Example, cd-r mean you can only record once on this disc and a cd+r mean you can record more than once? The same with Dvd-rw, what do the minus and the plus signs mean?

nope, you can only write once on both -R and +R CD's/DVD's.
They are just different standards I think, for example -R's might work better on a specific drive, it's all up to taste really and what works for you and you're CD/DVD burner/reader.
-RW on the other hand is different. Means you can write more than once.

There is no such thing as CD+R or CD+RW. There are a number of different DVD formats, including DVD+R and DVD+RW, but so far CDs only have -R and -RW. CD formats with a '+' in them (except for CD+G, which only defines the subcode channels of an audio CD) are usually typographical errors.

+ and - are different types. RWs are those you can write and rewrite (repeatedly) Rs are write once only. This is true for both CD and DVD blanks

CD - R means you can only record the CD once, but with option like 'make multisession disk' on nero, you can ADD other files onto disk on next burning if theres enough space.
I never heard CD R+, maybe it only a name or sumthin...

r means writable and rw means rewritable(or you can write the disk erase it then write it on it again)the only way to add to a rewritable disk with out removing the info that was already on it is to create partitions on it..hope this helps...
