YOUR WEB SITE IS COSTING YOU MONEY. IT'S ALSO FILLED WITH SIMPLE MISTAKES THAT TURN OFF VISITORS BEFORE THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO BECOME CUSTOMERS. According to marketing guru Seth Godin, a web site visitor is a lot like a monkey looking for one thing: a banana. If that banana isn't easy to see and easy to get, your visitor is gone with a quick click on the "Back" button. In this supremely practical, cut-to-the-chase book, Godin identifies what it takes to create web sites that satisfy visitors and keep them coming back for more.

This is a great book for designing web sites that are easy to use. There's really not much to read, Seth Godin took screenshots of websites with before/after and good/bad examples of the techniques he discusses. After applying some of the techniques included in this book, I have had a far greater response to my own web marketing efforts. ( )

I was disappointed by this book. I worship the ground Seth Godin walks on usually, but this book felt like a shameless cash project. For a full price book it was a ridiculously short 100 pages, half of which were screenshots and many of the rest half empty. It took me only about an hour to read. The things it talks about are extremely obvious and lacking Godin's usual style. As a free ebook, I'd have recommended it highly, as a 7quid book, it's embarassing. ( )

This is a very readable book, with many hints on how to improve a website. Primarily, the advice is more marketing and promotion oriented. ( )
