- 2X12
Denotes the structure of SFI's innovative T-Net compensation
plan. The 2x12 format means that only two affiliates can be on "level
one." Level two allows for four affiliates. Level three allows for
eight affiliates. Level four allows for 16 affiliates. This contnues
downward for 12 total levels.
- AUTO-RESPONDER
An email program that runs on a computer server connected full-time to
the Internet. It gives you an email address that automatically replies
to any incoming message by returning the text of a particular file of
your choosing. This information is delivered anywhere in the world, to
any Internet user with email, within seconds, 24 hours a day/7 days a
week.
- BANDWIDTH
The rate at which you can send or receive information through your
connection to the Internet.
- BLIND AD
An ad, either sent via email or posted on a classified ad site that is
enticing enough to get the recipient to request more information, but
gives NO company name, trademark, or URL that points to the company
you're advertising. Blind ads are just that: BLIND.
Blog
Short for Web Log, an online journal typically updated daily
and organized chronologically. Updating a blog is called "blogging,"
while the person keeping the blog is called the "blogger." Blogs are
run by special software that requires little or no technical background
on the part of the blogger.
- BPS
Bits per Second. Refers to the data-transfer speed allowed by the
network or your connection to the network.
- BROWSER
A software program that allows you to view the World Wide Web,
(provided you have an Internet connection), and view the contents of
Web sites. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer are the
two most widely used browsers. A comprehensive site for information on
browsers is located at http://www.browserwatch.com
- CACHE
See: Temporary Internet Files
- CLASSIFIED AD
Online Classified ads are similar to newspaper classifieds in most
ways. The biggest difference is that many Online Classifieds are free
to post an ad. Paid ads are inexpensive and tend to draw more valid
prospects. Classified ads may contain your company URL, your own URL,
and a mention of the company name, as they are a form of passive
advertising. This means that someone actually must come to your ad and
request more information from you.
- COOKIES
A "cookie" is a small piece of information which a web server can store
temporarily with a web browser and store in your hard disk. This is
useful for having the browser remember some specific information which
the web server can later retrieve.
- CYBERSPACE
The total range of information available through computer networks. A
term coined by author William Gibson.
Domain Name
A name that identifies one or more URLs or Websites. Domain
names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example,
in the URL http://www.ezinfocenter.com/578910/free,
the domain name is ezinfocenter.com. Every domain name has a suffix
that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are
only a limited number of such domains, including gov, edu, com, org,
net...etc.. Because the Internet is based on IP (Internet Protocol)
addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name
System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.
Double Opt-In
A term describing an affiliate registration process. Simply
put, double opt-in means that after someone signs up for an Affiliate
Program, that program will send him or her a verification e-mail. This
message contains a special link that the new signup must click to
verify his or her desire to become an affiliate. Until this person
verifies the registration, the new signup will not go into the
affiliate database or be considered an Affiliate.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line. A technology that provides
subscribers with dedicated, or "always-on," Internet access at speeds
up to 50 times faster than typical dial-up access. DSL allows for the
normal use of phone lines without affecting the ability to connect to
the Internet.
Downline
Refers to affiliates who are below you in the T-Net network.
Duplication
Refers to affiliates in your organization "duplicating" your
actions, such as sponsoring new affiliates, mentoring prospective
leaders, etc. If you can achieve a high degree of "duplication" in your
organization, you can "be in a hundred places at one time" and able to
grow your business rapidly through the efforts of others.
Dynamic Compression
Describes the process that allows affiliates in the network to
earn a percentage of sales based on the "differential" between their
individual ranks. Let's assume you are a Gold Team Leader. This
qualifies you to earn through up to 11 levels of the network. Now let's
assume you've sponsored a new affiliate who is currently at the
Executive Affiliate (EA) level (which qualifies them to earn through
levels 1 through 4 of the network). Your Dynamic Compression Bonus
would be the difference between the two ranks' pay ranges. In this
case, you would earn a 6% commission on every affiliate on levels 5-11
below
your sponsored EA. Note that you earn Dynamic Compression bonuses
regardless of level. No matter where your personally-sponsored
affiliates reside—on your first level on or your 100th level—you earn
the difference between your rank and theirs on the levels below them.

- FFA PAGE
FFA or "free for all" links page is a forum where people can post links
to their sites, using a site submitter that is provided by the host.
FFA pages can be used in several ways. One is to place a link to your
own web site on other people's FFA page, with a catchy phrase that will
make yours stand out from the rest of the links on the page. Another
way is to get your own free FFA page from one of the hundreds of places
on the Web offering them. Then, with most FFA pages, anyone who submits
a link to your page will get a confirmation of their post in the email
by auto-responder. The key here is that you get to completely customize
your "thank you" email. This means you can advertise your business
every time someone posts on your FFA page.

But no matter how safe a list is reputed to be, you should only send a
blind or teaser ad to the members.
- SEARCH
ENGINES
You've probably heard of Yahoo!, Excite, AltaVista, Lycos, WebCrawler,
Infoseek and other Internet search engines. There are literally dozens
of these tools to help you locate what you're looking for. The trick
though, is understanding how they work, so you can use the right tool
for the job. Directories, such as Yahoo!, are good at identifying
general information. They group web sites together under similar
categories, such as Internet tutorials, English universities and Paris
museums. The results of your search will be a list of web sites related
to the subject you are searching for. But let's say you want more
specific information, such as articles about home- based businesses.
Web indexes are the way to go, because they search all the contents of
a web sites. Indexes use software programs called spiders or robots
