I Got Published in Website Magazine

I was invited by the editor of Website Magazine, a leading business magazine for web professionals, to write an article about interactive marketing. With 134,000 subscribers, Website Magazine is the nation's largest circulated magazine read by website owners - entrepreneurs, small business owners, management at e-commerce companies, and Web 2.0 aficionados such as bloggers, etc.

The article is titled "A Startup's Guide to Generating Online Ad Revenue" and discusses how new online businesses can monetize their website by selling advertising - a topic of vested interest to the readers. The article appears in the August issue of Website Magazine. If anyone would like to subscribe to the magazine (it's a controlled-circulation trade publication that's free to anyone in the ad business), here is the subscription form.
