Viral Marketing

Free targeted traffic. If that's not your idea of a goldmine, you shouldn't be in the Internet marketing business. And getting free targeted traffic has recently become even more powerful thanks to the help of Web 2.0.

In theory, viral marketing is done by getting one 'happy customer' to tell their friends, who in turn tell their friends, who in turn tell their friends and so on. The problem, however, has always been figuring out a way to actually get this phenomena to happen systematically.

One social networking site that is quickly gaining popularity is Squidoo. The idea behind this site is to give people what they want. What many people don't realize about Squidoo is that its linking preferences fly in the face of conventional SEO teachings.

When you upload your videos to a video hosting like You Tube, they will give you an opportunity to enter in a title and a description for your video. This step is of vital importance to getting your video to show up in the results when others are searching. If you don't have a good title and description, chances are your video will just get lost in the masses.

Arguably, the best way for you to market your business is to have someone else do it for you for free, over and over and over again! To many marketers this may sound like just a 'dream' but it happens everyday via 'word of mouth marketing.'

Humor is the number one way to get your video passed around. If you can't be funny, consider being shocking.
