Better off Leaving it to Professionals!
This is a solid overview of the internet marketing genre. However, if you are serious about your small business, odds are you just do not have the time available to focus on internet marketing. Internet Marketing is something that requires a lot of work and a lot of attention. Having said that, you may go months without knowing if you are doing things correctly. The reason I say that is because search engines like Google, take several days even months to crawl your website and re-adjust its page rank calculations. If you are looking to get your web site to the top, I would highly recommend using professionals in the field. My advice would be to visit www.novelconceptstudio.com as they worked for me and did a phenomenal job keeping me in the loop.

Could This Be For You?
Web Marketing for Dummies leverages your line marketing knowledge in controlling the Web. Because the author wrote this for owners of small businesses, where money is king, I suggest dozens of free low-cost guerrilla marketing ideas you can try online.

Nice....
Good way to familiarize myself with the terminology and theory so I can work intelligently with our webmaster. Saves time, and thus, money.

A must have if you own a web site
As a small tackle shop owner, and not a marketing Guru, I found this (as well as many of the Dummies books) to be worth every penny a hundred times over.
Because of this book, our web site and plan got an overhaul that WORKED. Straight forward advice, links and dos and don’t about getting your website out there, useable, web friendly, and real world ideas on how to bring qualified traffic to your site.
I would suggest this before you dump money into adwords, or any other strategy you find online at random.
We found connections inside to usability studies, digital customer service tips, real working costs of aquiring new customers, guerrilla marketing techniques.
Simply put, if you have a website, or are getting one, you need this book. I will be buying an updated copy with every new release to keep on the cutting edge of what REALLY works in the digital world.

Excellent Overview of Internet Marketing
Jan Zimmerman’s Web Marketing For Dummies gives you an excellent overview or summary of internet marketing tactics and strategies. She clearly helps you determine the purpose of your website and how to drive traffic to your website or landing page. She covers many topics from search engine optimization to blogging.

This book helps anyone who is starting online marketing and it provides an excellent checklist for experienced webmarketers. In fact, her Web Marketing Methods Checklist in chapter 2 is worth the purchase price of the book alone.

When you want to "drill deeper" on any particular online marketing strategy, you will then have to explore other online marketing resources and information. For example, Peter Kent’s Pay Per Click Search Engine Marketing For Dummies provides thorough information about pay per click advertising, including Google Adwords.

In short, I highly recommend Web Marketing for Dummies for both new and experienced internet marketers.
