With the invention of the World Wide Web globalization has gone a lot farther than anyone could predict a mere twenty years ago. Today communication with people all over the world in real time with the aid of only a PC is no longer treated as a gift from above - this is merely the way the world works these days. But who says that it only has to be conversational communication between individuals?
The Internet is also broadly used for online business, which involves all kinds of spheres including but not limited to promotion of goods and services with the help of specially created sites, banners and even nasty stuff like spam letters (this one is a really dirty method). This is what the term "Internet marketing" is generally used for. Well, to be entirely truthful, there are other ways of earning money over the Web that also go under this name, and those are services need to keep Internet running and getting bigger day by day.

There is a whole system for it - search engine optimization (SEO). Internet marketing involves many other things, which are doubtlessly fascinating and hard to describe in one short article.
