5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well for Me, September 7, 2000

By 

Nora von Gerichten (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Ways to Boost Your Web Traffic : Internet Promotion Made Easier (Paperback)

I have to admit that I actually like this book. It is packed with simple yet practical guides for setting up a popular web site. I have read a few other web marketing books, and most of them are rich in principles but lacking specific action steps. 101 Ways comes with easy to follow instructions, which are immediately applicable. I find the idea to constantly test and measure your efforts particularly useful.

To test the author's own efforts, I did a search of "web marketing" in Yahoo! and I was surprised to see his Intesync site listed in the first category!! He proved to me that even with thousands of competitive sites, you can still find a way to be on top.

This review is from: 101 Ways to Boost Your Web Traffic : Internet Promotion Made Easier (Paperback)

As a Web site owner with about two years of Internet experience, I'm very impressed by this book. The author has done an excellent job in presenting the essential topics related to Web development, marketing, and promotion. I particularly like the companion site hosted at Intesync. It demonstrates many of the techniques in the book.

The first thing I do after reading the book is to pick 5 of the 101 techniques to work on (as suggested by the author). I select to create a Privacy Policy, add a "Tell a Friend" script, set up a mirror site using free Web space and domain name from NameZero.com, revise my news release and send it out using Internet Wire, and place a couple of Ezine ads. The results are still coming in. But I'm already excited about moving onto other techniques!
