The concept of viral marketing has been around long before computers and the invention of the Internet by Al Gore.
The interweb marketers have used it since Hotmail was introduced as a free web-based email service using this technique to spread the word. Viral marketing is just another name for word-of-mouth and now social media marketing, or SMM.

Dr. Ralph Wilson, an expert in Internet Marketing and owner of wilsonweb.com has described viral marketing as having six central attributes paraphrased here as: Something Free, Easily Transferable, Scalable, Motivates Action, Using Common Networks, and Employing Other's Resources...all perfectly suited and accessible to social networking as it has developed and as we know it today.

This brings us to the blogosphere, IM, and traffic building. A blog without traffic is like the tree that falls in the woods with nobody to hear it. It does not make any noise. If you are new to Internet Marketing, and in particular new to blogging, then you may know how lonely this can be.

Like marketing for real estate with "Location, Location, Location", online marketing has three important themes. "Traffic, Traffic, and more Traffic".

Most bloggers, including the famous and the not so famous, keep experimenting with viral marketing and the gaming of SEO and popular ranking systems like Alexa and Technorati. Yes, it still is kind of like the Wild West when it comes to online marketing, but some simple viral techniques will still bring traffic to your sites.

Most recently the popular blog, Dosh Dosh Dot Com, was smacked down by many readers for introducing the Technorati Test. This brings us to new levels of viral experimenting at the invention of Jimi Morrison of www.jimimorrisonshead.com with the "RSS Feed Subscriber Campaign".

There is no reason to give the details here, since you will have to visit a participating website to copy and implement the simple instructions. It will require a cut and paste blog post that should not take more than 5-10 minutes at the most to complete.

Viral marketing will be with us always in one form or another. Make sure you take advantage and place this tool in your marketing bag of tricks. I made the RSS Mass Feed List from networking with Jimi Morrison from the first few weeks that I started my social networking and learning traffic strategies. Its just a matter of taking action and getting involved.
