The Web and email have opened up new avenues for businesses to market to both current, and potential, customers and clients. While it can come in many different forms, such as display advertising or social media marketing, the core of Internet marketing is to try and build brand awareness and attract new consumers via the Internet.
With more and more consumers increasing their time online, businesses that don't work at trying to target them there are only hurting their bottom line. Research shows, however, that most businesses aren't neglecting their online shoppers. Internet marketing is quickly surpassing all other forms marketing and advertising, with it projected to account for a quarter of the average business's marketing budget within the next 2 years.

Similar to affiliate marketing, display advertising involves placing banner ads on other websites that have visitors who likely to be interested in the business's products or services. The ads can range in size and include video and audio.
