We are deeply honored that our contributions to the Internet were received so widely in the early days of the Internet.

PC Magazine, September 21, 1999 (p. 36) cited one of our most popular articles in an article entitled "Make Your Site a Success." "For a final flight check before launching your promotional campaign, read "The Web Marketing Checklist: 26 Ways to Promote Your Site" found at Web Marketing Today."


CyberTools for Business In CyberTools for Business (1573110256 Hoovers Business Press, 1997, pp. 87-88) Wayne Harris writes: "If you're seriously considering migrating to the Web, whether you're a computer novice or the systems administrator for a corporate intranet, the Web Marketing Info Center is as close as you'll come to Web nirvana.... One indication of how good this site is: some of the most helpful articles are written in-house by Wilson Internet Services director Ralph F. Wilson.... Regardless of whom you select to build your site, dropping by the Web Marketing Info Center will give you a solid benchmark against which to measure other competitors."


Flanders & Willis, Web Pages That Suck Web Pages That Suck (Sybex, March 1998), by Vincent Flanders and Michael Willis, comments our site and shows one of our pages. But don't worry, they say nice things. They call our Web Marketing Info Center "one of the best resources on the Internet that deals with marketing. You could and should spend days here. What Dr. Ralph F. Wilson has done is something everyone should be doing -- providing content."


Who's Marketing Online? "Dr. Ralph Wilson has developed a tactical marketing resource that goes beyond simple hotline compilation. The Promoting Your Web Site--worth the visit alone--is only a small part of these impressive, regularly updated pages." -- Charles Sayers, "Building Site Traffic," Cover Story, Who's Marketing Online, December 1995


"Top Web Site for Small Business"

"This handsome page, maintained by Ralph Wilson, a Rocklin, Calif.-based Web consultant, tells you how to set up a Website of your own. Cost: no more than $1,000. When you consider that a Web page is accessible to any Internet user in the world, that grand could be the smartest money you ever spent." -- Your Company published for American ExpressLamar Graham in Your Company magazine, Fall 1995, p. 39, published by Money for Corporate Cardmembers of American Express.

Web Review's Tipsheet

Web Review"Have you been reading the Doonesbury columns lately where Mike has to put up a Web site in one weekend? Are you in the same boat? Dr. Ralph Wilson has answers in his treasure trove of articles about the convergence of the Web and small business.

"The Tipster particularly appreciated one of the original articles by Dr. Wilson (OK, let's drop the honorific and call him Ralph). Aside from a mouthful of a title, 12 Web Page Design Decisions Your Business or Organization Will Need to Make is clearly written and cleverly designed. It even incorporates a form that helps you figure out what you really want in your Web presence. Ralph also publishes a free bi-weekly e-mail newsletter, Web Marketing Today. He wrote in by e-mail that the site is his way of "serving the Internet community." And the Tipster has faith that Ralph is not a cheeseball, especially after noting his reasonable rates and non-spamming policies." -- The Tipster, Web Review's Tip Sheet for December 8, 1995

Best buttonThe Web's BesT Marketing Resources

I have a confession to make. I take Ralph Wilson's (who I affectionately refer to as Dr. Ralph) Web Marketing Information Center for granted. It's a tremendous site and resource -- with links to more than 300 marketing-related articles. But its real value is in the insights written by Dr. Ralph himself, who has a personal and practical grasp of successful online marketing tactics. It's a site that will take several visits -- and every one you make will be well worth it. -- Charles Sayer, editor of Who's Marketing Online
