RECOMMENDATION: run to your local book store and buy a copy.” —Richard Hoy, Moderator, Online Advertising Discussion List “Written in a lucid, engaging style and grounded by thorough research and the author’s extensive real world experience, I can’t imagine a better constructed guide to this dynamic and complex field.” —Ken McCarthy, President, E-Media “(Publicity on the Internet) has been my Bible, survival kit, and warm teddy bear of security...Everyone here wants to use it and I won’t let it go!” —Cindy Railing, Account Supervisor, DuDell & Associates, Inc. “I’ve read over 100 books on the Internet over the past four years, and Publicity on the Internet is one of my two favorites!” —David Scott Lewis, President, Strategies & Technology, The Internet Marketing Consultancy “Publicity on the Internet is a really excellent book, one of the best I have seen on any topic relating to the Internet. Not only is it well organized and comprehensive, it is written in a wonderfully clear and readable style. This book is a significant contribu- tion to the literature about communicating on the Internet. I am recommending it to everyone I know, except for our competitors.” —Bob Novick, Impulse Research “Publicity on the Internet is great. I have read the first 4 chapters but I can safely say I enjoy it so much I can hardly stand it.” —Susannah Breslin, Postfeminist Playground “I learned more in the first fifteen minutes I spent with Publicity on the Internet—and not just raw knowledge but directly useful information—than in reading several other Internet business books all the way through. All I can say is, Bravo!” —Shel Horowitz, Author, Grassroots Marketing 71249_O'Keefe_FM 12/14/01 6:24 PM Page iii Complete Guide to Internet Publicity: Creating and Launching Successful Online Campaigns Steve O’Keefe Wiley Computer Publishing John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

To list them all here—or even the major actors—would com- pound that arrogance, allowing me to bask in their brilliance. Yet, intellectual honesty requires that I share the credit while claiming all errors as my own. First and foremost, I would like to thank my former employer, Cliff Kurtzman, at The Tenagra Corporation, and my staff, Christopher Lenois, Skye Wentworth, Gwen- dolynn Gawlick, Jeremy Hart, Mohammed “Taz” Tazehzadeh, Kate Bolin, Susan Diaz- Romero, Jesse Vohs, Tonya Lehner, Deborah Fairchild, and Bill Garnett. Over the past seven years, I have been inspired by a group of mentors and col- leagues who have helped me think through the problems of online communication and pioneer solutions of lasting value. I cannot thank them enough for their guidance, wisdom, and support. They include Jill Ellsworth, Alice Acheson, Glenn Fleishman, Richard Hoy, Daniel Kehoe, Ken McCarthy, Eric Ward, Paul Krupin, Ned Schumann, Janet Attard, Anne Papina, Mike Bayer, David Marriott, Don Bates, Richard Morris, Neil Gordon, Heather Stone, Gary Hardin, and Kelly O’Keefe. I thank my clients for funding my research and providing the examples in this book. I thank all the Web masters, forum hosts, moderators, sysops, and chat hosts who worked with me and gave their venues over to the campaigns described here. And, I thank my fellow authors and instructors who have bravely attempted to describe the workings of this new world for the benefit of all who follow. xi CHAPTER 1 The Power of Internet Publicity Five years ago, I put the finishing touches on my book, Publicity on the Internet, and shipped it off to the publisher. It was a good book. It became a bestseller at Amazon.com. It earned dozens of rave reviews from the media and one bad one. I received hundreds of letters from fans thanking me for writing the book. The ones I cherish most are from colleagues in the trade—marketers, publicists, and public rela- tions professionals—who used the techniques in the book and reported that “it worked.” But that’s not why it was a good book. Publicity on the Internet was a good book because money had nothing to do with it. Don’t get me wrong; I’m an unapologetic capitalist. But I’ve been around the publish- ing profession long enough to know that good books aren’t written for money.

  • If You Let Your Customers Deploy Netscape Navigator, You Will Loose [Sic] Leadership on the Desktop.”
    told them that “if you let your customers deploy Netscape Navigator, you will loose [sic] leadership on the desktop.” F. Excluding Navigator from Important Distribution Channels 143. Decision-makers at Microsoft worried that simply developing its own attractive browser product, pricing it at zero, and promoting it vigorously would not divert enough browser usage from Navigator to neutralize it as a platform. They believed that a comparable browser product offered at no charge would still not be compelling enough to consumers to detract substantially from Navigator’s existing share of browser usage. This belief was due, at least in part, to the fact that Navigator already enjoyed a very large installed base and had become nearly synonymous with the Web in the public’s consciousness. If Microsoft was going to raise Internet Explorer’s share of browser usage and lower Navigator’s share, executives at Microsoft believed they needed to constrict Netscape’s access to the distribution channels that led most efficiently to browser usage. 1. The Importance of the OEM and IAP Channels 144. Very soon after it recognized the need to gain browser usage share at Navigator’s expense, Microsoft identified pre-installation by OEMs and bundling with the proprietary client software of IAPs as the two distribution channels that lead most efficiently to browser usage. Two main reasons explain why these channels are so efficient. First, users must acquire a computer and connect to the Internet before they can browse the Web. Thus, the OEM and IAP channels lead directly to virtually every user of browsing software.

I also heard the same plea on the radio recently. But I started to wonder why are there still Syrian refugees living in tents and why are they still abroad? Why don’t they return to their homeland and rebuild their houses? At least the money given to them by individuals or charities will be beneficial. Syrian refugees are citizens who fled from Syria as the Syrian crisis escalated with the entry of terrorist militias. The number of Syrian refugees abroad is estimated at 7.5 million, while the number of internal- ly-displaced persons in Syria is over six million. Turkey hosts the largest number of refugees, followed by Jordan and Lebanon.

This study looks at a unique defense of same- sex couples as parents, from the children currently being raised by them. Including three prominent texts and seventeen different voices, an analysis was completed to understand what defense strategies children use as advocates for their parents’ right to marriage and to be a family. The method of study included completing a genre criticism through close textual analysis of the texts. In particular, the genre of apologia was studied.
