Online Poker Selection Rules of Thumb?

I'm a little new to online play...on Ultimate Bet it's just Flop=xx%, stating what percentage of persons see the flop. Is that the same as VPIP? I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what VPIP stands for.

VPIP = voluntarily put $ in pot. This is (roughly) percentage of flops seen less percentage of flops seen for free in the big blind. I say roughly because of hands which you bet but do not see a flop for some reason (like every else folds).

ah!!! that seems to be a much more accurate number than just the % seeing the flop.

thanks!
