Industry code for Internet Marketing?

I have 3 separate income sources (substantial). I'm confused which industry code will include all these 3:

1. IT/Marketing Service revenue (the service I provide to my clients to build their websites and promote/market their companies online. I just get paid for my service, no commission)

2. Advertising Revenue: I sell banner ads on my website/blogs and earn revenue from it. For example, through google adsense.

3. Affiliate Commission Revenue: I market products from Product marketplaces (for instance Amazon) and when a sale is made, I get percentage commission from Amazon. I'm just using Amazon as an example here, the actual companies are different and they all have digital products (like ebooks) and I get commission when a sale is made through my online promotional efforts.

Please let me know if I have to add these as separate businesses or in just one. And what would the industry code?

I entered 541800 as the code and TurboTax showed an error saying it's invalid because there's no such code. So I had to replace it with 541810 (Advertising agencies), which is somewhat similar.

541800. Advertising and Related Services would do it.

You could use 541800. Advertising and Related Services. If the businesses are closely related you can use the one code.

Use 541800. Advertising and Related Services. The exact code used is not critical. If you think your businesses are closely related you can lump them together.
