The internet leaders: search, social, and e-commerce Social networks, search engines, and e-commerce websites shape the online experience as we know it.

Meanwhile, websites such as Amazon and eBay generate millions in profits from the sale and distribution of goods, making the e-market sector an integral part of the global retail scene.

While AI's impact on the online market might bring both opportunities and challenges, effective content management will remain crucial for profitability on the web.
