It is essential once in a while to get out on the web and browse for related articles. We decided a couple weeks ago that we should be doing link round up as everybody else and here is our fresh batch of second link round up.
Today’s links are geared towards two aspects of marketing – Traditional and Online. As we were trying to see what others have to say about the differences and effectiveness of these two forms of marketing, we were able to grab 10 links that we think you will enjoy. Most of these links talk in favor of online marketing, but since we are old timers when it comes to marketing, we decided to throw in one link that talks in favor of traditional marketing.
If you have any links on this subject please feel free to post the link on your comments.
We hope you are finding these link round ups interesting. Here it is – Traditional Marketing and Online Marketing

It’s your turn to share 
I think that depending on the type of business or service that you offer, you will either need to do online marketing or traditional marketing.
For most companies, I would say that having an online prescense definitely helps.
But for a large number of websites, I think that traditional marketing would not be worth the time. Take for example traffic exchange websites – I don’t really think that you would be seeing a billboard anywhere that would be marketing one – most people in the “real” world wouldn’t need it.
So, both marketing types definitely have their uses – but depending on your situation, they may or may not be effective for you.
