Viral Marketing Re-defined  

Posted by Saki S

Say you are in a swimming party, and suddenly you whisper to your closed one that you are somehow virus infected. What will happen? Any guess? Yes, you are right. From the next moment on, you will definitely find the party is either gone or you are out from the party, if the virus is really dangerous. So virus is always something that makes us scared. But what is all about when we mix it with the idea of marketing? Probably it implies something that has some basic nature of virus.

Today when I was reading an excellent book called 'Viral Marketing: Get Your Audience to Do Your Marketing for You' written by Russell Goldsmith. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Well, to be very honest with my readers, I knew very little about viral marketing even today morning (well even to this moment to be very, very frank with you again). But I have made a plan. I will share as much as I will learn. How's the deal? It will help me to practice and to keep my blog updated.

Now let me come to the title of this post. The definition of viral marketing, the way I find it. Now what does a virus do? It spreads. How? It replicates itself. This is the same principle viral marketing is based on. Look at the following picture. I tried to illustrate the idea with the help of a virus picture.

So the simple principle of viral population is replication. It replicates itself aggressively. This is the key concept of this type of marketing strategy. It allows you to pass the marketing message to others and creates a possibility to grow at an exponential rate to the exposure and success of the message. Same to the idea of virus population, viral marketing strategizes to replicate for the benefit of rapid multiplication in order to explode the marketing message to the thousands and to the millions and to the billions.

Is the Concept of Viral Marketing Only Limited to Online Market?

No, certainly not. In the offline marketplace, viral marketing is popularly known to some other phrases as well. Let me tell you one after one. These are 'Word of Mouth Strategy', 'Leveraging the Market Strategy', 'Creating a Buzz Strategy' and 'Network Marketing Strategy'. On the Internet, it is mostly referred to as viral marketing.

Googlism Sucks!  

Posted by Saki S

Yes it is! Let me tell you why.

There is a group who has formed 'The Church of Google'. I am not too sure about their actual activity, but today when I was searching Google with the phrase 'Is Google God?' after getting sucked up with my AdSense account, I found some interesting results. Enough of irony, but there are seriously a phrase in this virtual world which says that there IS a church of Google. What a mess!

Yes, this is a mess, since Google is compared with the Almighty. Oh my God (or Google?????!)! They have compared Google in such rubbish way:

"We at the Church of Google believe the search engine Google is the closest humankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God (as typically defined). We believe there is much more evidence in favor of Google's divinity than there is for the divinity of other more traditional gods."

Honestly I love Google very much. In fact, yes, I do primarily trust on Google to do my research in almost all aspects. But a compare with the God!!! I just can't take it. Do you?

The Church of Google has compiled a list of 9 items in support of their Googlism claim. Well, trust me, I don’t have the faith or patience to re-list them out in my blog. Want to read the list? Well, you may always take a ride there from my blog. Thanks for visiting.

An update: They have also designed prayers in the name of Google. Oh Lord! Please save me from Google prayer. BTW, they have also added 10 Commandments in the name of Google! What an irony!

Why Google Dance?  

Posted by Saki S

Google Dance is the condition which is used to refer the update of the index on a schedule basis. It is typically done on a monthly basis, once in a month. You can identify it when you see that there is a considerable shifts happening in the Google search result. Well, it is not a simple business that can be done within couple of hours, but it needs several days to complete the entire process. During this phase, the new index and old index interchange on the site www.google.com. At the initial days, the search results appear sporadically, meaning new index appears from time to time, but later, they appear more recurrently. The Google starts dancing.

When Google starts dancing, it can be viewed from test domains www2.google.com and www3.google.com. These are the domains which typically have steady DNS records, allowing the domains to resolve single, sometimes the same, IP address. So, prior to the Google dance, the data center IP address is assigned to at least one of these test domains which obtains the new index first time.

So with the help of www2 and www3 domains, you can check the upcoming rankings of your website. If you are interested to check whether an update is in progress, use the following tool to discover.
