A permalink (permanent link) is a type of URL (Uniform Resource Locator) set up for a specific item of information, often a news story or weblog item.
The SmallBiz Blog has a permalink for each blog entry for referencing that specific entry instead of the entire blog. If you find an item of particular interest to you while reading The SmallBiz Blog, you can click on the permalink and bookmark it.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, has a more detailed explanation on Permalinks.
