Advertising on the Internet can be strategically planned or can be spur of the moment. There are elaborate marketing plans for advertising on the web and there are simple pop up search engine ads. Many today are writing informational articles in a subject area, allowing the general public to receive the information by typing in a key word or phrase to a search engine. When the information seeker is brought to the informational article, the article contains links to businesses that provide the service or products that the article is about.

Some people use the internet marketing techniques as a tool to get customers to log onto their website, or to get customers to frequent their store location. There are email lists a person can get for the purpose of direct email advertising online. These email lists are compiled by marketing companies that offer online surveys of people's interests. Once a person lists products or services they may be interested in or are planning on spending money on in the future, these email lists are sold to companies requesting email addresses that pertain to what product or service their business offers. Advertising on the web can also bring in a customer base from around the world. Since the Internet is global, advertising on the Internet can bring a business a global market. This would be hard to do through traditional direct mailing, printed publication ads or television. Reaching a global market would also be much more expensive than a simple marketing plan on the world wide web.

The first step to advertising on the Internet is to develop a website to direct customers to in order to gain information on, or to purchase the product or service that an owner is advertising on the web. A website is first created by hiring a web designer. In some cases self-made websites are available, but experts suggest enlisting the help of a professional web designer. Once the website is created, the advertiser needs to purchase a domain name. This can be tricky, as common names have already been purchased and can be unavailable. If there is a common name made available, chances are it will cost more than a less common name. There are regulations against those that purchase common names for the purpose of reselling them at extraordinary prices. It is wise to always check with an Internet commerce regulation organization before paying "too much" for a domain name. Once the domain name is chosen, that name should be shown everywhere. The name should be on the business cards of the owner, it should be on banner ads, it should be everywhere the owner hopes to reach the masses of people that are expected to purchase the product or service being offered. "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." (Psalm 1:3)
