Viral Marketing is a relatively new term used by marketers mainly on the internet. Viral Marketing is advertisements for a web site or product that gets passed around throughout the internet. Viral Marketing takes into consideration the ways in which people share their information.
For instance one of the biggest examples of viral marketing are article directories.
People that have a product, service or website that they would like to advertise
create a helpful article that includes a link or advertisement. These articles
are now placed on article directories in which tens of thousands of viewers
visit. The articles can be downloaded and posted on other web sites provided
that they include the link and author. Over time viral marketing takes its
course and this one original article created is now viewed and posted on thousands
of sites in front of thousands of visitors who may want to purchase the product,
service or visit the web site.
As you can see viral marketing can be extremely low cost and extremely effective.
