Do You Use These Words?
Niche - recess: a small concavity

Guru - Meditation master who has attained oneness with God and who initiates others into the spiritual path and guides them to liberation.

PLR/Private Label Rights - * PLR - codice aeroportuale IATA dell’aeroporto civile di Pell City St. Clair (Stati Uniti)
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLR (Umm, some language I don’t understand, probably an abbreviate for something I don’t care to know about)
Private Label Rights - No definitions were found for private label right.
MRR - is the rate at which a given number of impressions over the period of a month are sold at.

Master Resell Rights - No definitions were found for master resell rights.
Have you figured it out yet? Most of these terms don’t even really exist! They only mean something to a herd of (internet marketing) folks who don’t know a darn thing about marketing and business. I was there once. I thought the big online “guru’s” who used these terms somehow knew more than me. The truth is, most coin these terms so they can appear smarter than the rest. And you know what? People buy into it. It’s a sad reality, but I can’t stop it, but I can educate you about it. Maybe it can help some of you take a look at things from the other side.
I really hope “internet marketers” don’t think of the big names as meditation masters. That’s pretty outrageous if you think about it.

Hi Aaron,
Hehehe - loved this post! You know, I never really thought about looking up the words you’ve mentioned. Years of being abused and being “told” what they mean I always assumed that “they” were correct.
I certainly can not consider any of the self-proclaimed gurus out there, gurus any longer. Hmmm…what should I call them now?
And on the discussion of product ownership - either you own the product, or you don’t. I’ve seen many people sell master resell rights but with “strings” attached — so what have you done? Have you “bought” the product outright? Nope, you’ve only purchased a license to resell the product — but with gazillions of people who have also bought the same product what have you gained? Probably nothing.
Besides - why would you want to give something away that is generating money for you, unless you wish to sell it outright?
Regards,
Mohamed

It’s not my first, second, or third language (nor my 90th!), but I *think* that:
“PLR - codice aeroportuale IATA dell’aeroporto civile di Pell City St. Clair (Stati Uniti)”
Stands for something close to:
“PLR - The IATA airport code for the the Pell Civil Airport in the city of St. Clair (United States)”
According to this page, it’s in Alabama:

So your blog is still “G” rated; I guess that “G” doesn’t stand for “Guru” though, does it?
Best regards,
Tom
P.S. — I think it’s Italian.

Yes, my blog is still “G” rated. I think you can be a “G” without being a guru.
