Are You Marketing Viral? By David Bain
Are you Marketing Viral? What can businesses do now to increase their marketing viral viral effectiveness for existing websites and what marketing viral facilities should be an essential part of new website design and promotion?
1) TechnoratiPinging
If you haven’t heard by now, Technorati is the Daddy of blogging. Part of the reason why blogging is gaining popularity in the business world so rapidly that it has the capability of automatically listing the most recent blog post with hundreds of different directories and search engines. Simply paste a piece of hidden code from Technorati on your blog and you can start to benefit from the automated blog marketing process.
2) del.icio.us Bookmarking
del.icio.us is the Mother of Social Bookmarking. Social Bookmarking is the phenomenon that not only lets the user keep their Website bookmarks online so that they can access them anywhere, it also lets them share their bookmarks with everyone else. This means that people around the world can now instantly see what website pages are particularly relevant for a tagged keyword.
3) Digg Digging
Digg is the Son of a PR firm. However, instead of charging you to promote your story, it lets the public decide how much promotion your story should receive. One ‘Digg’ is one vote for the value in your Digg release. If your story is one of the more popular among the new releases, additional exposure will be achieved through a listing on the Digg home page. This could bring you thousands of website visitors.
4) Article Publication
Something that has been around for a bit longer, but will also increase your viral coefficient is the submission of your own original articles to other websites in exchange for the additional inclusion of an ‘author bio’ section. One of the leading general article directories in this field is EzineArticles.com. An additional business articles directory is BuildYourOwnBusiness.biz.
5) eBook Publication
An eBook can be published and sold for profit. However, a free eBook is also and excellent tool for viral marketers. If you are able to write an eBook about a subject that you are knowledgeable about – and that people want to find out more about, then after a few months, significant volumes of people could be emailing their friends and colleagues copies of your book. (Remember to include your website address on your free eBook to take advantage of the marketing potential)
