About the Internet Marketing Database
I have a passion for Internet marketing and the blessing to have worked in the field since 1999. Throughout the years I keep hearing the same questions over and over and thought it would be helpful to pull the answers together in a single source — The Internet Marketing Database. Mostly as a personal repository for all the information I like to keep track of but also as a tool for other marketers.
Here you will find descriptions of tried and true Internet marketing tactics as well as information on emerging opportunities. I will keep the site up to date with examples and case studies. As a repository for examples that record the success metrics of online campaigns I hope to provide a valuable resource to anyone that is asked (as I constantly am) “What’s the expected measurable results of doing X”.
About Me
For me it all started when I got my first computer – an IBM PC Junior in 1985 (Thanks Dad!). The thing didn’t do anything. It was a really cool box that sat there full of possibilities. My friends and I learned the basics (e.g. Basic) and started to get the green and black screen to do a couple things – draw line, make ping sounds, add numbers together.
Fast forward 10 years and that box now gets connected to all of the other boxes via the “Internet”. I got the itch to get involved, left my job with a computer peripherals company, and moved to NYC to work at a “Dot Com”. Since then I’ve learned a lot and had a blast! My current focus is merging offline and online play to create a new generation of creative activities for kids. This journey is just beginning and there is a lot more to learn, do, and fun to have.
Along the way I’ve worked in one capacity or another on the following web sites:
