Online marketing is defined as the process of promoting a company’s product or service using the internet. It is also widely known as e-marketing, I-marketing, web marketing and internet marketing.
Strategies included in internet marketing are web linking, online display advertising, use of search engine optimization or SEO marketing, use of web based banner ads, pay per click advertising, txt or video blogging and social network advertising.
