Terms to Learn

API : This means application programming interface. This is the computer owned by Google that has multiple tiers of use depending on membership. This is where user IDs and passwords are stored and where all your data, as a YouTube channel owner, is stored.

Think of the word ‘interface’ as ‘translator’. When you press the button on your mobile phone to send a message, an translator goes to work to make a connection with the service you are using to send that message.

Google API and OAuth: This is the large data base of data Google collects that is private for each YouTube channel owner.

BI: BI means business intelligence. It is a service we pay for that allows us to view our data with any major platform. It allows us to ask and answer questions that are not available by the standard YouTube dashboard.

Partner: we have 3 levels of partners. Click here to review them.

Partner does not mean a person who we will train in Google analytics. Our philosophy is simple. You keep doing what you do best–grow your channel.

SEO: search engine optimization. This is the term used to describe the servers (computers) that work in the back-end to find what customers are looking for when they enter a query in the search window.

SaaS: This means software as a service. Its another way to say: cloud computing.
