Ive seen Matt wow crowds at Internet marketing conferences for years. He wows, because he has a gift for making a subject that many find daunting and complicated, sound accessible and eminently doable. The fact that hes been asked to write a book about his wisdom and experience speaks volumes. I hope to see many more volumes of Matts written work in bookshops and on slate devices for years to come.

Matt Bailey unpacks the mystery of SEO, site design, data and much else, in step-by-step directions, and plain English for the rest of us. No one else has approached the plain-English demystification of building an effective Web presence as cost-effectively and time-effectively as has Matt. This work is built on top of something like 15 years of experience in helping global majors and backyard amateurs be the best that they can be on the Internet. And maybe 5 years of teaching US Direct Marketing Association classes, and helping hundreds of students be the best they could be for themselves or for major companies in the US and abroad. If you have a struggling site and cant figure out why it isnt performing better, or if you just got your first PC and know your new business needs a Web presence, this book will more than repay you. It will build your business.

Internet marketing opens the door to business opportunities. It also an open door to potential pitfalls. The trick is to read Internet Marketing: An Hour a Day by SiteLogics President Matt Bailey so you can avoid the pitfalls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six oclock. Baileys book tells you what works, what doesnt and provides a practical, day-by-day, do-it-yourself plan for success. Its the first thing that I hand to new employees to get them up to speed. And I cant believe that Im praising a book written by a fan of The Ohio State University Buckeyes. Im a Wolverine from the University of Michigan. But Baileys book is that good. So, I urge you to read it, despite the authors tendency to remind me that weve lost the game for seven years in a row.
