Book Description

"The Long Tail" is a powerful new force in our economy: the rise of the niche. As the cost of reaching consumers drops dramatically, our markets are shifting from a one-size-fits-all model of mass appeal to one of unlimited variety for unique tastes. From supermarket shelves to advertising agencies, the ability to offer vast choice is changing everything, and causing us to rethink where our markets lie and how to get to them. Unlimited selection is revealing truths about what consumers want and how they want to get it, from DVDs at Netflix to songs on iTunes to advertising on Google. However, this is not just a virtue of online marketplaces; it is an example of an entirely new economic model for business, one that is just beginning to show its power. After a century of obsessing over the few products at the head of the demand curve, the new economics of distribution allow us to turn our focus to the many more products in the tail, which collectively can create a new market as big as the one we already know. The Long Tail is really about the economics of abundance. New efficiencies in distribution, manufacturing, and marketing are essentially resetting the definition of whats commercially viable across the board. If the 20th century was about hits, the 21st will be equally about niches.

Este es un libro estructural. Ayuda a comprender la forma en que trabaja la economia a la luz de los avances de internet.

Pero tambien es un placer leerlo, lenguaje claro, ejemplos relevantes. Un lujo.

2 out of 5 stars Good article, stretched out to a padded book.......2007-09-26

This book started off as an article in Wired Magazine, and it was an excellent one. But Anderson must have decided to cash in, because the book doesn't add anything that wasn't covered in the article itself. It's not a complex concept.

Read the article on the Wired website. Then go spend your money on something from a tiny niche market.

3 out of 5 stars One Trick Pony.......2007-09-09

This is one of those books that has one, keen insight and then takes one hundred + pages to say the same thing over and again. The keen point is indeed interesting. It just does not a complete book make. My $.02 !!

5 out of 5 stars Good book for the startup entrepreneur in the 21-century .......2007-08-20

This is an insightful book into the today's world of retail business. Cool examples of how the Internet has leveled the playing field for many small businesses and artist.

5 out of 5 stars Looking at it from the point of view of the producer and not the consumer or the retailer .......2007-08-16

I am not much of a business mind but I think I get the picture here. Instead of twenty percent of the product bringing in eighty percent of the revenue ninety- eight percent of the product is going to bring in all the revenue. Having so much available, and having ready access to it means sales no longer concentrate on a relatively few items. Freedom of choice abounds, niches multiply, Alvin Toffler is happy, future shock is no longer shocking, customization is here forever, and we all can have anything we want as long as we are able to pay for it.
Good. But I think of this in another way. Does this mean that 'value' also will not be centered as we ordinarily center it in the great works, the masterpeices, the few chosen ones? Does it mean our whole conception of valuing cultural goods will change, and a few big things will be less worshipped while many more appreciated? In other words will deTocqueville be happy here because 'equality' is in the saddle and mankind has many little good things, instead of the aristocracy only having a few?
And what does that mean for creators of culture? As a writer can I now happily post my unpublished writings with the thought that perhaps a few will read them, where before none did. In other words a moneyless long- tail is still a long- tail.
I don't know. But I do sense Anderson has hit on to a new truth here which will have all kinds of implications better business people than me will have to see.

Book Description

This comprehensive, market-leading text emphasizes the three major driving forces behind e-commerce: technology change, business development, and social controversies. Each of these driving forces is represented in every chapter, and together they provide a coherent conceptual framework for understanding e-commerce, typical of Laudon books. The book offers in-depth and comprehensive coverage of concepts in marketing, economics, IS/IT, privacy and intellectual property. The book contains numerous case studies and an additional case book is available.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook on E-commerce.......2006-04-05

I just received the new edition of Laudon and Traver's textbook on e-commerce and think its just great! I previously used the 2nd edition, which I also loved, and this new edition lives up to its predecessor. It contains all new and updated information and is extremely current. Its so well-written that it doesn't read like a textbook at all. I highly recommend it to anyone interesting in learning about e-commerce.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but dated...........2005-11-26

I have used this textbook for several years - while it is a good basic source of information, it badly needs updating and supplementation in several important areas: RFID is not mentioned; Mobile/hand set E-Commerce is covered at a surface level, Search Engine and major Portal marketing needs updating, and much of the data are 3+ years old - very old given the rapid changes taking place.

If you are teaching an E-Commerce course from a Marketing perspective, with this book as the base, be prepared to suppement this textbook with books such as Spychips, and student subscriptions to WSJ or NY Times. Ad Age is another excellent supplementary information source.

This is one of the few areas in business where the textbook should be updated every 2 years.

