Here you will find letters from some of the people that have benefited from Promotion World and it's accompanying newsletter, The Informer, over the past years, and have taken the time to write in and tell me about it! I don't know why anyone out there would find this page interesting... but I enjoyed putting it together!

Oh, and as a sidenote: I have a project for you. Next time you visit a website that you find helpful, drop the webmaster a quick note telling them that you like it. It doesn't have to be long, but it will most likely make their day! It always is very encouraging to receive a note like the ones you see here.


"I just got done with your promotion tutorial and it was done very well. It helped me realize a couple of the things I was doing wrong.(i.e. not being to picky about who's banners and buttons I show) So thank you for your information."

-- Kirk M. Dowd from http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Den/2933/

"I just want to personally thank you for the very helpful information that you have provided to me via your newsletter and your site at Promotion World. I am in the process of developing my own online business (Maycoons Catnip Pots) to augment my hobby, Maycoons Cattery, Maine Coon Cats of Distinction, and have been taking four courses to help me do this. Two of them, Small Business Management and the other, Small Business Marketing, have proven invaluable. Unfortunately they are not up to speed when it comes to ecommerce. I have had to learn about the specifics of ecommerce from very knowledgable people like you. I even wrote a research paper entitled " Advertising on the WWW: How to Build and Effective Web Site" and I cited many of Jennifer Johnson's cogent insights .

So, this is just a testimonial to your efforts. When I become a 'millionaire', you can feel gratified that you contributed enlarge to that success."

-- Debbie May from Maine Coon Cats of Distinction

"I just wanted to say thank you for your newsletter, I have just built my own web site which took me two months to do, not having a clue how to do it, but I got there in the end, and your newsletter has really helped me along the way, I am so glad that I signed up for it - keep up the good work."

-- Linda Prytherch from www.fotosouvenirs.com

"Just a note to say how good your web site is. It has really helped me understand web promotion."

-- David from Icem CFD meshing tools

"I would like to congratulate you because of your page. It is very good and have learned a lot out of it."

-- Andreas Ehrensberger from The Mexican Sailing Federation

"I just wanted to tell you that www.promotionworld.com is a great site. I've been there a few times and I've sent a few people there (when they ask for promotion tips). Keep up the great work."

-- Mike Gnitecki from wircd.com

"Just wanted to drop you a short note about your Web Promotion Tutorial. I thought it was excellent! I thought it was the right level of detail for beginners. I would consider myself an intermediate web developer and I found some useful information in the tutorial. The section about discussion groups and signature files was an aspect of site promotion I hadn't yet considered, but is something I will be doing in the future. You did an excellent job and I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of your site!"

-- Marc Griseta from http://www.directsatellite.com

"Not much to say other than your information on site promotion is simply the best. Kudos!"

-- Gilbert Feliciano from http://www.bigfoot.com

"Your site is really wonderful. I have "do it yourselfers" that are constantly asking for promotion advice. I saw a blurb somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) about your site. I came to take a peek and ended up propping my feet up on the internet coffee table and staying a while. Now, I have a place the "do it yourselfers" can be directed to for information."

-- M. Lanphier from Alabama Web Designers

"I know you probably hear this a lot, but thank you for your insight. Sometimes I forget about the little things in promoting websites. I really appreciated your tutorial and even now as a web designer I have remembered some things and learned new ones. THANK YOU!!!"

-- Anna Nielsen from www.grenadams.com

"I just went through your web promotion tutorial and I can't wait to start using your ideas! Like a lot of small businesses out there, we built a web site because it was "the thing to do". But without oomfing up the promotion of it, this sales tool was just about as effective as our ad in the yellow pages. I'm so glad I found your site so that I can finally put our site to work for us. Not to mention the fact that my boss will stop glaring at me every time he pays the host bill. Thanks for providing such as great service!"

-- Cynthia Kaplan Murdy from Abacus Payroll Systems

"I found it very helpful and returned to it to aid in the setting up of my web page. Thank you for your time spent on the preparation of the tutorial."

-- A. Riechman

-- Steven

-- Tom

"Great tutorial! I have been designing and maintaining web sites for two years and try to stay abreast of the changes in the industry. I have bookmarked your site for future use. Your site is valued by the advanced webmaster as well, because we need backup in our efforts to get our superiors to agree with us. Like in college you need to list your sources, so must we do in the role of webmaster when reporting to managers and marketing teams."

-- Sean P. Ryan, Paradox-KC

"I really enjoy your newsletter. I think that issue 57 has really hit on some issues that many of us out here can relate to, and profit from! Keep up the Great work."

