Hello Friends Confused about the terminology on the web,here's a few more explinations of some of the common terms used! Part 2. *Hit Each instance in which a server sends a file to a browser.Hits are used to measure traffic to your site. *Valid Hits Number of hits that deliver all the information to a user not including error messages and redirects. *Pop-up An Advertisement that appears in a window while you are veiwing a website. *Link An electronic connection between two or more websites! *Opt-in email List of Internet users who have VOLINTARILY signed up to receive commercial mail about topics of interest *Double Opt-in List of Internet usres who have signed up and confirmed their address. (please correct me if I'm wrong here) *Domain Name The unique name of an Internet site!

Hi Leanne,

This is helpful.  Sure wish I had seen this a year ago.

url and html were hard for me to learn. I do not know the difference and what the letters stand for. 

I think double opt means that a person signs up for a program, the sign up is acknowledged, and then the person signing up has to go into the program and confirm that they are taking the program.

Thus it is double-sign up and then confirm.

Hi Mary, So glad you visited here's a definition for you URL - abbreviation uniform (or universal) resource locator, the address of a World Wide Web page. HTML - noun Computing Hypertext Mark-up Language. Just to add confusion XHTML is the next version of HTML. Thanks for taking the time to post Mary!
