Before getting started, we first must define what we mean by website marketing. Put simply, whereas traditional marketing methodologies harness the power of newspapers, radio and other forms of media, website marketing sells goods and services by utilizing the unique opportunities presented by websites, email and search engines.

Here are a few key concepts which are integral to understanding these unique opportunities:

World Wide Web: A system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, one can view Webpages that contain text, images, videos, and multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks.

This content is served up by web servers, computer programs responsible for delivering the requested data to browsers via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Each web server is reachable via an IP address, a globally unique series of numbers that locates it on the internet. For instance, google.com is located at the address 63.146.123.0. Comparing this to a business with a physical location, if your IP is a difficult-to-remember street address, then the associated domain name is a more memorable business name.

Each individual web server can host numerous websites, each with its own unique domain name, content and IP address. This has become common for hosting companies, and is the reason behind the marked decrease in website hosting costs.

The domain name system (DNS) is a network of servers which translates cryptic IP addresses into domain names, thus making them available in a form readable by human and computer alike. In this way, any resource connected to a network can have a globally unique, easily memorable name that helps it to be found much more easily.
