What is viral marketing Viral marketing messages, like medical viruses get passed on from a one person to another. For example, I suggest that you visit a web site, you make the suggestion to 10 other people who, in turn, make the suggestion to another ten people each. Take the example three steps further and the 100 turns into 1000, then 10000 and then 100000. In practice many 'virus threads' die before they spread at all. Others spread across cyberspace like wildfire.
