Lots of real life examples, plus quotes, trivia and even an exclusive website for readers all combine to make learning a pleasure, and give you plenty of tools to build a better online presence. It’s one of those books that I tend to refer to time and time again – to recap information, and to get guidance in new or challenging situations. I have successfully used the advice contained within to my advantage on many occasions.

A great list of suggested further reading, lots of useful links, and a comprehensive index round out this book and make it invaluable in both your business and your home life. I would recommend this book to anyone !

I thought that using a business strategy that Walt Disney used would be unique and maybe would make my site unique. However, what I read was really just a rehash of what all the rest of the web site business books say; only in a much smaller package. Simple. Succinct. No frills. This book reads more like notes taken in a college class then by someone who really knows the subject and who wants everyone to understand it. And at a listed price of $20 US, it is a bit costly. And don't believe the claim of a 800 page web site to back up the book. Maybe I'm just blind, but I couldn't find those 800 pages. I did find a very simple web site that provided mighty few resources to back up that 800 page claim. <p>Over all this book was a big disappointment. If you must read it, get it at the library and save your money for a more comprehensive book on web site marketing or maybe Mr. Hamilton's book on Disney Magic.

It appears that it was written by a high schooler. It repeats itself and NEVER give secrets to internet marketing. It tells you that you have to market on the internet but never tells you how to do it, which is what the title implies. Please don't buy this piece of junk. Save your money and learn it on your own.