-- Naveen

"Hey thanks a lot! Your tutorial really helped me get my web page advertised. I couldn't believe it when my counter reached 100 for the first time. I just wanted to say that your page really helped and I laughed every time I saw something about raising and selling beetles."

-- Jupiterstar from http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Harbor/7045

"I just finished reading your tutorial on web site promotion... it had a lot of things that I hadn't even considered! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world."

-- Robert Adler from http://members.tripod.com/aceaxe

"I am emailing you to thank you for the information on your web site. I work at a small company and sort of fell into the "webmaster" title because I took a HTML class. However, I know very little about web site promotion. I will look forward to your newsletters and am thankful I didn't have to spend a ton on money on a consultant to promote our site for us."

-- Bridget McQueen

"This is to thank you for the fantastic web pages belonging to Promotion World. I am a career man bursting with entrepreneurial energy and long to work for myself. I knew that the Internet would be the way forward for my not yet established business. At long last, I have found someone to help me. The information contained in your tutorial has been the lifesaver in my ambition to start a business. Thank you for sharing this information with me. I will be returning to your website for more information soon."

-- Lee Turner

"I was pleased to find your site. I think was very easy to understand and gave me some very solid ideas on how to promote my brand new site. I will bookmark this page and return to it from time to time. Thank you."

-- Rita Morgan

"As a sales manager for a new web design company located in Syracuse N.Y., I have filled my files with more knowledge and ideas regarding this NEW medium "The Internet". My back ground was in traditional advertising and marketing (print) and your newsletter and archives have been a real education. I want to thank you for allowing me to glean an incredible amount of information here."

-- Dick West from WebTech 2001

"Thanks for the great tutorial. I have just finished making my first site and was wondering how to get people to see it. I have learned a lot!! Now I realize I need to do much more before I even begin to promote it! Thanks again for all the hard work you have done to help me out!"

-- Lorraine

"After being planted on your site for over a hour last night, I felt very compelled to write you this morning to tell you how much I enjoyed my visit. Not only did I find it quite informative and full of the most useful information, but very friendly and creatively written! I do not know if "Promotion World" was created and written solely by yourself, but nevertheless, it's wonderful! There are a couple of websites I am working on now: one for the production company in which I work for, and another separate project of my own. Both have great potential to generate a good amount of revenue as well as traffic if they are done correctly. I wanted to make sure I had thoroughly researched all avenues and options when it comes to on-line marketing. My research brought me to your site (Yahoo spit it out) and I've found it to be the most interesting one I've seen yet."

-- Julie Riggins from Network Productions Group, Inc.

"Thanks. This tutorial has been very helpful."

-- Suzanna Dudley from Knowledge Development Solutions, Inc.

"Enjoyed your tutorial. Great job of putting everything in easy to understand format. Of the hundreds of articles I have read on promotion, yours put it into the best perspective. I've been in web design for a year now and still feel like a newbie. You gave me some solid information I can definitely refer to. Keep up the good work and I will be looking forward to your advanced course."

-- Kevin Kemp from Driftwood Data

"I just finished reading your latest issue of the Informer. What an apt title. Your newsletter is by far the best newsletter on Internet marketing that I have seen. I do not say that lightly. I subscribe to twenty-four such publications and for my "money" yours is head and shoulders above all of them. The content is superb and informative not to mention very practical. Even the ads are unobtrusive unlike most of the newsletters I get. I will definitely archive all issues and refer to them often. I hope you continue to publish for a very long time. I say thanks again. I can't believe this quality information is free!"

-- Jeff Schumann

"What a wonderful website. Thank you for all of your assistance! "

-- Becky Foster from QuoteStop

-- Tori Lilley, Marketing Manager Venetec International, Inc.

"Great Tutorial! Easy to understand. I knew a lot of the information but kept reading because it was fun and I kept learning little things that make a big difference. I am happy I found you."

-- Patrick Van Slyke from http://www.aaaalliance.org

"A myriad of information about web site promotion. It's online tutorials will funnel the complex issue of promotion in a way that novices will embrace and experts will still learn a thing or too. Well laid out and easily navigated."

-- Mark of Excellence, December 1998

"Your site is what I have been looking for. You have provided me with all the tools needed to make my site known to the world. I have read every word in your site. It was very educational and entertaining. It was if you were speaking directly to me. I believe you when you say you have won a lot of awards. You deserve it."

-- Nino Mendoza http://www.warestore.com

"I really think your tutorial for promoting web sites is great. I'm new at this and it's just what I need. My husband and I are building a site and you gave me some pretty good ideas. Now I just have to make him read it. Thanks."

