online promotion

Online promotion is any activity that markets to users on the Internet. Typically, online promotion drives users, through advertising oriented links, from one place on the Internet to your web site.

Online promotion is particularly effective because your audience is already using the Internet and with one click can be on your site. Additionally, online promotion qualifies the customer and shapes their expectations through the linking banner or headline used.
