Have you heard of trafficxplode.com? Viral marketing at its best?

    I just came across a link on another forum asking me to invite my friends and win a gift... The gift part didn't interest me much but this viral marketing tool looks like a runner...

    Has anyone else seen anything like this?

    Or have you tried: trafficxplode.com?

    Basically its a service that let's users of your website/forum invite their friends...

    I just came across it and it looks interesting.

    But wanted to ask around before I try it out.

    That website looks like spam. I don't understand why people continue to fall for these things - you might as well burn your money. Take whatever cash you were going to use to buy it, and invest it into some domains or something with value.

    I didn't look at it because I'm in an office with a strict firewall, but you do know that free tell a friend scripts are all over the net right? You don't need a 'service' for that.

    Well I didnt read 100% of that site but it looks like a FREE service...

    What I don't get is why vBulletin or major forum software hasn't introduced invite a friend through email. I mean has nobody understood yet why myspace and facebook made it so big?

    And it's so funny how viral marketing is discussed left right and center but such a genius tool as invite a friend through a hotmail or gmail service for example hasn't been included in popular software such as vBulletin or phpbb or whatever other widespread scripts....
