Just imagine how many people go online for each & every day for various reason.
Some have to go for online for work, others say they go online to socialize and still few goes for shopping online.
There is huge number of people searching for specific things and because people share their specific requirements search provides them a high quality answer to their needs.
It is the new means for business owners to reach their target market.
Biggest advantage of online medium over traditional is because of the reason mentioned below: Cost Efficiency Can you imagine just how much you would need to place a TV commercial, a newspaper ad and promoting your product via air i.e radio.
Its also very broad, untargeted marketing.
Internet marketing can be so much cheaper as there are barely any production or transmission costs, and it is so effective primarily because it is targeted specifically to the online user searching for an item at the time they are interested.
Instant Feedback Another great thing is that you can get the feedback of your target market in a snap.
They can comment and ask questions about your post very quickly.
That way, you can communicate with your customers faster and the sooner that you convince them to purchase the product or service that you are promoting, the better.

Internet marketing is pro in all of these3 parameters (cost, effective targeting and interaction). But beyond these3 there is a key attribute which makes internet marketing so efficient i.e Dynamic analytics of ongoing campaign. You get to see live events like at what time your ad was mosty clicked, what was age group which was attracted to certain adv or what was next action they took just after watching your adv. This power of analytics has never been with tradition marketing efforts. A manager with understanding of internet marketing tools can be two times more efficient that a old school manager in gaining traction to his business.

I think it is a combination of all three and I would add the greatest benefit there is: Real time tracking.

I personally think that the biggest advantage of internet marketing is its ability to target your customer directly and to measure the return on investment(ROI) on your marketing expenditure.
The success or failure of your marketing efforts can be found out easily and also corrective measures can be taken ,if required, to improve your marketing efforts.
Also, its possible to do all this without the help of an external agency.
You can actually manage the whole process on your own or with the help of your in-house staff.

Marketing is all about measurement, and this is the core value of Digital Marketing as all, cost is not really that low in case of huge brands which needs to invest heavily for brand awareness anyway, and internet marketing will not keep the low cost in the future with all infrastructure and development needed to maintain a top presence online.
Targeting future will be toward mobiles more than regular computers.
