Let me know when you write the next one, I'll be one of the first to pick it up.<BR/><BR/>Thanks much,<BR/><BR/>John PossumatoJohn Possumatohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15228824123324109095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385605.post-30252313816571785872007-10-22T08:55:00.000-07:002007-10-22T08:55:00.000-07:00Catherine, <BR/><BR/>Just so you know..<BR/> I am a beginner breaking into the SEO/SMM world and picked up your book , <B>Search Engine Advertising</B>, last week @ B&N. I'm halfway through the book and it is already helping me organize all of my ideas and plans for my clients. <BR/><BR/>I am also learning so much! I actually had a thought as I was reading the book this morning on the subway: "Wouldn't it be great if she (you) wrote a book about the Social Media Marketing Revolution?" <BR/><BR/>Maybe I am behind, and maybe you have. But I just wanted to let you know that your work has definitely helped a lot. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie WeingartFrozen2latehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11321554592405653810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385605.post-68552053174357958902007-10-06T14:59:00.000-07:002007-10-06T14:59:00.000-07:00Hello,<BR/>I don't even know you personally, but I can tell how greatly you've influenced and helped others.

I read your column every month, as well as your newsletter. I'm now reading How to Win Sales and Influence Spiders. And I've already preordered your second edition of Search Engine Advertising.

Much like a muscle that rests after exertion becomes stronger, so does the mind... <BR/><BR/>Have you thought about trying improv comedy..? <BR/><BR/>Michael GreweMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14039937457821991350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385605.post-63511931724561599722007-09-03T18:29:00.000-07:002007-09-03T18:29:00.000-07:00Catherine,<BR/><BR/>Before reading you book “How to win Sales & Influence Spiders” I had all but signed a contract with an SEO company @ $2500 per month with a min. 6 months agreement. I was at a local book store scanning the July issue of Entrepreneur; when I saw an ad for your book. I went to the shelf and purchased it that very night. Over the next week I read the entire book twice.<BR/> <BR/>Though I felt that the SEO Company I had selected was more than competent to handle the search engine optimization for my new site; they were not planning to do a third of what you discussed in the book. Needless to say; I am doing my own search engine optimization now. Thanks for your book. It has saved me about $15,000 and best of all time. A bit of advice; charge more for your next book…<BR/><BR/>Also, When ask by the SEO Company why I was not following through on the contract. I just sent them a copy of your book. I haven’t heard from them since. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Chad Hill<BR/>Augusta, GAChad Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14358812375966988814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385605.post-14486201852363657762007-09-03T17:40:00.000-07:002007-09-03T17:40:00.000-07:00Hi Cat,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great books.
