Özet

Ever since the internet began to be used, people have been looking for ways to profit from the people who use it. This started with online sales, then continued with online ads, and moved into a few different marketing areas such as mobile, email, and sms. In today's business world, more and more entrepreneurs and firms are using digital marketing. Digital marketing, also known as internet marketing, is the process by which businesses promote a product/service on various online platforms. These platforms can be social media, mobile applications, websites, commercial marketplaces, blogs, and other digital applications.  While the technology-enabled marketing process offers many benefits for customers, it also confronts marketers with several ethical issues. Digital marketers are especially faced with dilemmas originating from artificial intelligence. The main critical questions on this topic summarize the concerns about promotional ethics;

• Can every method on the Internet be used to reach the consumer?

• How can we best explain the product benefit to the consumer?

• Are marketers manipulating the consumer using technology?

• Do digital pricing strategies create injustice?

• How should consumer data be used in ad targeting?

Based on these questions, this study undertook a review of the digital marketing ethic by classifying traditional marketing mix elements.
