There is a new wave for marketers and I want to catch the wave! Can you recommend a webdesigner who understands torrents, web2.0 etc to be able to implement all that technology unto a website? I sell top tier products and need the newest technology. Thanks! http://www.travelbizcash.com Michelle

There are a lot of differences, but overdelivering and positioning yourself outside of the pack are principles that work whether you're online or offline. The biggest thing people need online is traffic. If you can master traffic, you can do just about anything. Well I wish you the best of luck in your transition to online!

I'm just coming at this from the point of view of a guy who runs a bricks and mortars business and where my competition can see every move I make - new products, pricing etc. and can even sit for a day and watch how my sales are going! Maybe that's why I find the online marketing world to be so different. Right now I'm looking to set up a site in my area of expertise and wondering how I might ever make an impact in that area. Hence my interest in this book and my probing comments :-) Absolutely, I can understand how perceptions are different from everyone.

I do know my "average" customer very well, via customer support interaction, surveys, etc. Marlon Sanders is a big advocate of the customer (or prospect) survey, and I am now as well. I commend you on being so proactive in a world where most people aren't. That said, you could just hit the payment link and see the name of the company you're sending money to, right? I will continue to privatize most of my domain registrations. There are markets that I do business in that are none of the other marketers business. That's why I wrote "It’s interesting how different people perceive different things." To each his own, eh? :-) Well, yeah, LOL.

If I don't get enough information on the site about who is selling the product and I revert to 'whois' maybe 1,000's of others do too - all potential customers...

Re: Digg type sites - yes, there are too may of them. "Social Media Riches" doesn't cover them. It covers only sites that pay for content submission.

Are there too many of them now do you think? Does the book cover anything like this? Finally, could I ask your thoughts on digg-like sites? Are there too many of them now do you think?

As for other marketers knowing your business - well that's something I wouldn't know anything about but it sure would make a good article and see what others think. Is the customer no longer "king" if all these other considerations come into play. As far as I'm concerned, if someone is selling me something and payment is transacted - the customer should know who they are buying from. Why should an internet business be any different from any other business in this regard?
