Earlier this week, I did my Blue Corona copywriter duty and posted a blog post on SEO acronyms—listing out around 20 acronyms from the SEO industry and explaining what each meant. Well, all work and no play makes our team just some warmed, stale Coronas. JK! (That means just kidding). We all love our jobs and have fun every day we come into the office. But we still like to have some room for fun activities. Cue: this blog post.
This week’s casual Friday blog post is a play on the top 10 popular acronyms within our industry—I’m calling them acronymsnots because I’m just that clever and punny.
CAPTCHA
Could Anyone Possibly Think of a more Complicated, Horrible Acronym?
Example:
Chase: Hannah, this website needs a security measure for the contact form, I’m going to add a CAPTCHA.
Hannah: Um, CAPTCHA, much?
CMS
Check My Site
Example:
George: Hey Chase, I’ve coded that new client’s website. Can you CMS before it goes live?
CTR
Call Tracking is Reliable
Example:
Will: Hey, Erin, why do so many clients love our call tracking services at Blue Corona?
Erin: Well, CTR and it can show what the cost-per-lead is for each marketing effort.
HTML
Hannah Tries to Make me Laugh
Example:
“Why am I still reading this blog post? Oh yeah, HTML.”
LSEO
Lexie Sure Enjoys Optimizing
Example:
Ben: Dang, Lexie has been working extra hard this month.
Katelyn: Well, remember Ben, LSEO is something you keep talking about.
NAP
Nick and Potosky
Example:
Who are Blue Corona’s most veteran copywriters?
Answer: NAP.
PPC
People Pretend to Click
Example:
“I don’t want any new leads and don’t want to save any more money. I hope PPC is a great method for my paid ads on Google.”
ROI
Resting on Ignorance
Example:
“The fact that you don’t track your visit to lead conversion rate is really just ROI and running your business into the ground.”
SEO
Silence Everyone’s Opinion
Example:
“I’m going to over-optimize my client’s website with keyword stuffing in attempt to SEO, including our ranked competitors. I’m sure this black hat tactic will work.”
SERP
Search Everything Really Poorly
Example:
“Some people SERP when they are looking for blog posts on fake acronyms.”
URL
How Tyler thinks the name is Earl is spelled
Example:
Tyler: Hey Ryan, a client called for you. His name is URL.
UX
Um, Xcuse me?
Example:
UX, Hannah, is this blog post over yet?
Yes!
