Profiles of 23 Incredibly Successful Websites You've Probably Never Heard Of
by Jaclyn Easton
This book offers the best in-depth examination yet available of what makes such winners tick.
Following a foreword by Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, Easton presents highly detailed portraits of a diverse collection of sites with little in common except for one crucial ingredient in her bottom-line recipe for online prosperity: "Be the first, be the best, or be different." Exactly how sites like iPrint, Horsenet, The Knot and Ask the Builder achieve this, of course, is as different as the cyberproducts they're peddling. Precise information on site creation, content development, revenue streams, promotional programs, and other operational aspects make this an extremely practical and motivational read.

Advertising on the Internet
by Robbin Zeff, Bradley Aronson
A review by one reader said, "This book from start to finish explains clearly what the web is about for an advertisers point of view. It tells you everything about banner ads you never knew before, and explains what is beyond the banner. I have read many books on this subject, and I must say this has not left anything out. If you are going to advertise on the web you will be foolish not to look at this first."
