Lars over at Webanalyst.info send me and probably a few others a question about who I consider to be the best internet marketer. To answer this it is pretty difficult, but here are my top picks:
1. Bob Parson from Godaddy.com
Who hasn’t heard of Godaddy? It is a household name and even that I have only 2-3 domains with them, they always come up with a great upsell/after sale email- and phone campaign.
2. Markus from PlentyoffFish.com
Markus started his free dating site Plentyofffish.com only a few years ago. He grew his site as a one man show (not sure if this is true!) to one if not the biggest dating site in the world. With more than $1million in monthly Adsense revenues, he still is “attacking” the big dating sites like Match or Eharmony.
3. Craig Newmark from Craigslist
I estimated the Craigslist revenues 2 years ago at about $40-70 million/year. Still Craig remains as the poor “David” who is fighting all the big Goliaths.
Who do you consider the best internet marketer?

That’s an interesting question, and one I would be hard-pressed to answer. I guess it depends on your results, how are we evaluating them?
The other thing I want to mention is that Craig Newmark will actually be on BlogTalkRadio’s show InDaNo Monday, August 27 at 10ET http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=48086. Your readers and you can question him yourself to get to the bottom of your question. It’s a call-in show, streaming live from the ‘net and archived immediately after. Hope to see you there.
Besides, who could forget most of the GoDaddy commercials?
