6 Events that Shifted the Online Marketing Landscape in 2010

The marketing industry was rocked in 2010 by an influx of significant events that changed the way we do business. The following list is my picks for the 6 Events that Shifted the Online Marketing Landscape in 2010.

1) Net Neutrality and the FCC’s rulings

Net Neutrality isn’t sexy enough to stay in the foreground of topics that merit discussion in the general population at large, or the marketing industry in particular. Often described in dry, technical language, the layman’s (aka the voter) understanding is vague, especially since little air time or print space has been devoted to educating the masses.

Lies, Damn Lies, and 65 Percent Purchase Online Statistics

Everybody spends money for online content, or so you would think if you read the Pew Internet study just released. The report claims that 65 percent of internet users have paid for online content – which may be true but it is also misleading. The title is so misleading in fact, that I would bet money the title gets tweeted and misinterpreted by news outlets, bloggers, and online curators.

You hear about all those glorified companies like Google and Facebook and you’d think it be fun to you start your own business, right? I hate to break it to you, but business isn’t fun.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the obvious reason why businesses are around are to make money. People start and join businesses to make money… it’s as simple as that. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the New York Stock Exchange; companies are purely based on their financial performance.

2011: Year of the eCoupon?

If Google’s failed bid to buy Groupon did anything, it brought a whole lot of attention to a concept you might call “social couponing.” Not that Groupon needed the publicity, it was already on track to be what some analysts say is the fastest growing business in history.

Groupon’s “shtick” is offering a deal of the day from a local business, and users are encouraged to pass along the deal and broadcast it via social networks. The online deal-a-day model became particularly popular in 2010 as consumers continued to be stingy with their money. Also popular with online
