To break the concept down to its simplest, you give something away that has value, is of use to others.
Whatever it is you give away has links to your website, or needs people to use your product.
In the giveaway, you build in encouragement for others to pass it on themselves.
The chain of people passing it on self perpetuates, all the time with your website being a core element of the giveaway.
It means your marketing message or website can be seen by a number of people that you cannot predict, and cannot control.
If successful, a viral campaign can create a flood of traffic which won t stop even if you wanted it to a marketer s dream!
