"I subscribe to more than 50 Web marketing newsletters, all of them free, except Web Commerce Today. If someone were to put a gun to my head and tell me that I could only keep ONE of them, it would be Web Commerce Today. Thanks, Ralph, for your awesome efforts and a truly useful newsletter. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do. I know that my site is more successful because of you." -- Ken Evoy, kevoy@goodbytes.com

Computer Currents Award

We're especially honored this month by the inclusion of Web Commerce Today in Computer Currents' annual Vintage Web Sites of '98 issue (September 8, 1998). WCT received the most text of all of the e-commerce sites mentioned. The text reads,

"Web Commerce Today (www.wilsonweb.com/research/). This large site from a business publisher offers loads of links, articles, and reviews on all topics related to online commerce, from software tools to security standards to accepting digital checks to optimizing sales through Web design. WCT takes the broad view of e-commerce, addressing not only traditional retail but associates programs, auctions, business-to-business selling, and many other sales approaches under the mushrooming "commerce" moniker. The site promotes a $49.95 yearly subscription to the e-mail (text only or HTML) magazine, which also includes access to back issues and the site's Electronic Commerce Research Room, a compendium of links to even more e-commerce articles."
