I'm a newbie in every sense of the word. Could someone please help me with some of the abbreviated lingo that I read on hear? A list of most common abbreviations would be great. Fro example: PR = __, SERP = ___, and so on.

Thanks,
Kristin

start here, particularly the links at the bottom
http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2156001

also search on "seo glossary" --I didn't want to pick any particular one and promote it here, most were OK. Doorways and linkbait, true, but OK.

Since the two you mentioned aren't listed in Danny's gloassary, I'll tell you what they mean.

PR means PageRank. It isn't easily explained in a few sentences, but you can read what it is here (http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html)

SERP means Search Engine Results Page
SERPS means Search Engine Results Pages

Thanks PhilC

Sempo's also got a nice glossary here:

I know there are more out there. Everyone want to list your favorites? Then we can get them added to the FAQ. Here are two others listed from the SEMPO glossary (the WMW one they listed appears dead now):
