Sure… some of these worked for a minute, but…
None continued to stockpile cash in their creator’s bank account year in and year out.
They were fads…
They were a flash in the pan…
They were like viral traffic is today – here today and gone tomorrow!
I get the fascination…

Brace yourself… what I’m going to say next is counter-cultural… it flies in the face of the wanna be marketers and business owners.
Viral traffic is not your friend!
Viral traffic isn’t measureable
Viral traffic delivers potential customers that you probably don’t want
Viral traffic isn’t predictable
Viral traffic isn’t good business
