Otherwise referred to as word-of-mouth marketing, Viral is today's electronic equivalent of archaic rumor, gossip or tittle-tattle, this practice is one of the least expensive options that any business enterprise has for advertising purposes.

Viral marketing is a credible form of publicity because it does not come straight from the company's managers, but rather, it comes as a direct outcome of the business' performances.
