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!
Dear Eric,I thankyou for your qaulity straight forword honest assistance to all of us Newbies.
You must be the only person who nows all about what you speak about and yet you still do not call yourself to be a Guru.Personally I think that you are the only ONE.I was lucky to save the first lesson then the rest after I had decided that you spoke the truth.I have been conned by some,so I have waited and saved your lessons untill they come to a close finish, so that I may then put them into practise in a m anaged manner.Hopefully I will then make some money rather than pay it out via internet.
Being a late starter I hope to send you good news regards your teaching.My apologises for not sending my thanks to you earlier.I was a Sceptic & will not change untill the internet pays me for a change.At present I have a website with OHN.Do you know about this group?
What chances have I there? Kind Regards,
Ronald G. Sellars.
Thanks 🙂
No I am not familiar with OHN.
Thanks for the input.
The timing of the offer had nothing to do with you being early in the stage of your education. It was a product that I had planned on launching for a long time.
As I’ve said many times… remember my caveat: Don’t buy stuff UNLESS you know what you’re going to do with it.
I buy PLR opportunities all the time, because I know how to use them.
Likewise, I recommend that others following my business model do the same.
But if you’re a newbie and you’re either not comfortable with the opportunity or you just don’t yet know how you’re going to use it… by all all means… don’t buy it.
I have no way of knowing exactly where every one of my subscribers is at in their business building process. When I advertise a product, I advertise it to everyone across the board. It is up to you to make a good decision for your business, and in some of the early lessons I have done my best to help give some guidelines regarding that decision making process.
Also I never said I wasn’t going to try to sell you anything. I provide a lot of free information, but I also make money by selling information.
As a teacher of information marketing, it only makes sense for me to practice what I preach 🙂
Hi Eric,
I bought your ebook with the internet marketing terminology…great usefull ebook with lots of things I didn’t know about.
Blessings,
Max
Eric, I did ask you to update me on the current scams if you dont mind to help me be an informed consumer? I searched you out on the internet and discovered your Push Button Marketing to automate the business I may start soon. Now, with all the shortcuts talked about therein, do I still have to know the 247 words which seems to be a difficult langueage? Also I have been off the screen for a week and now I know why the 8th Lesson recommended a lap top. Thanks Eric for your lessons the 10th of which I hqave just completed
Richard Patrick
I am not able to stay up to date on all the latest scams, but I did cover some principles for avoiding scams here:
As far as needing to know the vocabulary… it’s not necessary that you memorize all of them, but the more familiar you can become with those terms the more comfortable you will be as you move forward and learn more about internet marketing.
Eric,
Thanks for the amazing info. I am what you would consider a newbie in online business cuz I never made a dime! But I know alot of things. The question is. Can you accelerate these lessons or have them available so that someone can go on their own pace? If I get one lesson a day I’ll be online around Christmas time.. j/k.. lol
Thanks for a total education on getting online and making money..
Ari
They will soon be available as a package. In the mean time you can view them here:

Just do not skip any lessons 😉
Hi,
Lot of words. As a Finnish guy, it´s sometimes hard to keep up when someone speaks too fast…
Kari
Great resource for beginners. Thanks Eric.
The Ghost Site was a new phrase for me! Learn something every day!
Hi Eric,
here’s my Vision for internet-activities
sell my ideas and visions concerning politics and mankind
and by earning as much money as possible in the process,
at least enough to more comfortly realize my travel desires (to live a good life I now have enough without additional work)
create a new political german party (die Real Partei)
that presents a real alternative to vote for
as compared with the established, debt-addicted, unable “polit-mafia”-parties
create:
– an idea-site with background ideas
– a “party-site”: to bring forward and build that party
– a personal development site implementing my love and interesting experiences in this area as well as my ideas about what can be known and what explanations are illusions… including my ideas about religions.
Write my first book (of the presently 2.5 I have in mind) and promote and sell it, probably mainly via amazon (?)
You make a very good impression upon me
thanks for these infos!
Good and Thank you!
Darn! I couldn’t hear your kid crying! :^(
A great response to an awkward question!
Hi, and thank you.
When you resell ebooks, do you set your own prices?
Yes you set your own prices.
Thanks Eric for all your tips. It has helped me so much.
Really Useful list of terms!
Great stuff!!!
Would have been nice to have the terms in a doc for download as a future point of reference 🙂
ERIC THE LESSONS ARE GREAT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US BORN DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION. WE ALL NEED A LITTLE ADDED INCOME. AT THIS MOMENT HOWEVER MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE LINK TO AD SENSE GURU JOEL COMM IN LESSON #10 IS BROKEN. I WILL GO ON BUT WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK TO IT WHEN IT WORKS.
THANK YOU ART
MARTIN:
IN ERIC’S DEFENSE.
AS YOU POINT OUT YOU WERE TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS ” DON’T BUY STUFF” YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH! THE QUESTION IS DID YOU BUY IT??? AND IF SO DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT???
MARTIN:
I BOUGHT SOMETHING ERIC WAS PROMOTING ALSO AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT EITHER BUT I KNOW WHERE TO FIND OUT(AND SO DO YOU) WHAT TO DO WITH IT!
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES.
THANKS ART
So if were going to start a info business I would also like to know if the two hundred that i spend on your business that is setting on my computer not making any thing for now it wont get out dated will it? Till we get through the lessons I did notice that Richard Legg was selling his 10 shares right away. But that’s because he all ready has a customer list witch we new people don’t even have a website. I guess Im hoping that your software well still make me money. Even if take 6 month to go through the lessons. Or is that the wrong investment to make,should i have gotten the other produce you guy’s have? Robert Weber
Hi Eric, I never thought there would be a lanugage to internet marketing! I am enjoying it very much. Keep it going! — JAD
I think most of the software I’ve sold will continue to be relevant for quite awhile. I can’t make any guarantees that anything won’t get outdated. But in these lessons I am trying my best to focus on principles and strategies that will last a long time. It’s always a risk, and it’s part of the nature of doing business on this Internet, so it’s simply a risk that you have to accept. But you can try to avoid becoming outdated by focusing on “evergreen” niches, and sticking to the tried and true principles of marketing (like list-building) rather than flash-in-the-pan tactics.

