Price can vary from few cents on ebook to many dollars.

Place

In real world location may play. A hot address would mean more business. But internet where everything is just a click away.

Therefore the address is not as important as in off line world but the address is paralleled by domain names on the internet. A good and hot domain name is akin to having a good address.

Promotion

Internet is pull rather than push medium. You can choose free/pain or both of them.

Viral marketing is another angle to look at it.

Promtional methods on internet have a different angle to look at. The promtion needs to involve people rather than traditional interruption approach by offline methods.

Acustomer cannot be forced to see your ad. Forced ads like popups are in fact considered intrusions.
