Maybe I wasn’t clear—when it works, yes, viral video is effective. But it works so rarely—and the factors that make it work are so difficult to predict and harness—that the overall effectiveness rate (the rate of effective campaigns over total campaigns) is extremely low.

Interesting post! I agree with Harry, viral video marketing is more than effective and we need to be creative in creating viral videos in order to be competitive and get the attention of online viewers. I do video marketing for small local business to promote their products or services. I enjoyed reading your post. Thanks and keep it up. .-= Video Marketing´s last blog ..Local Internet Marketing Question? =-.

@Harry—Right, the odds of a video going viral are very small, so overall the effectiveness rate will be very low.

I personally think that viral video marketing is more than efective….the bigest problem is that the percentage of videos which become viral is extremely small if you compare to the total number of videos on the internet….You have to be a creative genious in order to a create a viral video.

[...] A blog post in Marketing Pilgrim says that two-thirds of marketers surveyed said they were using SMM, up from only 20% of marketers in the 2007 survey. The most popular social sites for marketers were Facebook (74%), YouTube (65%), Twitter (63%), and LinkedIn (60%). Only a quarter of marketers were using viral video in 2007. http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/08/viral-video-social-media-marke ting-up.html [...]

Agreed—I would have liked to see some measure of actual or at least perceived success rates.

have always been interested in viral marketing but it’s not the easiest thing to get your head round. I would not like to be the person at any of the large companies trying to come up with a successful viral video. the problem is alot of the time it just depends on luck for a viral video to be successful so as a way of marketing its very high risk!
