Helpful bookReviewed by Learn From Reading, 2010-02-17
I bought this book because I was assigned the task of researching websites in advance of revising my company's existing site. I didn't know a single thing about websites, so I bought a couple of books that sounded promising. This one far exceeded the other one I bought, for content, clarity and good writing. While I'm not looking to make a website for myself, and my company already has a web presence, I still learned a lot of the basics from this book, which is just what I was after. It doesn't cover every single thing, but it's pretty comprehensive. After reading it, I feel I would be able to start up a website on my own, if I wanted to.
Only Honest Review Here - DO NOT BUYReviewed by Chuong Nguyen, 2010-01-20
Before purchasing this book, I was skeptical of all the 100%
glowing reviews, and went on a mission to my local bookstores to
peruse this book before making the purchase on Amazon. My many
local different bookstores did not stock "I've Got A Domain Name:
Now What?" I decided to take the plunge anyways, and bought it on
Amazon. I just received this book about half an hour ago, and now I
realize why local bookstores don't stock this 'book':
It's a pamphlet.
The author and the people they contracted to do the reviews here on
Amazon should be ashamed. At 116 pages, in what looks like huge 24
point font, there's barely any material here. There's as much
information in here as there is on one of About(.)com 's web pages,
and less current. There's probably more text on the disclaimer page
of a commercial drug in your magazine than in this entire book. And
as for the content? Useless, irrelevant. When reading the title,
you would think this book would show you all the ins and outs of
making and promoting a website for business. Nope -- look at just a
few examples of WHOLE CHAPTERS for this book:
- CH. 1: Understanding the Domain Name System ; -- Okay, I don't
know about you, but I figure someone who already has a Domain Name
(as the book's title would imply) already understands this system,
otherwise they would not already have a domain name. Topic in this
'chapter': "Choosing a Domain Name" (ARE YOU SERIOUS? The book is
called "I've Got a Domain Name: Now What?"... and you have this
topic??)
- CH. 2: Registering a Domain ; -- Wow. Getting past the obvious
reason why this shouldn't even be in this 'book', it pretty much
lays out what the start pages of GoDaddy's ordering process would
look like. Only, the writing in this book is even more technical
and confusing.
I was going to actually post a video of this review, and let Amazon
shoppers know how little is in this 'book'. But I'm currently in my
pajamas, and this drivel I ordered is not worth the effort. I also
was going to really tear into this 'book' in detail, but it's just
frustrating to flip through the half empty pages. The author, Jean
Bedord, should really be ashamed. How could you possibly charge
twenty dollars (the MSRP on the back flap is 19.99) for a pamphlet?
A small free booklet at your local Small Business Administration
has more information than this pamphlet.
Please use the Amazon's Look Inside feature for this book, and look
through the first few pages. That's it. You've pretty much seen
half of this 'book'. The table of contents itself should tell you
that there isn't enough here to fill a decent flyer, let alone
booklet. If anyone else has bought or read through this, please
post your honest review. We have to let people know that they
should not waste their time here, and let us counter all the 5-star
'reviews' that Jean Bedord has paid for. I thought this would help
me out, since I have some Dreamweaver books, a few entrepreneurial
books on start up businesses, and a few more on actual website
design. This book covers nothing. It describes what a domain is.
That's it. Go to the wikipedia page for "Domain" and you will find
ten times more useful information than you will in this book.
Outstanding book for getting startedReviewed by Theresa Shafer, 2009-06-27
I've Got a Domain Name--Now What???: A Practical Guide to Building a Website and Web Presence is a short book packed with solid advice on building your website. Jean Bedord shares her knowledge about creating websites that are "findable" by search engines. She begins at the basics, clearly explaining how "titles", "keywords" and "webpages" all fit together. My favorite part of I've Got a Domain Name--Now What???: A Practical Guide to Building a Website and Web Presence is that Bedord provides many detailed examples. Although some of the screenshots' type font is too small. I've Got a Domain Name--Now What???: A Practical Guide to Building a Website and Web Presence is an outstanding book with scores of tips for getting started.
Great primer for both newbies and those with more indepth
experienceReviewed by Elizabeth Sperling, 2009-03-28
Many more peoeple want to take advantage of having their own
websites but have limited access to learning how to do so. The
internet has too much information, which can be intimidating, but
this book makes what can be an overwhelming process much easier to
digest.
For individuals or companies, web sites have become like a business
card,and this book helps make building a website and manageable
process.
This is also a great resource for job seekers, to add a website to
their arsenal of promotional tools!
