Online marketing, also known as online advertising, Internet advertising, digital advertising, or web advertising, is a form of marketing and advertising which uses the Internet to deliver promotional marketing messages to consumers.[1] When software is used to do the purchasing, it is known as programmatic advertising. Online advertising includes email marketing, search engine marketing (SEM), social media marketing, many types of display advertising (including web banner advertising), and mobile advertising.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Search engine marketing, or SEM, is designed to increase a website's visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). Search engines provide sponsored results and organic results based on a web searcher's query. Search engines often employ visual cues to differentiate sponsored results from organic results.[2] Search engine marketing includes all of an advertiser's actions to make a website's listing more prominent for topical keywords. The primary reason behind the rising popularity of Search Engine Marketing has been Google.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search engine optimization, or SEO, attempts to improve a website's organic search rankings in SERPs by increasing the website content's relevance to search terms.[3] Search engines regularly update their algorithms to penalize poor quality sites that try to game their rankings, making optimization a moving target for advertisers. Many vendors offer SEO services.

Social Media Marketing (SMM)

Social media marketing is commercial promotion conducted through social media websites. Many companies promote their products by posting frequent updates and providing special offers through their social media profiles.[4] Videos, interactive quizzes, and sponsored posts are all a part of this operation. Usually, these ads are found on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.[5]

Online Classified Advertising

Online classified advertising is advertising posted online in a categorical listing of specific products or services. Examples include online job boards, online real estate listings, automotive listings, online yellow pages, and online auction-based listings.[6] Craigslist and eBay are two prominent providers of online classified listings.

Online Marketing Platform

An online marketing platform (OMP) is an integrated web-based platform that combines the benefits of a business directory, local search engine, search engine optimization (SEO) tool, customer relationship management (CRM) package, and content management system (CMS). eBay and Amazon are used as online marketing and logistics management platforms. On Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and other Social Media, retail online marketing is also used.[7] Online business marketing platforms such as Marketo, MarketBright, and Pardot have been bought by major IT companies.
