Hello guys,..what are the examples of viral marketing?

Viral marketing techniques would be creating a video and upload it to YouTube with your URL flashed on the screen. Or else just use viral widgets on your blog/web site to spread the word of mouth.

Assume that you have some crazy offers and you want to promote them. You have written some amazing articles/blogs and shared with ur friends & followers, shared in social media, and finally created a buzz with waiver.

Next, your friends & followers like ur articles very much, they feel interest, share with their friends & followers. They will talk about it with people near by them.

Next, their referrals will share this topic with their friends and take some actions.

This is called SNOW-BALL EFFECT alias viral marketing.

Thinking about it, I would define it as a spin on word-of-mouth
If you compare traditional marketing as a centralized system, where the brand/company spreads the message, in viral marketing, you have all these small systems (people) spreading the message. Sort of like peer-to-peer vs. central

Yes, of course. Viral marketing do generate backlinks and traffic as well.
Just all that you need is to use viral marketing on right track.