Note from Spring 07 - the newer edition is better but still requires supplementation on areas auch as RFID and security.

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy.......2005-10-04

This was a great buy, The book came in the indicated condition and has been a great help!

4 out of 5 stars E-Commerce: Business, Technology, Society.......2005-08-18

Good book, easy to read and informative. Gives a good overview of e-commerce and introduces you into the business giving you a historical perspective and good hints to develop you own site.

5 out of 5 stars Practical, Informative, and Interesting.......2005-07-06

This is a college level text book that is actually interesting. It is very well written and most importantly, it is NOT boring. It's amazing how easy it is to read such a large book in a short amount of time when the book is well written. You will be able to actually design and learn how to host your own E-Commerce web site after reading this book. And it's a lot less expensive than you might think. This book is expensive but well worth it with excellent print and illustrations. It's easy to see that a lot of work went into this gigantic hardbound masterpiece.

    5 out of 5 stars The most valuable book in Internet Marketing & E-commerce.......2007-02-07

    To be successful in Internet marketing and e-commerce you have to start learning every important area that makes Internet so powerful and valuable. You have to understand about networks but also individual's behavior online. It is important to learn about traffic building and usability - and more. I will strongly recommend this book from Ward Hanson and Kirthi Kalyanam - Buy it - Read it - and start your successful road.

    1 out of 5 stars Just one word: A classic, out of date, no technical expertise.......2006-12-23

    Internet Marketing and e-Commerce (Hardcover) by Ward Hanson, Kirthi Kalyanam appears to be a remake of Hansons Internet Marketing book; the main structure and writing style is similar to this groundbreaking marketing book from the 1990s. At that time the book was certainly interesting - several years later however one expects such titles to reflect the changes within the internet marketing industry. The book lacks references to technological changes, web metrics, search engine optimization and vice versa - as such i can not recommend this book to my students, it is simply out of date and of no practical value.

    This books is good for Google AdWords and worth the money. I didn't think it was as great as some of the others, but if you want to learn a lot about Google AdWords, you will learn new things in this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Not just common sense ideas........2007-10-17

    Most books like this are a bunch of common sense things that most halfway intelligent people can think of themselves. This book is not like that. It is written to help anyone using Google AdWords. It will save you money and drive customers to your website by teaching you tricks unique to Google. I finished reading it and had two pages of ideas of things to change for my already successful Google campaign. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing to do any Web campaign work. The authors also point out the unique things that Google can do for companies today that companies could not do before. If you have a good product, and can find the right words to convey your message, this book will help you do drive thousands of customers to your website for a very low price. Selling it still up to you, but the thought of driving people to your website who are actively seeking information on the product that you are selling, and paying a pretty small price for each click is/should be exciting to many a entrepreneur. This book will definitely help you to attain that goal.
    My biggest complaint about the book is that there was nowhere to take notes in the book so that I could do all the things that this book made me think of.

    5 out of 5 stars Ultimate guide to Google Adwords.......2007-10-14

    This is a great book for anyone advertising or thinking about advertising on Google. It is complete, and I believe a must read to save yourself time and above all money!

    4 out of 5 stars Worthy Companion for "Affiliate Millions".......2007-10-13

    I got this book to supplement Affiliate Millions (Anthony Borelli). Affiliate Millions is the first and only book I have read on the topic of internet advertising as a business. I was looking for something to flesh out some of the topics Mr. Borelli introduces.

    To my knowledge, Affiliate Millions is the only book devoted to the business of placing ads on Google to generate search traffic to various websites with the hope of collecting commissions through their affiliate programs. This business is sometimes called search engine marketing, affiliate marketing, paid placement, and so on.

    Other books, such as the Ultimate Guide, address the topic of using Google AdWords to generate traffic for YOUR website. It's not quite the same as generating traffic for someone else but many of the principles apply.

    You want to optimize your advertising campaigns for the highest placement at the lowest cost. The Ultimate Guide has a wealth of useful advice for this objective. The book has a thorough discussion of split-testing your ads to improve their "click-through rate." It introduces the "peel and stick" strategy for creating separate ads for the most effective keywords. There is extensive discussion of writing ad copy (which Mr. Borelli says is KING in affiliate marketing).

    Yes, Ultimate Guide lives up to its name. It is an excellent companion for Affiliate Millions. Much of the advice can be adapted for the purposes of affiliate marketing.

    For those who like to thoroughly research a business before jumping in, if you really want to understand search marketing, another excellent book is "Winning Results with Google AdWords" by Andrew Goodman. Goodman is a prominent authority. After you read his book, Ultimate Guide, Affiliate Millions, along with Google's own help screens and guides, you will practically be an expert.

