Right, what? Ha, yeah I know! Basically I decided over the years I’ve had to adapt to so many different words which have now been lodged in my brain. In marketing and especially SEO, plus from running a business, I’ve learnt so many different acronyms for all that jargon you may not understand as a noob. I thought, well a large portion of my readers are quite new to this ole’ game so I’ll help them out, and give them something to refer to if they need it. Yep, that’s you guys I’m talking about!
To the point, without further ado; a large list of all the acronyms I could think of…
