I would add Dean Jackson to the list. Because he rarely speaks at Internet marketing conferences and doesn’t write articles and books on the subject, he’s not well known. However, the success of the many Internet marketing programs he creates for himself and his clients is spectacular.
I would also add Nick Usborne to the list; mainly for his influence in shifting the thinking about Internet marketing (especially among corporate marketing managers) from technology and graphics to copy and messaging.
And what about Bob Bly? Didn’t you co-author one of the first books on Internet direct-response — “Internet Direct Mail”?
But I think the real Internet superstars those that never lived to a web page or email. I’m talking, of course, about John Cables, Robert Collier and other direct marketing pioneers who first mapped out the guidelines and formulas for creating successful promotions. Many, if not all, of their insights still hold true today on the Web.

Allow me to correct my last paragraph…

I’ll second Nick Usborne. He can take Yanik’s second spot 😉
But I’ll add that right now the guy I’m watching closest is Hugh McLeod. I think he’s onto something.
July 30th, 2005 at 10:04 am
I would include Matt Furey.

Hi Bob,
I think poles like this are interesting. But I almost think a more productive way to look at it is in terms of areas.
For example, if you’re talking about email marketing, you have to include people who are setting trends like David at doubleyourdating.com and matt at mattfurey.com
If you’re talking about multi-media, you have Mike Stewart at internetaudioguy.com and you have Rick at instantaudio.com. If you’re talking about sales letters, you gotta have Fortin (successdoctor.com) on the list, Garfinkel, and others.
If you’re talking about helping newbies get started, Ed Dale’s thirtdaychallenge.com is ground breaking.
If you’re talking about seminars, then you have The Big Seminar (Armand) and you
have Yanik’s groundbreaking stuff.
If we’re talking ppc, then you have Perry Marshall and others. If you’re talking SEO, you have Michael Campbell, Kurt (the blog bomb guy), Pierce and many others.
Man, this thing we call Internet marketing is such an involved beast that there
are many faucets to it and no single person can ethically claim to be an expert in
everything. Although on 4 hours sleep a night (literally) Pierce is doing a heck of a job! Personally, I sleep a LOT more than that.
Anyway, to see who has broken through the noise in a general way, is also a
revealing thing.
There are so many players who specialize in different niches that the market
is fragmented and is fragmenting more.
Best wishes,
Marlon Sanders

You’ve got a great list here and all of the mentioned marketers have had success in many ways. Many of the best internet marketers are unknown, and they will keep it that way. Most of these guys are marketers to marketers and that market is miniscule compared to many, many markets.
BTW – Marlon, it looks like you’re still using a voice to text software. You have to edit, or you’ll end up with incoherent sentences and miscues like ” poles ” instead of ” polls “. Also, last names only are not PC and don’t help the uninitiated, as the don’t know Pierce from pierce.
Peace.

Yanik’s on the list twice, and Ralph Wilson’s not on there at all.

August 14th, 2005 at 11:58 am
I would second Dr. Ralph Wilson, and add Ken Evoy as well as the Eisenberg brothers (www.grokdotcom.com)
August 22nd, 2005 at 3:02 am
Yes Bob,
You left out one of the Largest and first internet gurus online…
Tom Prendergass.

…add Andrew Palmer. His work on Bill Bonner’s Daily Reckoning has changed internet marketing. http://www.dailyreckoning.com The web site needs help but no one does better email marketing.
August 28th, 2005 at 2:20 pm
I’ll second Andrew Palmer. The Agora Media Network is the most fully executed new media content marketing model we’ve found. And with $110 million in 2005 online sales, they are second only to the WSJ Media Network on our Mequoda 500 (a working list of America’s Top New Media Networks based on revenues). Very impressive given the relative size of the two organizations.
BTW: If anyone has a candidate for our list, drop me an email via the new Mequoda Cafe Daily website.
Keep up the great work,
Don Nicholas

Well, if for nothing other than the million dollars in one day stunt… I’d have to throw John Reese into the ring.
September 7th, 2005 at 11:33 am
You forgot Brock Felt. He is one of the top, but he works in the background most of the itime so you don’t hear about him to much but beleave me he is one of the best if not the best
September 12th, 2005 at 3:13 am
Mark Joyner
Brad Fallon
Ken McCarthy
Allan Bechtold
Bill Glazier
Gary Halbert…because he is the alpha shit weasel
among the many other(s)
September 20th, 2005 at 2:11 am
Corey Rudl – because you refer to “internet” – Corey “rest in peace” should out shine the rest. He did it the old fashion way, he earned it.
November 21st, 2005 at 4:56 pm
I vote for Joe V.
December 5th, 2005 at 6:32 pm
I would add John Forde, and it’s copywriter’s roundtable

I think you have put together a very good list of Internet Marketer’s and it’s good to see the comments of others who are in the business.
I would nominate David Vallieries for your list as well.

I would add John Spagnuolo, Vice President of the New Media Institute…. http://www.newmedia.org

I’d advise removing Don Nicholas from the list. He is nothing more than a fraud, a huckster masquerading as an expert in the internet marketing/info publishing space.

I’d like to add Jimmy D. Brown to the list. This guy over-delivers.
Alice Seba and Kelly McKausey as well – well known in the work at home mom circles.

It is the process of promoting business or brand and its product over the internet using the tools that help drive traffic, leads and sales. They refer to advertising and marketing efforts that use the Web and email to drive direct sales.private amsterdam walking tours

I agree with the poster above who pointed out that blogs, like other communications vehicles (like newspapers and direct mail) are just one of the many ways we reach out to our audiences to tell them about something — an idea, a product, a service, whatever. And in some fashion encourage/hope they’ll buy it. https://frenchiespugpuppy.com
