Bow damage vs. projectile damage?

Can someone please explain the differences?
Bows is rather self explained.

Projectile passives increase all damage dealt with a bow or a wand, including elemental damage. They also boost damage done with projectile spells, like Fireball or Spark.
i found a quiver that adds 16% projectile damage but when i equip it vs one that doesnt i see no change in damage this could be due to my low damage rating but i just wanted to make sure that was the only reason and that i am not wasting passive points in projectile upgrades for bow damage

Check the DPS's on your projectile abilities, not your base attack damage.

Pretty sure projectile damage applies to abilities only, while bow damage applies to both basic attack and projectile abilities.

ok that would make more sense that it boost skill dmg and bow damage does both i was worried i would have to remake my character too far in to re-spec the projectile points i used thx for clearing that up
