Internet marketers would have an edge over the competition if he or she has experience with database programming, JavaScript, a web programming language like PHP, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets and Extensible Markup Language. Knowhow in Flash programming and photoshopping are definite pluses. These are the most basic tools any web-based entrepreneur should have to merely survive.

Understanding these technologies would make one appreciate how the World Wide Web is built and operated. Grasping its basics would make these technologies work together to provide information and, applications for prospective web clients. To be successful in this field, one also has to discover how search engines interpret and interact with Web content.

It is important for internet marketer to have an idea of how people use technology because people communicate and consume media through it. The internet marketer should be an adopter of online tools as well as consumer electronics, and an avid user of these technologies. The use and adoption of technology will enable the internet marketer to understand the real-life scope and limitations of internet technologies-knowledge priceless for marketing strategies. If the internet marketer can immerse oneself in the field, learn most of the techniques, and apply the concepts newly learned to the business, chances are competition will begin crumbling one by one.
