Internet Viral Marketing

I am curious if anyone has heard of WideCircles internet viral marketing engine? I was referred to it by another webmaster. They work by publishing messages on various forum, blog, wiki, classified, etc websites. These messages then contain backlinks which help with SEO, as well attract lot of referral traffic. They bill around 0.40c per each post thats been active for 5 days and claim a single post can easily attract 100 or more hits a day, I am going to give them a try today and see how it goes. If anyone wants to check it out here is the link. http://widecircles.com?imt=2

Just what wee need -- more frickin' garbage spam on blogs, and forums. I loathe this type of advertisement, and think it is deplorable.

Is this what we consider viral???? This is the used car salesman approach. I know all about these sights but I think you can come up with a more creative approach! Good luck

"Our publishers form and convey the message about advertiser's product or service including a link to advertiser website on variety of highly related and visited forum, blog and other sites. Each website receives different message. Publishers carefully analyze the rules and regulations of each website before posting their message there to see whether posting such message would be allowed and to ensure that posting is completely relevant to the target audience."

How many plurals are missing, not to mention words? Haha. Totally awkward to read. But, um, I'm sure they'll post quality stuff for you.

This type of thing really goes against the viral/Web 2.0 etiquette and an audience with any savvy-ness will see right through it. Worse, you risk starting a blogstorm against your company/product/service. As leaders in Web-based advertising and marketing best practices, I think its our JOB to combat these types of services. If you want traffic - generate good, usable content and reach out to your audiences in honest ways. Sure, 2/3 of the battle is getting noticed - but at what expense?
