About the Christian Articles Archive, they write, "Pastor Wilson intends that these works might offer personal
inspiration, serve as public speaking illustrations.... Bear in mind, this archive represents one man's perspective (a

I have a confession to make. I take Ralph Wilson's (who I affectionately refer to as Dr. Ralph) Web Marketing Information Center for granted. It's a tremendous site and resource -- with links
to more than 300 marketing-related articles. But its real value
is in the insights written by Dr. Ralph himself, who has a personal
and practical grasp of successful online marketing tactics. It's
a site that will take several visits -- and every one you make
will be well worth it. -- Charles Sayer, editor of Who's Marketing Online
