I added both but when do you type AFK into a forum? I use it all the time in chat but not in a forum. |
Nice list, should help people that don't know what the certain acronyms mean. ;) |
Not so much an acronym, but more of an abbreviation, but it's the number one most used term in the appraisals section: REGFEE :) :) :) |
now should i put that as regular fee or registration fee? I was never quite sure. |
Registration fee for sure. |

OTOH = on the other hand HTH = Hope that helps AAMOF = as a matter of fact (not sure ) |
DND - do not disturb |
OVT is commonly abbreviated. It is referring to the Keyword Selector tool at Overture http://inventory.overture.com/d/sea...ory/suggestion/ OVT = Overture, or the number of searches made for a term or domain in a month. OVT w/ EXT = Overture with Extension: the number of searches made for the full domain name including extension. For instance, example.com has a OVT w/ EXT of 7163. OVT w/o EXT = Overture without Extension: the Overture number for the term contained within the domain, but without the extension. For instance, example.com OVT w/o EXT is 62344 (just check resutls for 'example') |
LMK, let me know |
PTS = The Private-To-Staff forum on NamePros where you can post a private thread to the NamePros staff. IE: Mark requested that I post details of the transaction in PTS. Staff uses this acronym a lot. |
All of the information was updated. :) |
