I can't believe this got published !.......2002-05-13

This is really just a brochure for the financial planners that are profiled. What a waste.

Good reference.......2000-06-03

I just started my financial practice and found this book to be a big help... Highly recommended for the beginer

Don't waste your money on this one..........1998-11-29

This book is mediocre at best for professionals who know nothing about the business--there are much better ones out there. While the information in this book seems accurate, it was very shabbily put together. Don't waste your money on this one.

A must read for any financial advisor/wealth manager........1997-05-03

This is a well laid out book, with great advice and tips for the beginner and expert. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Darin Schnall CFP,CPA/PF

A must for investment & related professionals, vendors, etal.......1997-03-16

Extraordinary! I've just finished reading this book and it could only have been written by Mary Rowland - she's the best! It's fun, insightful, thoughtful, educational and chock full of useful information. Suffice it to say that anyone purporting to be a financial advisor should find a new career if they don't read this book. The list of readers shouldn't stop with the investment advisor. Vendors, fund and portfolio managers, wholesalers, regulators and related professionals would do well to have a copy of their own

Customer Reviews:

Physician - Heal Thyself.......2001-05-11

Financial advisors and professional insurance agents routinely make recommendations to clients regarding risk management. Whether it be on the subjects of taxes, investments, disability, death, etc., we know that our clients cannot reasonably expect to reach their goals without balancing risk and return. We have spent years gaining the proper education and developing our skills in order to do this. Yet, all too often we don't apply the same analysis and principles of risk management in our own world.

"Protecting Your Practice" is a MUST read for anyone who is serious about maintaining high ethical standards and full compliance with the myriad of regulations that impact the financial planning profession. From examples to checklists to tips on proper E&O coverage, this book delivers!

An Essential Purchase.......2000-03-05

Katherine Vessenes offers practical suggestions for financial advisors that will provide a professional liability shield that is essential.

Book Description

This book provides theoretical and methodological advances in specification and estimation of spatial econometric models, state-of-the-art information on the development of tools and software, and various applications. It introduces new tests and estimators for spatial regression models, including discrete choice and simultaneous equation models. The performance of techniques is demonstrated through simulation results and a wide array of applications related to economic growth, international trade, knowledge externalities, population-employment dynamics, urban crime, land use, and environmental issues. Newly developed software and programming tools are introduced. World-renowned experts in spatial statistics and spatial econometrics present the cutting edge of this field of research. The volume is relevant for academics with a theoretical interest in spatial statistics and econometrics and for practitioners looking for modern, up-to-date techniques to analyse spatial data.

Book Description

Dependency theory is currently being challenged by a fresh application of classic Marxist principles combined with thinking from Marxist structuralism. The result is a body of work that emphasizes the importance of the mode of production rather than markets or exchange relations. Essays from opposing viewpoints have been collected in this volume to study the Third World and discuss the progressive or regressive role of capitalism in developing countries -- whether production in them is capitalist or pre-capitalist, and re-emphasize the importance of class relations in development. As a review of the complex theoretical issues involved and the intellectual history behind them, the book has much to offer both specialists and students.

Yet another spin to the clueless titles.......2004-03-21

Like a formulaic layout and writing style, Jim and company continues to write title after title to attempt to "dominate" bookstores, but sadly, the content is more form than function, and shows the hollowness of the content. Still, if you are a book designer, this serves as a good example of layouts.

Solid overview.......2004-02-04

A solid overview of the advertising industry. Gives some answers to questions students and people just getting into the business won;t find anywhere else. However, the book is pretty thin and small considering the price.

This powerful book spells out proven techniques that help you:

- Increase your Web traffic easily and quickly
- Save time and money associated with Web promotion
- Reach out to a larger, more targeted audience

- Earn the fame and fortune you deserve

Your Web site can become as popular as the one you envy when you use 101 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR WEB TRAFFIC to get it noticed, listed, awarded, and visited by the millions of users on the Internet. You will learn how to bring them to your site and keep them coming back!

Customer Reviews:

It worked for me.......2005-10-26

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and applying the techniques in this well researched book. They can be broken down into three categories (1) New techniques: social networking, blogging, RSS, etc. (2) Popular techniques: search engine optimization, email marketing, viral marketing. (3) Outdated techniques: Usenet posting, autoresponder, etc. Overall, it's a solid book with up-to-date information. Highly recommended.

SEO Hype vs. Solid Web Marketing.......2005-07-05

It's interesting to note that SEO has become such a hype. There is no silver bullet to getting Web traffic as this book has pointed out. SEO techniques are essentially spamming on different levels. Google, Yahoo! and MSN change their algorithm routinely to combat spamming. So any technique that you use would give you high ranking for a while, then your site ranking would disappear. I like this book because it presents a wide and effective approach. Quality contents, for example, will give your site a high ranking on the long run. Two reasons: 1. search engines like them, and 2. people like them which prompt them to link and that helps raise ranking in search engines.

101 Ways to Boost Your Web Traffic.......2005-05-24

I recently purchased 3 books through Amazon for the purpose of improving my web site traffic. I purchased this one based on the reviews I read here. Boy! did I get taken.

This book has 10 chapters. Nine of them provide what I would call basic web site common sense and is oriented for an absolute beginner. The one chapter that has a bit of meat in it on how to modify your web pages to improve traffic just doesn't go into enough detail to be really worth while.

If you want a good book, with a lot of meat in it, get "Search Engine Optimization for Dummies." You get a great deal of information right from the first page and plenty of advice on how to help you.

worth every penny.......2004-07-27

great book for everyone in the field. wealth of information and resources on a wide range of topics. well written. this book keeps you interested all the way to the end as the author shares many creative ways to market to your desired audience. a must have, you will not regret this purchase.

Solid Advice.......2004-07-26

This book is best described as a do-it-yourself guide. Instead of paying someone else thousands of dollars, I'm able to get many more leads after applying just some of the techniques in the book. I find the book easy to understand and use. There is a tendency to think the techniques are too simple to be useful. The key, however, is to test them out. The ones that produce great results are usually the ones that appear to be simple.

101 Ways has helped me optimize my Web pages in a significant way. The advice on the use of Meta tags is a good example. I learn that most global search engines not longer use them. However, for international and intranet search engines, I will still need to set up web pages with meta tags. Solid advice like this is what motivates me to come back and write a good review for the book. So get it, use it, and profit by it!

Book Description

This book explains how to apply the most modern systems engineering modeling approaches not only to products, processes and business enterprises, but also to the description of the process of systems engineering. The result is an easily understood description of the systems engineering process which can be tailored to the many methodologies, notations and tools that compete for adoption. The book provides an engineering basis for: specification of near-optimal products and processes; tailoring the systems engineering process to commercial or aerospace projects; selection of a specific methodlogy and notation; selection and development of tools for automation; and training students in a systems development disciplines.
