The Evolution of Digital Marketing from the 1990s to Now
https://betatestsolutions.com/blog/digital-marketing-history-evolution-and-latest-trends/

Digital marketing didn't just appear overnight—it evolved through decades of innovation. From the birth of the first clickable web ad in 1994 to the rise of SEO, email marketing, social media, and mobile ads, the history of digital marketing is filled with milestones that have transformed how businesses reach consumers. The dot-com boom introduced banner ads, and by the 2000s, Google AdWords and analytics tools changed everything. Social platforms like Facebook and YouTube soon redefined content marketing, while mobile optimization became critical after 2010. Understanding the evolution of digital marketing helps marketers learn from the past and adapt for the future. This post offers a concise timeline of key developments, trends, and turning points.
