Not so much an acronym, but more of an abbreviation, but it's the number one most used term in the appraisals section:

REGFEE

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')

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.
