Everything I Needed to Know (and More) About Blogging
I needed a quick and easy-to-read guide for understanding and using Blogs. I got this and more from Blog Marketing.

Hmmm. Confused.
I didn’t really like this book. It may be helpful for someone who was living on the other planet for couple past years, or had not Internet connection.

Well Written for NEW Business Bloggers
I like to learn how things work & why, so this was a great book for me to consider the opportunity for a blog to impact my new small business.

I couldn’t disagree more with the previous reviewer. I found this book to be extremely informative and a real eye opener. I haven’t spent my idle time hanging around the “blogosphere”, and have never valued blogs since they semed like glorified public diaries that I didn’t care about. The idea that it is vital to get plugged into this whole world of blogging seemed completely alien to me. However, after reading this book I can see that I’ve very likely been dangerously wrong. So, for the person who has heard of a blog, but doesn’t understand all the ramifications, I’d highly recommend this book. You owe it to yourself to at least explore the possibility that someone could be talking about you behind your back, and you are not even aware of it.

Though all of the information in this book is available from a zillion online sources, it’s helpful to have everything in one place for easy reference. Mr. Wright provides easy-to-read basics on business blogging, including helpful tips on all aspects of blog development and instructive case studies.
I think the best audience for this book is a business executive who wants to start learning about blogging and how it can help his/her company. That should include a lot of people, because blogs may well come to dominate B2B & B2C marketing, new business development and customer retention, product development, and more. Business leaders need to be aware!

In-Depth Review of the Book

While it was probably a great deal of work, this author has done little more than regurgitate what is already written in the Cluetrain Manifesto, Customer Relations Management 101, and downloaded from sites on the net. I found very little that was new or enlightening in this tome. I was hoping for some new and invigorating concepts in marketing…but it’s not here.
