AWSOME BOOK!
I've read all of The New Adventures OF Mary-Kate and Ashley, and this was definetly the best! It was sooo exciting, and every clue made you think harder.

Persuasive Online Copywriting: How to Take Your Words to the Bank

Helpful --- But Don't Expect Results.
This is a well written book and it is one that I recommend to folks who want the basics of writing for the web. Writing Web site copy is hard work and anything that gives you any help at all is welcome.

But I noticed that some of the people mentioned in the book as being helped by the authors or being in some way associated with the authors had sites that didn't apply the rules and tips and teachings that are offered in this book. Yet they have reviews here and in the book. Or some do.

I also ran the "we we test" on their sites that is on the author's site and all scored very low. So it appears that the authors were able to get some good recommendations and reviews but not necessarily by people who adhere to their philosophy.

Having said that, I think this is well worth the read. Don't expect the conversions that the authors seem to think their suggestions will provide. Unfortunately, conversions are much more difficult to get than by applying the advice in this book.

I also found it amusing that the author adheres to the concept of using lots of hyperlinks in the main part of your site (the center) and in his book, Net Words by Nick Usborne, Nice says that's not a good idea at all; that it causes you to lose people. Why is this amusing? Nick works with Future Now as a strategic partner. (Future Now is the site associated with the author of this book.) Future Now does, at least, follow it's own rules. It has lots of hyperlinks on it's page. It has useful tools and a high ranking in the search engines.

So I'm not sure how much stock you can put in either theory or in either book.

The information in the book will, however, be very helpful to those who are writing copy for their own sites or that of others. I just don't think you should believe everything you will read in the book as it all simply doesn't work. Some of it does and for that information, the book is useful.

When copywriters, or for that matter anyone in business, writes a book, it is with the intention of building their credibility and getting more business. And that's fine. But the advice they give sometimes has to be taken with a grain of salt. And the people who recommend the book on the back cover are often folks who write books for the same reason. So you might say they're doing each other a favor.

The proof is in whether or not what you read in a book works. I tested the advice in this book and find it lacking. But I'm in need of more in-depth and realistic offerings. To someone who simply wants help writing their Web site, this is an excellent book. Just don't expect the results that the book, reviewers and those who recommend it seem to think you'll get.

Will Open (and Blow) Your Mind - A Must Read
This gem of a book offers the most comprehensive (and immediately useable) information on "how to make your website profitable" in the fewest amount of pages that I have yet seen.

As a bonus, it is priced a fraction of most of the available information on this subject. I've paid hundreds of dollars for information that was not nearly as useable as this. (OK I admit I'm a marketing information junkie)

I have purchased dozens of products (printed and ebooks) within the last year alone on this subject. Most of the others talk about search engine tricks, pop-ups, hard sell copy, and basically manipulating your site visitor into doing what you want.

Manipulation may work a little in the short run, but is self defeating in the long run.

This book is much smarter than that. It is in a whole different league.

This book teaches what is really important to long term profits. That is, engaging your visitors and making sure your site is offering them exactly what THEY want.

It shows you how to write extremely effective copy. It also tells you how to discover exactly what your customers are asking you to provide them by watching your stats and web logs.

The basic premise of this book is that without a high conversion ratio, there is no point in buying more traffic. It is much more cost effective to use the techniques contained in this book to increase your conversions than to chase traffic. That comes later. They make a valid point that most folks are doing this backwards.

This book is about way more than just copywriting, by the way. It does an excellent job of enlightening you to many useability factors that may be hurting your sales.

I can't imagine anyone who manages a website and uses even a small percentage of the wisdom contained within not getting a hundred times their investment back.

In conclusion, just buy it and read it. You can not go wrong with this book.

Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!
This book opened doors to my imagination. My mind sprung wells so deep that I could not help but drink. This book should be recommended to any marketer who would like to persuade. It is deeper and more valuable than any other book about the Internet. It will explain how to set your web page in order and keep visitors clicking until they become repeat buyers. This book is recommended for anyone who would like to increase their conversion rate!

This was a good book.
Lexie can't figure out what to do in her Girl Scout Talent Show, and she's in trouble: her friends want to know what she's going to do. Faith, Lexie's older sister, scoffs her all the time and is trying to hang out with popular people. Lexie tries to be in the Talent Show with her greatest talent and tries to solve the Faith problem. I think that this is an okay book.

Best Book Ever!
Leave it to Lexie is a terrific book for young readers. It was about a 4th grader named Lexie who goes through the problems and fascinations of life. This book was really funny! I liked it because I couldn't put it down!

Grossly gruesome gags
Q: What do Mummies eat for breakfast? A: Shrouded wheat.

This is just one of the grossly gruesome gags you'll encounter in this compendium of mummy humor. The riddles rely heavily on puns and slightly on a working knowledge of ancient Egyptian burial practices.

The illustrations are large, bright and cartoony with lots of clever details that kids will love to pore over. They'll also love committing these riddles to memory and trying them out on parents during a long car trip.

Q: What did the doctor tell the little mummy at her checkup? A: You grue-some!

Get it? Bwa ha ha ha ha.

mummy riddles awsome
haha! this book is sooo funnie. I recomend this book to third graders because i read it to my little third grade brother. He was in stiches he was laughing so much. Even my sixth grade teacher was laughing. I think this is my favorite picture book of all time.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are in another great adventure!
This is a really good book. I really love the twins, though. But enev if you don't, I'm sure you will enjoy the great mystery and suspence that leaves you turning the pages until the 'Trenchcoat Twins' solve the case. I would reccommend this book to anyone who loes the girls, and/OR loves great mysteries. it took me about 45-60 minutes to read. Happy reading wishes!

The Best!
I have to admit I love all of Mary-Kate and Ashleys New Adventure books but this one would be my all time favorite. It was also my first Mary-Kate and Ashley book ever. It is good and they try to find who kidnapped the princess or something like that. Sorry I have not read the book in a while so I only can remember a little about it. But over all it is pretty good.

Nichole's review to Miss Wunder, October 28,1999
I think the book was well written because the plot was not obvious and it made me think real hard about who could have committed the crime of stealing the doll. Mary-Kate and Ashley are very good actresses and I enjoy them both in my reading and on the screen. I have given this a five star rating because this is a very good mystery and held my interest.

This book was OK. It had good jokes and bad ones.
You would really have to think to "get" some of these jokes. Some are cute, others are adorable, some are hilarious and others- well they just don't make a lot of sense. There are a variety of jokes though! There is even a map with city puns and state puns. However, I think jokes are difficult to write and I think these were pretty good.

this book is great!!
i love joke books and i love cats and dogs. it is a great book!!
