Marketers who have experience creating viral campaigns favor microsites, games and video clips according to Marketing Sherpa’s "2007 Viral Marketing Survey."

Microsites Win For Viral Campaigns

Viral marketers know that having a separate presence for campaigns can return good results. The most preferred tactic used by marketers is "Creating cool microsites" with 37 percent saying they produced excellent results. One-third said that online games brought good results.

Video clips had fairly good reviews for marketers, with three out of 10 saying they had positive results, and only 13 percent called their results poor.

When it comes to budgets around 43 percent of seasoned marketers say they spend between $5,000 and $10,000 on video clips for their viral campaigns, while 49 percent of less-experienced marketers say they spend between $2,500 to $5,000.

About two-thirds of marketers said they would use video in a campaign in the coming year.

The chances of the video actually achieving viral status are not that high according to an Online Publishers Association (OPA) survey.

When people come across online videos that grab their attention they tell others. Only nine percent of OPA survey participants did so on a regular basis, but an additional 29 percent communicated about online videos occasionally.

There are two ways of looking at the OPA study’s results, according to eMarketer senior analyst David Hallerman.

"Since fewer than one in 10 people frequently tell others about online video, it could be argued that the whole concept of viral online video is somewhat overblown," says Mr. Hallerman.

"Having said that, only about one in 10 people in any field are the ‘influencers’ who give word-of-mouth marketing its power."

"Reliance on viral video, rather than making it just one element for getting the message out, will succeed only in rare cases," he adds.

The practice of establishing AdWords accounts for the purpose of passing clicks through a third-party malware distributor has drawn a blame-the-user response from Google.

Google Responds To AdWords Scam Kerfuffle

Google’s bread-and-butter paid search ads had a whiff of acrid spoilage to them after a nasty criminal attack using AdWords accounts became public knowledge.

Criminals used AdWords to direct web browsers through a third party website that attempted to infect the PC. The attack would take advantage of a flaw in Internet Explorer to drop a backdoor and a post-logger onto PCs; the malware specifically looked for credentials for 100 banking sites, according to Exploit Prevention Labs.

Google’s Inside AdWords blog has a new post available, with the company’s response to this egregious abuse of its product. They identified and shut down AdWords accounts linked to these attacks, and are continuing to monitor the situation.

“We actively work to detect and remove sites that serve malware in both our ad network and in our search results,” the post said. “We have manual and automated processes in place to detect and enforce these policies, and products such as Google Toolbar that actively seek out and alert users when they access malicious or suspicious sites.”

It doesn’t look like the processes worked. Exploit Prevention Labs began noticing the criminal AdWords placements on April 10, a full two weeks before Google deactivated the offending accounts. Those ads likely ran for a period of time before Exploit Prevention Labs picked up on them.

Google also gave the usual security advice to people about securing their systems with up to date virus protection, and changing complex passwords regularly. Good advice, but it’s also a deflection from the broader trust issue that people will have with paid search ads now.

Searchers were making very innocuous queries on Google that turned up these malevolent AdWords ads. These were searches that turned up phony ads for the Better Business Bureau and Cars.com, neither of which tend to be associated with the less than prurient sites (as in adult) usually associated with drive-by infections.

The situation is also going to make people who have been hit with attacks like these, without having visited any unusual sites, to wonder if this is how their systems got nailed with a nasty Trojan. This isn’t the first time criminals have tried to abuse AdWords, judging by Google’s stated practice of looking for this behavior.

It’s going to take more than a blog post to engender ongoing trust in paid search ads. Good luck with that.

Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) criticized both AT&T head Ed Whitacre and Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) for their efforts against Network Neutrality protections during a conference call with reporters today, as the SaveTheInternet.com coalition celebrated its first anniversary.

Sen. Dorgan Praises Net Neutrality Coalition

Dorgan cited Stevens’ role in stonewalling a vote on the issue on the Senate floor last summer, and Whitacre’s expressed intent to develop a tiered Internet.

The North Dakota senator also praised the Free Press’ SaveTheInternet grassroots campaign, which is nominated for a Webby award, to preserve the medium’s open architecture – an architecture that has made it "one of the wonders of the world." Thanks to the coalition, he said, Net Neutrality has moved from an unknown technical issue to on of the predominant debates.

Dorgan believes the Senate is now "developing a consensus" on the issue, as more Washington politicians sign on to his and Sen. Olympia Snowe’s (R-ME) Internet Freedom Preservation Act, a piece of legislation similar to what the FCC required of AT&T in order to merge with Bell South.

“The Internet became a robust engine of economic development by enabling anyone with a good idea to connect to consumers and compete on a level playing field," he said. "The marketplace picked winners and losers, not some central gatekeeper. That freedom — the very core of what makes the Internet what it is today — must be preserved.”

At a year old, SaveTheInternet.com has attracted support from both sides of the political spectrum, small businesses as well as major online corporations like Google, collecting 1.6 million petition signers.

"Pretty much everybody is in favor of Net Neutrality except those running fake grassroots campaigns," said Craig Newmark, founder of the online classifieds site Craigslist.

The "fake" campaigns to which Newmark refers are ones that have had their origins traced back to telecommunications giants like AT&T. The telecommunications and cable industries have been staunch opponents of the Net Neutrality movement, and so have, by default, the members of Congress who rely heavily on them for campaign contributions.

Though Verizon and AT&T have characterized the Net Neutrality movement as one funded by billion-dollar Internet giants like Google and Microsoft, who they say stand to gain most, small businesses and nonprofits alike fear the lack of protection Net Neutrality legislation can offer.

Gary Miracle, owner of NMChili.com and other small retail sites, said that learning of the telcos plans to create a tiered system, where big-dollar companies could pay to have their sites delivered faster than the competition, "scared the bejeezus" of him. Their plans were reminiscent, he said, of the steep cable price increases over the past 20 years.

Paying "100 times" what he’s paying now would "put a real dent into my operation," he said.

But for Michelle Combs, representing the Christian Coalition, lack of Net Neutrality protection carries other concerns. "We have over 100,000 churches in our membership," she said. "Churches rely on the Internet and even have sermons on the Internet. We’re concerned. We’re getting the word out."

Combs said that organizations like hers were slow to adopt the movement because the concept wasn’t easily explained in the beginning. But now that more are beginning to understand the issue better, people are gravitating toward it – especially in light of concern that ISPs could, in theory, block or deteriorate the pathways by which the Christian Coalition spreads its message.

"Our goal is turn Net Neutrality into a true family issue," she said. "We are concerned that if they can control our content, then they can control our mission."

Ben Scott, policy director at FreePress, echoed Combs. "That’s the concern we all share from the content side. We’ve had no gatekeepers. We think that’s the magic of the Internet – an equal platform for democratic communication."

That platform for democratic communication is what propelled the Net Neutrality movement to the attention of American policymakers in the first place.

"What we’ve seen over the last year is nothing short of a grass roots Internet revolution," said Adam Green, Civic Communications Director for MoveOn.org. "Millions derailed a bill in Congress that would have allowed AT&T and Verizon to dictate what websites you open."
