies: http://www.ericholmlund.com/consulting

    Thank you again Eric. I knew most of the terms and definitions but some I was not quite familiar with. Thank you so much for being a ‘God fearing’ family man. You and yours will truly be blessed. I will pray for you and all that come here daily.

    Really good info here, even though I knew quite a lot, there is some I thought I knew the meaning to….but was wrong!

    I also use xsitepro which is great to learn with, it does have a few areas for potential improvement. It only allows for template upload if the template was also done with xsitepro. If done with another program like dreamweaver, it won’t accept them 🙁

    Hi Eric.
    I’m sure you’ll cover this in one of the later lessons but what are the benefits of XSitePro over Word Press?

    Reply
  38. Eric Post author

    I talk about XSitePro in lesson #31 and WordPress in #33. They each have their advantages.

    XSitePro is good for non-blog sites, and especially for people who don’t want to write their own HTML code. So if it’s a sales letter, XSite is a good choice. If it’s a blog, WordPress is probably better.

    Dear Eric
    AS THEY SAY IN AMERICA, I THINK YOU GOOFED!…
    Growing up as a mainstream advertising copywriter in major central London ad agencies, and now operating as an independent advertising and marketing consultant, I remain keen to learn more about online marketing and the internet in general.My core skills lie in “traditional” broadcast media (TV/radio) and press, posters and direct mail. So I was attracted to your tips – and not least, impressed by your apparent integrity. On one of your early lessons, you say loud and clear “DON’T BUY STUFF” – firstly, because there’s a lot of scams out there, making money only for those who sell them, and also because you did not advise buying anything beyond the real essentials before we have been through all of your lessons. So imagine my disappointment when only yesterday – still at the very early stages of your lessons – I received an overt sales message from you to buy into an ongoing business (something to do with the stock market). Whether the product offering is any good or not is neither here nor there – the point being, I feel it does rather dampen my enthusiam to continue the lessons. Basically, I am a businessman, and am fully aware that you are not doing this out of the goodness of your heart, but I do believe that offering something for sale at this very early stage of my “education” is strategically, if not morally, wrong, having made the point clearly about NOT buying stuff.
    Love to know what you think.
