Metaspy - http://www.metaspy.com/
Metaspy is a search engine that shows you "real time" keyword searches. You'll see exactly what keywords Web surfers are requesting -- as they request them.
Check Your Link Popularity - http://www.linkpopularity.com/
This site shows you how many people are linking to your Web site.
Open Directory - http://www.dmoz.org
Yahoo!- http://www.yahoo.com/
Note: Use special care in submitting to the above two search directories. Make sure your Web page is exactly the way you want it. Once you are listed it is difficult to make changes.
It is important to know what people may be saying about you or your competition. If they are talking about you in the chat rooms, you want to know about it ... especially if they are saying things that are incorrect, or if your competitors are slamming you for any reason. You want to be able to get in there and set the record straight!
If other Web sites have linked to yours, it is valuable to know about it. It is also useful to find out who is linking to your competitor's Web sites so that you can get them to link to your site too! Here are some great resources:
Tracerlock
is a free service that monitors newsgroups and search engines.
They will send you an e-mail every time they find a "new" instance of the search
words you have registered. Do take note here: they will not find existing links
and information about you ... just the new stuff.

Baud - (bauds per second or bps.) Refers to the rate of speed information travels from computer to computer, and is related to the type of modem or other communication devices you have. The higher the number, the faster the speed. 2400-BPS modems aren't much good on the Internet because they are too slow. Common modems are 9600-BPS and 14,400-BPS along with 28,800-BPS You'll need at least a 14,400-BPS modem to use the Internet effectively.
Browser - Software that lets you visit the World Wide Web (WWW) and see the graphical sites; the most popular browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Chat - Online conversation conducted when two or more people type to each other. This is generally considered "real-time" because it is happening right now.

Protocol - The set of rules followed by two computers when they communicate with one another.
