The term Manual Submission describes the fact that a Webmaster or Internet Marketer will submit a Web page, or website, to the search engines by hand, rather than through an automated process.

A Meta Tag Generator is a simple program that is part of the Webmasters tool kit that will output a set of META tags based on Web page content.

META tags are used to help categorise the content of a particular Web page. They help to ensure the search results are more refined and relevant to the users search.

This, as the name suggests, is the smallest amount that an advertiser can bid to be shown on a keyword. The amount is set by the search engine, and can vary enormously, depending on the keyword or phrase selected.

MX records or ‘mail exchange’ records

MX records specify which mail servers are responsible for a particular domain. This entry is not mandatory, and as with the A record several entries may be made. One special feature is $priority numbers, which provide information to the querying mail server about which mail server should be used first. The next entry is tried only when the mail server with the highest priority is not available. The priority of $priority numbers rises in opposition to the value of the number, meaning that lower numbers have a higher priority.

Another special feature is that only domains may be entered for mail servers. An entry referencing an IP results in an error.
