All started out pretty good….but…

Then she tasted that nasty toothpaste…
I’ve been reading a friends blog from time to time about viral marketing. These two pictures made me think, “If I had a website and I was a Dentist, this would be a perfect viral marketing campaign to get people to come to my site and book mark the funny pictures…I could title the post - “Will your dentist make your kid do this?” or “Toothpaste that makes you twinge“.
I’m sure there are other directions you could head with these pictures but I think Mat’s viral marketing ideas and suggestions are contagious. Some may ask, “How can this really help my website?” Links, links, links! As we talk about social media marketing (saving articles and web pages to your favorites in StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious and the like), a big part of viral marketing and SMO is encouraging people to add your pages to their favorites. By doing this, you are creating links all over the internet that help Google and other search engines find you. The more they find you on relevant sites, the better chance you have of moving up the charts for keywords you are using on your pages. We don’t want to SPAM these sites, but creative strategies like this really do help build links and increases traffic.
What ideas are you testing?
