While researching last week’s MarketingExperiments’ Web clinic, “2008 Internet Marketing Strategy: Are You Prepared?” I accumulated many “fun facts” about Internet marketing in 2007 that didn’t make it into the final deck but that I’d still like to share in this less formal forum. Examined in part or in sum, dots may be connected and insights may emerge. I plan to share several per posting this week.
