Different approaches to classification of marketing online communications were analyzed.

The system of marketing online communications was proposed to be considered as a complex of traditional instruments that differ in means and technologies of influence: Internet advertising (media, banner, contextual, background, video, static, etc.); Public Relations (PR) («good works» on behalf of the organization or individual manager’s PR, promotional YouTube videos, etc.); sales promotions (discounts while on-line orders, discount coupons, bonuses, volume discounts, etc.); personal sales (online sales, personal communication via chats or Skype and Viber, on-line sales consultation); direct marketing (mailing list, social networks personal pages appeal etc.). Communicative Internet technologies were meant to be communication software techniques of creation of communicative messages, informational resources support and transmitting this information to target consumers on the Internet. Internet communications tools were offered to be viewed as materialized online means used to transmit communicative information to the consumer by means of Internet technologies. More over, a website was proposed to be considered as the only means of communication on the Internet, but the information (communicative message) can be presented online in various forms, hence the need to distinguish various means of Internet communications occurs: electronic media, banners, portals, Rich media, blogs, forums search engines, message boards, e-mail, articles, video blocks, files, cookies, personal pages, virtual communities and so on.
