Abstract Currently, there are few owners but many challengers for dominance in cyberspace. Increasingly, there is commercial pressure to justify Internet investment and establish the effectiveness of the Web as a medium for customer communication. Many Web sites are beginning to respond by collecting data about their visitors, attempting to capture their origin, monitoring movements within the site and adding registration and customer questionnaires. With non-professionals collecting and acting on such data, there is the very grave concern of misinterpretation and misrepresentation of information. This paper examines the development of the Internet as its relates to marketing and the role of online customer research. It looks at the changing relationship between marketer and customers, the impact of virtual communities, the development of one-to-one relationship marketing and overlays the principal tracks that market research is taking in terms of the Internet as a medium for measurement and as a data collection tool. It examines the research tools available online; the dynamics of data collection, issues of respondent selection, privacy, security and the future direction, concerns and opportunities for the industry.
