Peter Kent

I have been working with computers since 1979, with software development teams since 1981, online since 1984, and on the Internet since 1993. I’ve written more books about the Internet than perhaps any other author, on this or any other planet, and have extensive experience in almost every area of online business, from building ecommerce sites to PPC advertising, from search-engine optimization to “community” and “social” marketing. Contact me if you need help building your online strategy.

My online-business experience spans more than a quarter of a century.

I’ve worked in almost every area: Web-site construction, search-engine optimization, online advertising (in particular Pay Per Click advertising), affiliate marketing, social-networking or community marketing, online PR, “re-commerce” and Amazon FBA, and much more. I started a dotcom, an e-business service provider, funded by one of the world’s largest Venture Capital firms. I was VP of Web Solutions for a national ISP, and VP of marketing for a Web-Applications Development firm. And in recent years I’ve provided consulting services to Amazon, TowerRecords.com, Lonely Planet, Zillow, and literally hundreds of small and medium businesses struggling to succeed online. See here for information about my e-commerce consulting services.

I’ve written and presented a Udemy Course on SEO, & three Lynda.com video courses:

Analyzing Your Website to Improve SEO – SEO: Link Building in Depth – Selling on the Amazon Marketplace

Lynda.com is the world’s top subscription-based, web-served, video training service, ranked by Inc. Magazine as the nation’s fastest growing education company. I’ve also done a fair bit of public speaking over the years, dozens of presentations at events such as the London Book Fair, the International Conference on E-Government in Tripoli, the Publisher’s Marketing Association, the Rockies Venture Club, the International Digital Publisher’s Forum, and many more. Also, more than 100 radio-show “appearances.” For more information on my public speaking, see here.
