- P2P
- Abbreviation for "Person to Person".
- Page View
- A measure of the number of times a page was loaded.
- Partner Programs
- A type of sponsorship program to
use on your site. Partnership programs usually pay you a percentage
of sign-up and continue to pay you recurring charges for sending members to their site. Others just pay you a set rate per sign-up.
- PERL
- Abbreviation for "Practical Extraction and
Report Language" Perl is a programming language developed by Larry Wall,
especially designed for processing text. Because of its strong text processing abilities, Perl has become one of the
most popular languages for writing CGI scripts. Perl is an interpretive language, which makes it easy to build and
test simple programs.
- PFI
- Abbreviation for "Pay For
Inclusion", meaning that the site
charges to have you linked from their site.
- PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
- An open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting
language used to create dynamic Web pages. In an HTML document PHP script is
enclosed within special PHP tags. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP
(similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because
PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code. PHP can perform any task that any
CGI program
can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases.
PHP was created in 1994 by Rasmus
Lerdorf. During mid 1997, PHP
development entered the hands of other contributors. Two of them, Zeev Suraski and Andi
Gutmans, rewrote the parser
from scratch to create PHP version 3 (PHP3).
- Pop Under
- A window that automatically loads underneath the page that is
currently being viewed so that it is only viewable when
the current page is closed.
-
- PopUp
- A window that automatically loads for viewing without being selected
by the user.
- PR
- Abbreviation for Google's "Page Rank".
All websites visited by Google's spider are assigned a number from 0
to 10 depending on many factors including keyword frequency, how many
other users have visited the site, etc. The higher the rank the better position
the website
or page will have in their query results.