    3 out of 5 stars Navigate the Adwords Jungle!.......2007-09-21

    If you've ever used Google Adwords, you know how tricky it can be to really do it right. This guidebook is a great tool to help you find your way, and it can be especially helpful if you're a non-techie. Before you sink money into Google Adwords, get this book and save yourself some time, money and headaches!

    However if any of Carters trading systems where all that great I'm sure he would not be selling a book he would be making a living trading and him and Warren Buffet would be drinking buddies think about it. Take his Scalper Buys and Scalpers Sells technique maybe it worked in 2005 before the volitility jumped up but I'll bet it won't work now.

    2 out of 5 stars Too many incongruences.......2007-10-08

    I have just bought this book. Went to Chapter 8 and study it deeply. I challenge anyone to understand the strategy explained as there are many incongruence between what explained and the example charts. How can a trading book be confusing?

    Do not trust my opinion? I challenge anyone to find chapter eight congruent. I challenge anyone.

    Suggestion: do not buy this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-09-30

    Well rounded book on trading for people to gain an overview of all markets. The best ones like this are by those who actually trade.
    This is one of the first I read as a beginner, where some of the things were over my head but still held a lot of interest. Re-reading it now brings out the full benefit. Great book.

    5 out of 5 stars Anyone knocking this book does not trade daily........2007-09-27

    When I first heard the reviews of John Carter's Book ,I was a bit confused. Some people said the book was great, some said it sucks. Then I bought the book and read it. This book is a very good look at trading from top to bottom and in the middle. The people that are dogging this book must not trade at all period. These are very simple and easy strategies to follow with examples to support. PLEASE BACKTEST and USE TIGHTER STOPS, because the guy is either filthy rich or got balls of steel....I am sure Carter did not put a lot of his losers in the book but he did put some. I find it sad that people dog this guy so much. Yeah, he is greedy..very greedy, but his products are what they are, GOOD. My only complaint is his DVD's are 2400.00 and his open software indicators are copied from the Tradestation library and are 1600.00. ALL in all he has a great book and a good website with a free trial that is only 14 bucks. He has some excel downloads worth that alone. Buy this book if you want to day trade or get a better perspective of other succesful traders. You will learn a lot. Try to buy his other products 2nd hand they are too HIGH. If the guy's products wasn't so high he would be a lot more popular and respected. He has been called a snake oil salesman. He is not that,he is just a greedy salesman and a helluva trader... Great Book on trading!!!!!!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Great Read.......2007-09-08

    ASP.NET 2.0 Programming: Problem Design Solution is aimed at describing, designing, and implementing a site much like the ones you’re probably working on or will be soon, while taking the opportunity to introduce and explain many of the new features that the new great ASP.NET 2.0 framework offers. Difficult problems are addressed head-on so you'll be ready for most of the problems you’ll typically face when writing a modern website, and have one or more solutions ready for them.

    Unlike many other ASP.NET books that show examples for individual pages or features, the example in this book is an integrated end-to-end site (written in C#). The entire book and site has been written specifically for ASP.NET 2.0, to use the ASP.NET 2.0 features wherever they make sense.

    The end-result is a website which features a layout with user-selectable themes, a membership system, a content management system for publishing and syndicating articles and photos, polls, mailing lists, forums, an e-commerce store with support for real-time credit card processing, homepage personalization, and localization. The book leads the reader through development of a site with:

    Administration of a site will be covered including: In building these site features, you'll learn these new ASP.NET 2.0 features:

    This book is also available as part of the 5-book ASP.NET 2.0 Wrox Box (ISBN: 0-470-11757-5). This 5-book set includes:

    4 out of 5 stars Nice overview of how to implement 2.0 features........2007-10-06

    Overall, I think the book was a good investment and well worth the read. It lives up to everything that the title implies. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is that the links for downloading the code have been broken since I got the book (several weeks now). It would be very helpful to have the project open and be able to reference the code directly rather that having to page back to revisit code that has already been covered, but is now being referenced as the project progresses.

    4 out of 5 stars A great idea, a very good implementation.......2007-09-08

    When I ran across the 1.1 version of this book, I had hoped there would be an update for 2.0. I love the idea of the book - a complete project run from beginning to end.

    Marco's explanations and examples generally very good and I feel like he accomplished what it looks like he set out to do with the book. The project used in the book is a solid foundation for learning about ASP.Net 2.0 covering a wide range of topics.

