Where do you go in your computer to find your ftp?

FTP is used by servers, not personal computers. You can have a FTP on your personal computer, but you will need software and programs to do this. If you don't have the right programs then you don't have a FTP. There are some links on how to set up a FTP below. If your new to this you might want to use Windows XP to set up a server, and if your serious then use Windows Server 2003 or 2008. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1491 | http://lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

What does K mean in computer slang?

K stands for Kilobyte, a unit for measurement of data capacity. So for example a computer that has 256K (kilobytes) of memory can store around 256,000 bytes (or characters) in the memory.

A simpler example is to think of an iPod. The capacity is measured in gigabytes, because they are larger than kilobytes. If iPod capacity was measured in kilobytes, you wouldn't have simple numbers like 8/16/24GB, they would be huge (An 8GB iPod would be called a 8388608K). So basically, kilobytes are a measurement of data space, just like gigabytes.

1GB (Gigabyte) = 1048576K (Kilobytes)

What is domain parking monetization?

Domain monetization means using domain names to generate income through the sale of pay per click (PPC ) advertising or selling the Internet traffic that they may attract. Renting a domain also can "monetize" it. Domain monetization is used by both domaineers and domainers but with a different purpose by the two groups. Domaineering is about advertising as an end in itself, while domaining is about speculation with the income earned from advertising or traffic as kind of a secondary bonus until the domain hopefully is sold for a capital gain, although there may be some degree of overlap. As an analogy, think of domaineering as "Madison Avenue" while domaining is "Wall Street". Domaineering is the web-based marketing business of acquiring and monetizing Internet domain names for their use primarily as an advertising medium rather than speculating on domains as intellectual property investments for resale as in domaining. In essence, the domain names function as virtual Internet billboards with generic domain names being highly valued for their revenue generating potential derived from attracting Internet traffic hits. As with traditional advertising, domaineering is part art and part science. Often to be the most effective as advertising tools, the domain names and their corresponding landing pages must be engineered or optimized to produce maximum revenue which may require considerable skill and good knowledge of search engine optimization ( SEO ) practices, marketing psychology and an understanding of the target market audience. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the sponsored "feed" of a word or phrase searched for thus creating a mini-directory populated largely by advertisers paying to promote their products and services under a relevant generic keyword domain. Occasionally content is added to develop a functional mini-website. Domaineers and some of those who advertise online using keywords believe domaineering provides a useful, legal and legitimate Internet marketing service while opponents of domaineering decry the practice as increasing the ubiquitous commercialization of the world wide web. Domaineering is practiced by both large companies who may have registered hundreds or even thousands of domains to individual entrepreneurial minded domaineers who may only own one or a few domains.
