We are compiling the SEO GLossary and all of your suggestions are GREAT! For your info its at www.seo-guy.com/seo-glossary/ feel free to suggest any terms you dont see, it will be constantly built

[SEO-VKI-Zoe]

I know this will come in very handy. Thanks for all the tips.

[Eric Bland]

Nice list, thanks. Good move on a glossory, they are useful.

[whatzyourpleasure]

I have just signed up with seo-guy and am curious whether this could increase traffic to my website www.whatzyourpleasure.com Any other suggestions I feel my site is excellent however I have terrible stats.

Yes... use your signature in User CP to set a link to your site, more efficient. I removed your link because your post was more a 'look at my site' post and this is not really the place. Go to the introductions, site review, general chat... but don't do these kinds of posts in serious threads.

[seanny]

Just 2 threads in and I'm already learning something new, cool!

(whisper) tho' I gotta admit that the Jocelyns' avatar is freaking me out

[wlh]

just wait... it gets worse

[Phoenix Real Estate Agent]

I would have to say they get better. Some of his avatars make me LMAO. How's that, I'm already using some of the acronyms!

Morgan, Cool glossary, thanks for showing us the link to it. 8-|

[sedgemonkey]

This topic has helped me so much... I never knew there were so many freaking search related acronyms.

[rizla]

[QUOTE=sedgemonkey]I never knew there were so many freaking search related acronyms.[/QUOTE]

Those acronyms are "wicked" - I'm using this page all the time... ;)

[sd006]

[QUOTE=seanny]I gotta admit that Jocelyns' avatar is freaking me out[/QUOTE]


yeah, me too. :eek:

[credible]

[QUOTE=sd006]yeah, me too. :eek:[/QUOTE]

You haven't seen anything freaky until you see the one where he put THAT face on my poor dog! :D

Don't worry, he changes avatars regularly!

[hezaa]

Thanks for the informative thread.

Acronyms always throw me off.. LOL!

[Bubba]

Jocelyn,

FYI and FYA, IMHO these acronyms are LOLF, but OTOH useful for SEO.
TA, TTYL.

Bubba

[jocelyn]

With these things, it's like using Winzip to zip a post... lol

[EternalStudent]

Can anyone tell me what SIDs are when referring to links? I came across it in a thread, but I've never heard of that before.

Thanks!

[Paz]

Hi,

SIDS are session ID's, usually associated with dynamic urls and cookies and tracking eg "/index.php?sid=123jsyt78ertf67yue".

SE's don't like them so they are best avoided if possible.

BTW, welcome to the forum!

Cheers,
Paz.

[EternalStudent]

Ahhh, got it. Thanks, Paz. That makes sense.

[kristi]

hey, the list you suggested really helps. Thanks!

[mason66]
