Amazon.com Review
Internet advertising is still a business finding its legs, but it is already an important part of most successful commercial sites. And for companies that are not Web-based, the Internet is now an important medium to consider for marketing strategies. In the second edition of Advertising on the Internet, authors and Net advertising professionals Robbin Zeff and Brad Aronson survey the current state of advertising online.

Though many of the concepts the authors present are extensions of traditional advertising issues, the book offers a very comprehensive view of things; even seasoned Webmasters will learn from this title. The various advertising models and techniques are illustrated, with the balance of effectiveness versus user annoyance discussed frequently.

In addition to the technical aspects of getting your word out on the Web, the book also covers special international considerations, legal restrictions and cautions, and targeting techniques, plus it includes a lengthy resource list. Zeff and Aronson's analysis of the Web details how to track site and user statistics to monitor usage patterns and ad effectiveness. Whether you're a techie or not, this book provides some useful insights. --Stephen W. Plain

Topics covered: Online ad models, direct marketing, Web measurement, targeting, pricing models, selling ads, buying ads, market research, international advertising, legal issues, and advertising for free (or almost).

Customer Reviews

Decent intro, but too much filler.
This is a decent introductory book, but feels like a double-spaced term paper trying to hit a page count.

It covers every aspect and seems as good a place to start as any. Don't try to read it through - use it as a reference book, and skip around to what you need.

It is filled with screen shots (that are always on the next page) and one of those 50-page appendix lists that should be online.

If you must choose one book: this is the one.
When it comes to internet marketing, this book is a must-have. Whether you're launching your own small site or a corporate site, this book will go into great detail about what you can do for advertising. This book is my master reference book in marketing strategy.

Complete in every aspect!
During the last couple of months I have been working on an advertising project, and this book has solved just about every doubt or question that I have had. I consider it a great reference book that explains directly and very tecnically the needs and "how to" of an on-line advertiser and publisher, this way you can understand both sides of on-line advertising.