    Generally speaking, this book has gotten a lot of use, whether looking for something specific that Marco did, an idea on how I might do something, or comparing notes on my approach vs the one in the book.

    I am giving the book 4 stars (instead of 5) simply because I think he could have covered a couple of things in a little more depth and still kept the flow and feel of the book overall.

    4 out of 5 stars Good ASP.NET book but not for beginners.......2007-08-25

    The title of this book should be *Advanced* ASP.NET Problem - Design - Solution. This is not a book for those new to ASP.NET (at the ASP.NET page http://www.asp.net there is a section that includes ASP.NET books divided by beginner and professional; very useful). This book is for the developer who has programmed at least 6 or so websites with ASP.NET and wants to get into creating forums, mailings list, profiling, allowing the user to choose their own themes/skins, etc. The author assumes you have a firm handle on ASP.NET (also on HTML, CSS, Object oriented programming, C#, SQL and SQL stored procedures, n-tier design of web apps, etc) and quickly moves into advanced programming with ASP.NET. I would rate this book highly because it does cover a lot; it's just not practical for beginners or even intermediate level ASP.NET developers.

    1 out of 5 stars Good reviews - bad book.......2007-07-31

    I bought this book because of the rave reviews. Once I began to read, however, I found it disappointing. Explanation and examples are vague and/or incomplete. The author should be forced to take a basic writing course before he is allowed to write anything more then a letter. Shame on the editors for letting this type of document out under the guise of instruction.

    5 out of 5 stars The best book about Asp .Net 2.0.......2007-07-07

    Some months ago Giuseppe Dimauro advised me about this book, saying that it is a relly good book and i bought it. I I have read it in two weeks.
    What to say about the best book about Asp .Net 2.0 ?
    Everyone will read it will understand something new.

    Thanks Marco.

    5 out of 5 stars The only book you need!.......2007-09-10

    This book teaches that even if you are not the next Amazon, ebay, or Google, you can still make a million on the internet. You just need to find a niche that is underserved.

    I purchased "Starting an Online Business for Dummies" and the reviews were mixed. In someone's reviews, they mentioned this book and said it was much better. They suggested buying this book instead of the Dummies book. I took the advice, and am glad I did!

    The book is great because it helps you understand that you don't need to be a billion dollar business to start with. Even small, underserved niche markets can earn a million.

    I highly recommend this book if you are considering an ebusiness. It is well worth the money. I have been talking about this book to many people who have asked to borrow the book. I keep telling them to pick up their own copy because I am still using it as a reference! It is a great book!

    1 out of 5 stars Do no give your money to this Author.......2007-09-08

    If you already know what a "blog" is and you're fully proficient in searching the internet with google or yahoo, you're probably too sophisticated for this book. Fox's target are people with very little education (He introduces us at one point to the fancy MBA word, "business plan"). Fox also uses the website he started for his wife and mother as case studies. I guess I should have known better. After all, it is called 'Internet Riches" and has a picture of some guy driving in a brand new convertible on the cover.

    5 out of 5 stars Great for newbies and everyone.......2007-07-12

    Cheryl Russell is articulate and specific in walking a person through the ropes of eBay from square one. She teaches how to do business, not just randomly sell (or try to sell) products. Her book covers details of recordkeeping and how to really grow a large, successful business. She methodically teaches the steps to success and helps the reader see the big picture of growing a business from scratch. Excellent resource!

    5 out of 5 stars Great referance for eBay Sellers.......2007-06-14

    a Gotta Have book if you are planning on starting an eBay business in your home. also a great reference for the experienced eBayer.

    4 out of 5 stars Helpful for sure..........2007-05-08

    ...but not really anything I didn't already know, and I still consider myself to be a bit of a n00b. But the book does contain some good ideas.

    If you are a complete newbie to eBay, this book could pretty much be essential.

    5 out of 5 stars wonderful book!!.......2007-02-22

    great book! valuable resource, packed with accurate, up to date information on building a business with ebay. this is an interesting read-not at all boring. written for a newbie to ebay, but still an important tool for those with more ebay experience. worth the purchase price. this book has definitely given me important information on getting a store of my own-up and running. buy this book! shannontk

    5 out of 5 stars Do Yourself a Favor and Read This Book.......2007-02-09

    Let me tell you why this book is important:

    1. Listing fees on ebay can eat you alive if you don't pay attention.
    2. Security risks are high on ebay,as its success has brought every low-life in the world into its realm.
    3. If you want to make a bunch of money buying and selling goods, ebay is a place to do it.

    That said, I believe this book provides as good of an overview of the ebay business as any.

    You may also want to read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth" by Phillip Collinsworth.
