Dr. Ralph F. Wilson

Now retired, he is widely recognized as one of the top international authorities in Web marketing and e-commerce. Business Week called his popular WilsonWeb.com website: "bar none the best e-commerce resource out there." Business 2.0 profiled him as one of the savvy dot-com survivors. The New York Times named Dr. Wilson "among the best-known Internet Marketing publishers and consultants who preach the responsible use of e-mail for marketing."

He was the founding editor of Web Marketing Today^®, the grandfather of the Internet marketing e-zines, published continuously 1995-2016, sold in 2012 to Confluence Publishers. Content of WMT was merged into Practical Ecommerce in May 2016.

He is a winner of the Tenagra Award for Internet Marketing Excellence and the author of hundreds of articles and more than a dozen books, including Planning Your Internet Marketing Strategy (John Wiley & Sons, 2002), The E-Mail Marketing Handbook (Second Edition, 2005), and The Shopping Cart Report (Second Edition, 2004).

Dr. Wilson has spoken widely in the US and abroad as a professional speaker on Internet marketing and e-commerce. His one-day seminars, such as the Internet Marketing Best Practices Briefings (2001-2006), were held on university campuses all over the US. An ordained minister, he serves in a local congregation and maintains an extensive Internet Bible study and Christian writing ministry.

He plays the guitar and autoharp and sings, and admires bluegrass and Celtic fiddlers. Since retirement, he has taken up watercolor painting. When there's time he enjoys woodworking, reading Civil War history, and walking in the woods. Dr. Wilson holds three earned academic degrees and lives with his wife on a ten acres he calls "Wildwood" in Loomis, California, about 20 miles northeast of Sacramento.
