Now, if you're new at all this internet marketing, creating blogs etc. like me, you might have found a world of strange "words" making everything sound like latin. I have collected some of those "words", which are actually acronyms, and will post them here to help myself and you all find out what they mean.

Hopefully I can save some of you the headache of feeling lost and confused.

SEO = Search Enginge Optimization

PPC = Pay Per Click

PTC = Pay To Click
