Internet Marketing Methods Revealed, The Complete Guide to Becoming an Internet Marketing Expert; book; Miguel Todaro; Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc.; 338 pgs.
Review: Brick ONeil
One phrase that I would use with Miguel Todaro’s book is “In-Depth”. In this Internet Marketing book, Miguel leaves no stone unturned. If, after reading, studying and putting into practice his sage advice, you don’t have significant new growth for your business, you can’t blame the author.
In this detailed Marketing book, Todaro discusses in-depth SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Optimization, PPC (pay per click), Keywords, Ads, Newsletters, E-Mail Marketing, E-Commerce Strategy, CMS (Content Management Systems), flash and SEO. His most discussed subject is PPC (pay per click) Marketing, devoting five of his twenty chapters to it.
Todaro discusses HTML quite a bit, for those that are more than spectators or have more than a passing interest in developing their own (or work in the field of Marketing or computer languages) web pages, marketing, PPC, etc. This book is more for the professional Internet Marketer than a casual observer or beginner.
If you’re wondering how to start Marketing your business or service on the internet, or are looking for a chapter or two to get a good idea of what Miguel Todaro is all about, a good place to start is his chapters on submitting your website to Internet Search Engines and Keywords. Keywords are of a vital importance to getting good traffic to your website.
These two chapters could help even the most novice Internet Marketer successfully build traffic to their website, business or service.
With as much detail as Miguel Todaro goes into, this is more geared towards other professional Internet Marketers (or, at the very least, towards those who have a more passing acquaintance with HTML, PPC and the like). I would rate this book a 5, if only for the two chapters on submission and keywords.

The world of ‘Internet Marketing’ can sometimes seemed filled with ambiguity and contradictions. Thank goodness for books like Internet Marketing Methods Revealed by Miguel Todaro. Dubbed as ‘The Complete Guide to Becoming an Internet Marketing Expert’, this manual eliminates the mystique surrounding topics like search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, and direct email marketing.
Increasing traffic to one’s website is an obvious priority for businesses that operate online; Todaro spends much of his book effectively outlining ways to accomplish this. However, a key differentiator for this book is that the author also helps the reader to understand the difference between site traffic and potential clients. “The distress about people coming to the site was removed after the year 2000,” Todaro states. “Today’s worry is the quality of the audience and the chance to make them convert from potentials to clients.” In Internet Marketing Methods Revealed, the author teaches readers to make the distinction between what Todaro calls “good traffic” and simply “traffic.”
While expertly navigating readers through terms like blogging, banner advertising, and viral marketing, this book helps make sense of a confusing field and helps the average Joe become savvy and confident online.

The Internet has dramatically changed the way successful entrepreneurs do business in today’s digital economy. It is now possible (and essential) to advertise and sell goods and services directly to the consumer. Experienced Internet marketer Miguel Todaro provides an easy to follow, practical step-by-step model that any business owner can use to identify and target the potential customers among the millions of people who surf the web daily.
Traditional marketing versus digital marketing is explained, the importance of search engine optimization (SEO) and a practical implementation guide is offered as well as information on how to optimize one’s web site. The chapters (there are twenty) are well written and there is a helpful glossary included. Internet Marketing Methods Reveal is truly “the complete guide to becoming an Internet marketing expert.”
Also, part of the profits from this book will be donated to The Humane Society of the United States in honor of “Bear” a rescued dog who served as “Vice President of Sunshine” at Atlantic Publishing until his recent death.

(4 of 5 Stars)
Internet Marketing Methods Revealed by Miguel Todaro is more than just a how to guide to promoting your business on the Internet. It gives you an evolution of marketing online, tells you why it’s a good time to learn how to make the most of it, and then it helps you to learn how to do it. Rather than give you step by step instructions the book teaches you how to understand why something works, and what specifically searchers and search engines are picking up on. It doesn’t ask you to take advice based on faith; rather it teaches you how and why you need to adjust your website to best promote your business. Todaro’s book will help you keep up with the Internet.
Todaro’s book provides everything you need to take your business to the next level with Internet marketing. He discusses keywords and how to select which ones to use and which ones not to. Multiple word keywords and phrases are the best, while single words often have too many hits so that it’s almost impossible to get your site to come up in the first page of Google hits. All types of ads are mentioned, from the annoying and virtually useless pop-up ad, to the more profitable pay per click style. This book will teach you how to formulate a good headline and text for a PPC ad that will actually get clicked. Newsletters, affiliate programs, and e-mail marketing are all mentioned as well, with in depth analysis of how best to use these methods to develop a winning marketing strategy. The focus is on drawing the potential customers out there to your site, rather than just bumping up traffic statistics with users that may not have any real interest in buying something from you.
Anyone looking to expand their business by marketing on the Internet would benefit from reading this book. If you’re not marketing your business on the Internet, you’d definitely benefit from reading this book, because Internet marketing hasn’t even reached critical mass yet and is already outshining television, radio, and print advertisements. Online sales are going up every year, and the most successful businesses are set up to utilize this growing market.
