Internet Marketing for Dummies

This book is okay. It is outdated but well intentioned. If he updated it, it would be fine. If you are a rank beginner, you can still get some use out of it. Some of the other reviews are horrible, but I can't say they are totally justified. I'd very strongly recommend:

"Internet Marketing Secrets: Make a Bundle on the Internet" this is very good book and it will get you started on making REAL money!

The author goes into great detail on several methods to earn money using the internet as the main tool. The layout of the book is simple and easy to follow directions. I would recommended this book for those individuals who are trying to find the best route for passive income.

"Internet Marketing for Less than $500 a year" by Marcia Yudkin is a must read and a valuable reference tool for anyone trying to start or move a business online.  This book will teach you how to cut expenses while increasing sales using very low cost and common sense marketing tactics.  No more going into debt, or worse, using expensive traditional advertising techniques.  Learn proper online etiquette to build good rapport with potential clients, customers and business associates while avoiding Spam accusations.  A well written and easy read with many real life examples.  Highly recommended.

This book was an easy read and provides some basic, but often overlooked, tips to building an online business. The book, for the most part, follows in chronological order and breaks down the process of building a business online. That being said I have to say that this book is not for people who have knowledge in web design/ development or people who have experience in ecommerce. It's true that the book helps you focus your attention to the important areas of online business but it greatly simplifies the process and doesn't go deep enough to make you truly successful online. Any person who has spend (even a little) time online doing some research in their niche and following web marketing blogs and forums can easily come up with the same material that is covered in this book.

One major thing in the book that screamed out at me was the author's suggestion to building a site using tables for your layout. A quick google search or asking a seasoned web developer or search engine marketer will instantly tell you that developing a website using tables will hurt you - especially in the long run. Table-less design has been the standard for at least the last few years. I also discourage the use of MS Frontpage/ Expression of which the author highly recommends. This program is absolutely horrible and I would encourage people to only use dreamweaver or to learn how to hand code your webpages using simple html and css.

Overall, I'm glad I didn't spend much money on this book. It did serve to help me focus my 'action plan' a bit but other than that I can't say it helped me much. This book is truly only useful to people who are new to online business and website development. The book is simply too general and basic - making it sound like you can make a lot of money online in a very short period of time with 'just doing the minimum'.

Being someone who has made a great deal of money online, I can tell you that this book oversimplifies every step to making money online - hence my 3 star rating.

It does answer the basic questions. As I get the book on a free day I'll show my appreciation with a positive review.  For me, it wouldn't have been worth paying the $4.93 it is currently set at for 24 pages. There are no secrets not readily accessible on the internet here. It is however neatly packaged in one place for the busy person. However the busy person will find faster ways to make money than through Amazon Affiliate marketing. The main purpose, of Affiliate marketing, in my opinion, is to gain an additional small percentage income (and it is small) from something you would have been promoting in your blog or website anyhow. To set up a blog and website for the sole purpose of earning an income through Amazon Affiliate marketing would be one of the slowest routes I know to earn money. But this book certainly tells you how to do it. I'll give it that. It was clear and easy to read.

I agree that keywords can make or break any online business, it is the key to get found in this world wide web! This book is a must-have for anyone starting out in online marketing! It breaks down what the researcher should be looking for exactly when deciding on keywords for the business and how to analyze if those words are working or not. The author did a good job in offering comprehensive info that's explained clearly in great detail and suggesting tools. I think that any newbie wouldn't have difficulty following this as a guide.

My wife and I knew how to create a website using the basic software we bought, but we didn't have a clue how to get our website noticed. Paula Wynne's PIMP MY SITE is a user friendly DIY guide, a step-by-step approach written in a straight forward and easy-to-follow style.

We knew nothing about SEO, had avoided Facebook and the like, and thought YouTube was just for music videos. There was certainly a lot to learn. We would whole heartedly recommend this book. It's outlined 'day by day' so you learn and grow at your own pace.

This is a handy tool if you are looking to drive more traffic to your website.

Check that. It's not just a handy tool, it's more of a bible.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) How to Optimize Your Website for Internet Search Engines by Samuel Blankson

As a provider of web hosting services to small website developers I often stress to my clients the importance of search engine optimization when they are wondering why their site generates less traffic than they had hoped for. I now have the perfect title to recommend to them.