Thank you Eric for putting all this information at our fingertips. Wow, is it ever helpful. Amazing how important it is to know the language, and how overwhelming it is when one is just starting an online business and doesn’t understand what the support people are even saying when one asks for help. Now I can look it up. Thanks again.
I agree. I made that mistake. I bought a few things at first. I all of a sudden was e-mailed with all these opportunities and so I purchased. After realizing that there were many different ways to make money on line I canceled what I knew I wouldn’t enjoy and stuck with what rang true to me. Now sticking with one plan for at least a year. I really respect your knowledge, philosophy, honesty and integrity. Thank you for the example.
You’ve said that the cache is high speed memory, and that accessing the hard drive is much faster than accessing a server; so essentially the cache “increases the time it takes to view frequently visited pages.”
…er…reduces it, no?
Hi Eric, I know many of the terms you mentioned, but I will look over the other definitions for a better understanding of them. I am surprised that the term “mp3”, and “WAV” were not in the lineup, they refer to the way audio is recorded in the digital realm. I look forward to the next lesson!!…Friends, Lloyd.
Eric,
I tried SBI a few months ago. You have to write or create 30 pages, yes THIRTY pages of original content, BEFORE you are able to monetize ANY of the pages in your website. You are not told this BEFORE signing up and paying for SBI. Now you know. I learned it the hard way.

Many thanks for the assemblage of words
mostly required for use in Internet Marketing.
It will be of immense help to the Newbies working online.
Eric,
What’s the best way to learn XSite Pro2? Tutorials, books, videos? It is loaded and packed with so many features I don’t know what to do first!
Hi Deborah, I do recommend XSitePro as I think it’s one of the easiest web authoring programs for people who don’t know HTML. But there are a lot of features, which can make it a bit tricky at first.
However, you do not need to buy any upsells to use it. You just might need to take some more time to study and learn how to use it. There are comprehensive user manuals included with the software that you purchased. You can also find an online version here.
You may also find this demo video to be helpful. Additionally, many 3rd party affiliates and teachers have created various XSitePro tutorials that you can find on Youtube or if you search on Google.
Also be sure to check out the “technical” forum on XSitePro’s messageboard.
Lastly, XSitePro does offer this in their guarantee:
Eric,
In this lesson on the definition for Cache, go to the 2nd paragraph “the cache increases…” I believe you meant “DECREASES”.
Also, I am using firefox and the link to download the free book on “social bookmarking for free traffic” did nothing.
Your one a day Lesson & Action format is simply Wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks for the heads up Stuart.
Hello Eric. This is a little note of thanks for all of the effort and time that you have put into these lessons. I have found that no matter what I do, I will never make everyone happy, so i don’t even try to anymore.lol.I have read some of the comments and see some grumbling. lol. You have helped me greatly and for that I am truly grateful and thankful. You have one very happy customer and student here. Thanks again. I did make a purchase from your fire sale and have no idea what to do with it yet, but no matter, I have so much value from these lessons that I am happy to have been able to have an energy exchange in some way with you. Many blessings to you and your family.:-)My purpose for learning this info is so that I may be able to share my guides on emotional wellbeing and building self esteem. Thank you for helping me understand the way to help me share this information.
P.S. I have found the ning network for sites. It can be a little complicated to get the basics in the begining, but there is a lot of support on ning forums for any questions. They are easy for newbies to edit and reasonably priced. I hope this may help someone. 🙂 Thanks warm fuzzies to all us newbies.
Hi Eric,
Again a very nicely put together lesson plan. I am enjoying your lessons and the planning that has gone into them. It is great to see a young man put the enthusiasm and feelings you put into your lessons and putting so much of you out front and asking nothing in return. I am sorry to say this but it saddens me to have a person working so hard to accomplish good for a group of people and then to have a windbag out there trying to impress all with the spouting of their background and then coming up with the half assed slap at a man who is providing a fine service to his fellow man and having to listen to a groundless complaint. I have to applaud you on the fine way you explained the thought and background behind your lesson. I will say I also was one that purchased the offering, I have it, it is something that I feel will do me a very fine piece of business when I get it operational. I am only sorry I did not move on the second portion of the sale.So sad my bad. Please keep up the great work and please put that type of person out of your mind. He apparently does not know a good thing if it came up and bit him on the rear end.
Again my sincere thanks
Bob
Hi Eric,
The lessons are very good. They are well planned. Your communication skills are great. You are doing a good work.
Many thanks,
Prue
Thanks Eric for the “wouwww” list!
In my specific community, we call them “Internet Marketing Terminologies”. Maybe I’m lucky for today’s session, a half or maybe more of those words I’ve ever heard or at least ever seen them before. Hope I can continue my lesson as fluent as I wish.
Thanks Eric,
This lesson is very useful, especially for me who is not an English native speaker.
Thanks alot Eric. I am sure you have made this world a much better place for many, truly God Bless!
Thanks Eric! I am a newbie and speed to get going on my biz was slowed down by now knowing these terms more often then I care to think about. You are helping me roll!
I think i need the explaination Eric! If I have enough money will make paypal to buy your dictionary. thanks for your kindness to share your experiences… God bless you.

Thanks Eric. This will be very helpful.

I want to implement some of my own ideas in my industry that will make belivers outa the “old school” approach in the way brick and mortar advertizing is done.
