When Digital Marketing Started in the World

These days digital marketing is more popular than traditional marketing, such as television and radio. It all began in 1990 when the first introduction of email marketing took place. The first engine, named Archie, was released in 1990 and the phrase digital marketing followed closely behind. 

The first clickable advert on the internet appeared in 1993, the same time that Google was introduced, followed closely by Yahoo. Then came cookie technology, that was used to store clients browser data, which became essential in digital marketing campaigns.

2000 Played a Significant Role

The year 2000 played a significant role in digital marketing. DotCom was introduced, causing many internet companies to close their doors, at the same time Google launched AdWords, enabling users to promote their products. Today Adwords is known as Google Ads.

A short while later we saw the introduction of social media, with Facebook and Google being made available to the public. Along came YouTube, which marketers now use to promote brands.

Mobile Technology

With the introduction of smart phones, mobile technology sky-rocketed, which was the introduction of Whatsapp, along with the launch of Google +, which helped advance digital marketing.