On reading this book I was delighted to find another comprehensive guide - in line with Blankson's "Guide to IT Contracting" - starting from the basics with good domain name choice, META tags,  search and directory submission, back-linking and banners; running through social marketing techniques including forums, groups and blogging; taking it the next step looking at driving traffic to your site with paid advertising, inclusions and affiliate marketing; fine tuning the basics and monitoring your hard work with more advanced tools; and finishing off with good old-fashioned offline methods of website promotion which are often forgotten including news, radio, tv, billboards, and others.

The informal style of writing the reaches all levels and uses limited jargon so that beginners do not feel intimidated and can immediately implement the strategies explained within the book. The advice imparted at the end "A large part of SEO is iterative and so you cannot expect to get 100% results from a single sitting..." is particularly important: a small effort on a regular basis ensures that traffic continues to finds your site - more than a one-off effort is required. So keep this book close at hand when you are enhancing your website!

The book does a fantastic job of explaining the basic principles of internet marketing, and serves as a great guide of tools and methods to understand any client's needs on the world wide web. The author does a great job of teaching, motivating, and encouraging any seasoned or newbie internet marketer about the ways of the web and I highly recommend this book to anyone searching for good information. Great job on a fantastic book, a short time after finding this book I came across a rejection free system that anyone can do and works on auto pilot. My very first week using this system I was able to make $755 my first week with just an hour a day! Here is the site. [...]Thanks for looking at my review.

I read your book "Internet Direct Mail" and I have to tell you that it is the most comprehensive e-marketing book in the market today. It is full of answers to questions about e-marketing that you can't find anywhere. I recommend it to everyone I know who is contemplating online marketing.  I am currently in the development stages of transforming a print publication to the Internet. Your book has proved to be invaluable. Thank you!

Despite what the book description said, I just assumed this book was for an internet idiot, someone who didn't know how to load a browser properly. The author does go into the merits of different browsers, btw, but the book is definitely for people who already know how to use the internet but cant do anything really amazing with it. Whats amazing? I guess it would be the sort of thing youd show a friend and shed ask how did you know how to do that? The book really has saved me some bucks on my mobile phone plan. Using the tips in here, I was able to minimize my movie streaming without having to minimize my movie watching. This is a super e book and exciting, too. I will probably wind up buying the author's book on fascinating ideas or on European travel

I liked this book. It covers Internet marketing in a pretty thorough manner. There's material about online public relations or reputation and credibility building. And there's coverage of online advertising. The book is split into two parts and ten chapters as follows:

I. Using public relations for longterm success (Chapters 1-5)
II. Making online advertising profitable for your business (Chapters 6-10)

1. Winning the SEO battle
2. Leveraging articles for the Web
3. Blogging for business
4. Networking in social media
5. Broadcasting your message
6. Connecting through email
7. Unleashing an affiliate force
8. Maximizing pay-per-click
9. Reaching out through contextual advertising
10. Targeting shopping communities

The book is well written and outlined pretty well. I'm not sure chapters 6 and 10 belonged in Part II, but who knows? And I'm not sure it is possible to UNLEASH an affiliate force (Chapter 7). But who knows? I would have liked the book better if chapters 1-6 and 10 had been included in the main body of the book. And the advertising and referral fee stuff were included in a short appendix section or saved for another book.

I think chapters 2, 3, and 5 were intimately related. And I would have kept them together instead of breaking them up by inserting Chapter 4 as the author did. And Chapter 5 (podcasting) could have been split into two chapters with one being about streaming audio and the other being about streaming video. 4 stars!

This book is published for the average person and online user. The author has written the book in a simple and understandable manner. What I like about it is that whoever reads the book, will quickly form an idea of what online marketing is all about. It covers the basics and fundamentals of marketing. And most of all guides the reader towards developing a marketing plan, which is the most essential tool for success. It touches briefly, but accurately all the important tools and techniques that a person might need for starting his, or her own online business. Along with all the definitions and explanations about the way you should do your online business, the book gives you real life examples of real Web sites that you can go and look at. I think it is a great book and everybody using it will learn the ropes of online marketing in a heartbeat.
