Need a new idea for viral marketing

Hello all,

I am looking for new ideas on viral marketing to build traffic to my site. Also looking for low cost ways to build new traffic building reports that can be very useful to my visitors.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

If you like the idea of getting one million humans to look at your website, then take a look at my signature!

If you would visit my site, then my gift to you would be a really nice software that should help you increase your traffic.

(It's downloadable from my site.)

Here are some simple viral marketing techniques, which you can try with your web site, product or business:

-Word of Mouth: Put up a simple tell a friend form so your visitors can easily tell others about your site.
-eBooks are proven to go very viral, spreading that word about you.
-Viral Software: Some simple software products or applications can be very viral, often passed around or downloaded from the web by thousands each day.

How about some kind of contest? Typically this kind of stuff only works when the rewards are really cool, but when they work there is usually a good turn around

Have you done any contests in the past Arjun? I wonder how you could get word to spread or what types of prizes are good. Maybe a Lightsaber right...

I really enjoy the youtube viral marketing campaigns. Will It Blend was a good one and I've seen a few others that are pretty entertaining. When I see something funny, I will usually pass it on to a few people.

Those are pretty good. I liked the one where Kobe jumped over the car.

Well, a lot depends from the niche and the budget you can afford to spend.

However, if you Google up a bit, you can find quite a few posts with ideas, e.g. this one:

Great post Sandis. I particularly agree with #21, because the blogosphere is massive and such a good way to get the word out about a product. Wordpress alone has over 2 million hosted blogs, and there are other softwares such as blogspot, jimdo, and others.

I wonder about #30 though...are e-books really that effective anymore? it seems like that was the #1 technique a few years ago, and a great way to build up an e-mail list to re-market to.
