Performance Marketing for Professionals

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The sources are mainly the authors or colleagues. Eg Search Engine Journal, used more than once, has as its deputy managing editor Murray Newlands.[1]. This[2] is by a colleague. Growmap[3] is some sort of marketing blog. [http://www.bloggingtips.com/2013/09/25/successful-marketing-centrifuge-business-success/ is by the other author. The entire article reads like a promotional piece. Online Marketing: A User’s Manual by the same author is no better and is also clearly promotional.

Delete Sources are not very good as noted by nom they are not clearly independent of the subject and/or not reliable publications. Of course a book on Internet Marketing will have its own Wikipedia page so we need to be particularly mindful that it meets WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 19:34, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Not notable according to WP:BKCRIT The book has not been "the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book."
