Viral Marketing...does it work?

I am new to all of this but received an e-mail from a friend who tried this viral marketing. I am interested in others feedback about this type of marketing. I'm posting the link below so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. I'd love some input. Thanks!

Just like any other marketing method, it works for those who use it effectively.

I think his "viral" marketing method is spamming forums with a pretend question about viral marketing.

It's one small step above the usual "viral" marketing of "LOL OMG I found this kewl site", but that's not saying much.

Try new word of mouth viral marketing system. Highly relevant, efficient and distributed advertising. Drive large number of visitors to your website in a short period of time. Guaranteed ROI. This is not a pay per click system. http://widecircles.com

Viral marketing obviously works but not for all kind of sites.

Possibly if you make a great interesting youtube video that is controversial... and then have some flair for spinning the press, you may have a shot... at getting enough momentum for it to take off.
