QUOTES FROM THE BOOK
  • "Maintaining a blog is important. Obviously, the first way to start building up search visibility is to keep building content, and blogs are an easy way to do that." (Ed Shull, NetResults)

  • "I would encourage people to not get taken in by the hype. I suppose it's inevitable; pretty much anybody who gets interested in promoting their web site, making money online, and all of that, within a few weeks they're going to be on a dozen different email lists and they're going to be bombarded and blasted by all kinds of stuff. I would caution people to be careful to not get all enamored with the 'idea of the week' bandwagon. " (Perry Marshall, Perry S. Marshall & Associates)

  • "ExactTarget really, really focuses on the database. So for smaller businesses, we'll host their database. For larger businesses, we integrate. We have what's called an application programming interface, or an API, that integrates with any other data sources and makes all this data talk together." (Chris Baggott, ExactTarget)

  • "Success from a business standpoint or marketing standpoint with social networks is centered around people being transparent and honest, and in putting information out there that gives an indication of what they're really like." (Lee Odden, TopRank Online Marketing)
