What is Viral Marketing? Viral marketing is what marketers use to gain publicity through existing social networks. Achieved through word-of-mouth contact, viral marketing spreads quickly -- like a virus.

Right now, Bacardi Live Radio is hot on the viral marketing scene, as rum and music fans forward news of the site to one another. Cool idea, but bad name. I saw "Barcadi Liver Ad" until I got to the I in the URL.
