Web Marketing For Dummies and Albuquerque author Jan Zimmerman take home the top prize, sponsored by Borders Book Stores and the New Mexico Book Co-op.

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- Web Marketing For Dummies (Wiley) by Jan Zimmerman, of Watermelon Mountain Web Marketing, was recently named the "Best Business Book" of 2007 at the New Mexico Book Awards. Web Marketing For Dummies beat out Mastery At Work: 18 Keys for Achieving Success (Mani Press), The Japanese Money Tree (FT Press) and Self-employed Tax Solutions (Globe Pequot Press) to take home the top prize, sponsored by Borders Book Stores and the New Mexico Book Co-op.

Web Marketing For Dummies breaks down the new world of Web Marketing into explanations and plans of attack; speaking toward inbound link campaigns, specialty search engines, internal banners and what concerns/expectations you should communicate to your developer in regards to your online ambitions. The book also includes coverage of building an effective Web property, search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, e-mail marketing, blogging and podcasting.

"The Web is another tool in the marketer's tool kit, not another universe. Everything business owners know about their audiences and what appeals to them is still valid," said Zimmerman, a professional web marketer with experience working with business-to-business and business-to-consumer clients. "I provide practical tips for businesses of any size or type to maximize the return they'll get by promoting their Web presence. It's about the bottom line."
