Some definitions and clarifications from Richard...
link: "Link" and "hyperlink" actually both refer to the same thing.
A link is a reference on a web page that references some other place on the same page or somewhere else on the Internet. If text is "clickable" that means it is a hyperlink.
You can identify a hyperlink in a number of ways but the easiest way is to move your mouse pointer over the top of a picture or word and if your mouse cursor change to look like a small hand then the item you are looking at, is a link and you can click it.
click: n the World Wide Web advertising industry, selection of a banner ad by a user. The effectiveness of Web advertisements are measured by their click-through rate - how often people who see the ad click on it.
hit: Any time a piece of data matches criteria you set. For example, each of the matches from a Yahoo or any other search enginesearch is called a hit.

Suzi, Thank you for the definitions. There should be an Idiot's Guide for computer terminology. Is there such an animal? Jane
