This is gold! I legit didn't know 60% of these. Lots to learn haha
 
The best!!! All forums should start with this... took me forever to figure out what Hmu on reddit meant (hit me up)
 
Great overview! Definitely had to add this page to BHW-bookmarks - Not easy to remember these right off the bat, but I will get there
 
wow, still very relavant, but maybe its time to update this list?
 
Omg!! I finally found it! I was embarrassed to ask the users of the forum what those short words meant hahaha, I didn't want to be the fool of BHW, now I find out that they are called acronysm, well at last I will be able to understand what they mean , bookmarked.
To the OP thanks for sharing ;)
 
Very illuminating, I was wondering what CPA meant! Added this to my "BHW -> Newbie & TOS" bookmarks folder. Much appreciated!
 
Great list! It’s so helpful to have all these acronyms in one place, especially for anyone new to the community. The internet marketing world can definitely be confusing with all the jargon flying around. I remember feeling lost at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. Thanks for putting this together—super useful for anyone trying to get up to speed!

As with any community, there are some acronyms and lingo that get used a lot around here, and when you’re new, it might as well be a different language. So, here are the most common ones, explained. If you’ve used forums before, or are an old hand in the IM industry, some of these will be familiar. But for those who are entirely new, it’s handy to know what they all mean.

Edit 29 April 2019: You guys have come up with some great suggestions to add to the list, so I've updated this post accordingly. Thanks to @Takurah, @shafi432, @Davidnike, @Bruno Adas, @AUSTINS.CLUB, @BrainAkeju, and @reuse for your contributions.

These Acronyms are easy to remember if you used it everyday. I like the list

Maybe we add AEO too? Answer engine optimization. I think this is more relevant nowadays.
