Acronyms

dr.pepper · Feb 14, 2012

Being new to the SEO world obviously is a very steep learning curve.
Reading posts on BHW annoys me when i dont know the Acronyms that everybody is using lol. Google turns up nothing as it just thinks im looking for stock markets or some random acronym

Does anyone have a list or would care to compile a list of acronyms which could be stickied for newbies like myself?

The one I get stuck on is "EMD". I know it has something to do with domain names but not sure what!!

I think he might be talking about acronyms for tools used by members here as in:

TBS - The Best Spinner
SB - Scrapebox
VPS - Virtual Private Server
SC- Spinner Chief
TT - Traffic Travis
XR - Xrummer

EMD = Exact Match Domain

It is where your domain is the exactly same as your keyword. For example if your keyword is acai berry informations your domain would be acaiberryinformations.com

To be fair you could of just quickly googled "seo emd acronym" and you get the answer pretty quickly. Theres even another post on BHW from back in Dec which appears in the top 5 results for that about SEO acronyms you may find handy...
