Pretty spot on, except for "WSO". That refers to the Warrior Special Offers from WarriorForums.com

Thanks for the list, I'm going to alphabetize it and clean it up a bit and sticky it in the Lounge.

I also added GT and PP to the list.

Heh, I can't remember how long I went not knowing what AFF was...

BST - Buy Sell Trade

That one got me for a while.....I needed this when I first started

Thank you for the corrections, additions and clean-up!

wow! great contribution from a relativly new member.

We need more people like you!

This Should stop some dumb questions =]

EPN used to dumbfound me until someone clarified that it meant Ebay Partner Network.
Also, I don't see CS but I guess we don't talk about such activities in BHW!!

Hey, I think I knew all those, does that make me a pro? ;p

AC for Associat*ed Con*tent
CB for ClickBank

Maybe somebody may ask also this "noob"?

That would be Let Me Know - I'll add it in now.

I just thinking about this and luckily found it here.
Thank's bro !

The one that had me stumped was IBP (iBusinesPromoter). I kept hearing how folks found it better than xyz software, but nobody would use the full name so I searched it out w/the big G.

Thank you so much for this contribution.

I was really puzzled by many of these abbreviations.

Now it's all clear. Thanks!
