This study was designed to examine and prioritize the factors influencing the success of Internet marketing among export companies, using the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making technique. The statistical population consisted of managers from 52 export trading companies in Mazandaran province, Iran. A questionnaire was employed to collect the necessary data from the set of managers. A group of experts in the field make a check if the questions in the questionnaire serve to the purpose of the research study. After the validity of the questionnaire is confirmed by the experts its reliability is assessed by using the Cronbach's alpha statistical measure. The values of this measure are: for internal factors (0.84), external factors (0.85), international factors (0.83), and Internet marketing success (0.86). The structural equation model (SEM) was applied to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses using the SPSS and LISREL software. Additionally, the TOPSIS technique was utilized to prioritize the identified factors. The results indicate that internal, external, and international factors significantly impact the success of Internet marketing. The TOPSIS ranking revealed that external factors are rated the first place, followed by internal factors and international factors in the second and third places.