-- Brenda

"I'm looking forward to your newsletter! by the way of the dozens and dozens of promote/market/traffic build internet sites I've cruised, yours is by far one of the best. I will visit a lot. I can be a good student when I want to be."

-- Chris Tucker from http://www.rmctravelmarketing.com

"I want to take the time to thank you for your tutorial on web promoting. By my subject matter you probably have guessed...I am a 'newbie' (not sure if that term is good or bad). I very seldom, if ever, take the time to respond on the things I've learned and found on the internet to assist me in elevating out of the above category. However, your tutorial was the "best" that I have discovered (and I have spent hours upon hours searching the net to learn). I am very grateful and wanted to extend a big....THANK YOU!"

-- Charles W. Hill from http://cwhill.com

"Just an note to wish you a very good and well earned summer break - I shall certainly miss The Informer which has helped me so much over the past 8 months - invaluable! I am even regarded as something of an expert by my associates now! I just wish I could find the time to put all the many improvements needed on my site - it will be done! "

-- Tony MacDonnell from www.showbizuk.mcmail.com

"I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that I appreciate all of the useful information that I've found in your website and in the newsletter that I received. I'm a beginner, to say the least, just trying to promote the company website. Your site is wonderful! Thank you!"

-- Jennifer Graham

"I get a lot of garbage, "buy this" email newsletters. (Well...I subscribed). Your newsletter is REALLY helpful. Thanks. Keep 'em coming."

-- Roger Basham

"Your publication has such a wealth of information that I rarely get to read all of it with my busy schedule. Your messages are among the very few that I do not regularly delete after reading. I have not yet published my commercial site. I'm gathering ideas for it at present and you are helping."

-- Dan

"I really enjoy your newsletter; you have some excellent links for site designers. Keep up the good work!"

-- Jennifer Johnson from ASPiRE Internet Marketing

"This site features an intriguing compendium of marketing tips, emphasizing free or cheap strategies. It also has "expert interviews" with marketing pros covering specific topics."

-- Computer Currents, June 1998

"As a human factors engineer and usability professional I'm glad to see that you have a very clean an efficient site. The content is very good -- it is easy to digest and it is concise. The navigation is simple yet elegant. The users of your site are lucky; keep up the great work."

-- John S. Rhodes from WebWord

"Absolutely fantastic web promotion tutorial! Most comprehensive, easy to use tutorial I have read on the subject of web promotion! And I have read a lot of articles. This one has real meat that I can "take to the bank" in language I understand. And details. Not just theory or generalization can be found in the additional resources sidebar articles!"

-- Shane

"Just wanted to say that in the never-ending flow of garbage spewing into my mailbox, your newsletter is a beam of light. I really like it. Thought that it would be just more filter material when I signed up for it, but I was wrong. I read every issue and have used numerous tips and surf some of the sites mentioned. Keep up the good work and have a peaceful and happy holiday."

-- Suzanne Bucciarelli from Dandy Lions Persians

"The tutorial was great, showed me what to put time into and what to ignore."

-- Charles Warner from WindowsTips

"I just wanted to tell you how great a service it is that you are providing those of us who have literally no idea what we're doing. I shouldn't even have a web page, but I do. I just got the first issue (for me, anyways), and it's great! I'm looking through the archives right now checking out stuff, and I've shared this find with others, so there you go...free publicity. Thanks again! Promotion World is great!"

-- Fran from MikeTown

"As a new Informer subscriber, [which in itself is a misnomer because your gold mine is open to anyone who cares to fill their pockets with pure and free promo info!] I want to encourage you in the superb job you are doing. Thanks for the archives--they are invaluable when it comes to "getting the whole (free) picture!" grover e gall."

-- Grover from http://surf.to/poetry.fiction

"While some people may think me crazy for spending untold (no way I'm telling) amounts of time and effort on a site that neither accepts advertising nor sells a product nor solves some great world crisis, it's what I do. And every issue of the Informer brings some tidbit (or many tidbits) of information I can use in my efforts."

-- Claire from WockyJivvy

"I take a lot of newsletters. Yours is one of the best. Keep up the good work."

-- Homer Sanders from Lightning Productions

"This is an outstanding site, I wish I had seen it earlier."

-- Patrick Cavanagh

-- Linda Swan

"I have found your newsletter info very helpful. Especially since I am new to this whole computer world and I learn more every minute. I have been afraid to explore some areas, out of fear and ignorance, you help me with something every time I read the info."

-- Donna from http://www.clatsop.com/weiss

"Thanks for having a basic tool for promotion on the Internet. The information has been very beneficial."

-- LaNita from LaNita.com

I have quite a few other letters like these, but I think that I have posted enough for now. Otherwise this page would get way too long!
