Introduction to Internet Marketing

If you have a website to do business online such as selling products or services to consumers (B2C) or other businesses (B2B), Internet marketing must be part of your business plan to ensure success on the Internet.

A professional site cannot do without Internet marketing. The number of competitors already online plus the vast amount of content and information online make it vital for you to get your products or services noticed through all the noise.

Internet marketing consists of various methods. You should employ at least one of them, but I recommend employing all of them. You can find resources to Affiliate Marketing, Search Engine Marketing and Search Engine Optimization on separate Resource Pages of this site.

On this Resource Site can you find general information and resources related to Internet marketing and marketing methods and activities such as email marketing, copywriting, web analytics and tracking, trademarks and legal issues, customer acquisition, customer retention, CRM, web design, website usability and more.
