WEB ADVERTISING AND INFORMATION ON THE WEB

 

Advertising and sponsorship are hardly new phenomena in American culture.

The company Web site often starts out its life as just one more way to 'advertise' and provides a point of contact with potential and existing customers. But pretty soon it gets to be more than that.
