    You can either shock or impress people to gain word-of-mouth market share. Really depends on what line of business you are in.

    Adding an e-mail service is one example of viral marketing. Several companies offer this service, whereby you can offer visitors to your site the opportunity to sign up for an e-mail address using your domain. For example, the rocketscientists.ca site has one. If Bill Gates and Yahoo! can do it, so can anybody else. And everybody who signs up for the service, and e-mails THEIR contacts, then does you a marketing service, because everybody who receives an e-mail might potentially go visit the domain. Of course, you'd need an eye-catching domain.

    Utilizing filesharing networks like Bit Torrent to bring in sustained traffic. Perhaps if you're selling software or something you upload to a bunch of bit torrent sites to get some exposure.

    Write press releases about something related to your site and get them published on the web with a backlink to your site. Can bring in lots of traffic.
