I saw many people talking about the power of viral marketing or word of mouth marketing. I never experienced its power until I started my DoFollow blog search engine.When I launched BacklinkSpot by Jan 18, I just posted about it at DP forum, V7n forum and NamePros forum. With lots of webmasters around these forums, I received around 2800 hits till now, which is not bad for new site with no big marketing.

The main reason for the hit of BacklinkSpot is that, this site is a viral content. As coined by sethgodin, Viral content is,

  • Easy to understand
  • People want it to spread
  • People believe that spreading it will enhance their power (reputation, income, friendships) or their peace of mind
  • the effort necessary to send the idea is less than the benefits

Here are some bloggers who linked to BacklinkSpot,

Also the site was discussed at various webmaster forums.

Being viral will get you lot of backlinks and it will get you traffic for longterm. Usually top 10, top 100 type blog posts will be viral. Even I got a viral post in my blog at Strongest posts of top make money online blogs. This post was stumbled by Emoms and got lots of comments from top bloggers. Unfortunately, when I posted the article, my server went down and everything messed for around 2 months. I’m preparing my next viral content and will post it soon! Do you have any experience with viral content?
