Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Impression
the number of times an entire Web page is viewed. Impressions are counted to determine the number of visits to the site. Some Webmasters are interested in more information than simply the number of viewings. Because they are measuring the effectiveness of certain types of advertising, the path a user takes to arrive at a Web page is important, such as arriving as a result of clicking a banner ad, or finding his way from a particular search engine.
