Will this go Viral?

    Brand new videos on the internet such as this one have potential to go viral. I've recorded this from another website and then posted it on youtube with my watermark. Is this allowed and is it going to viral?

    I would suggest it would depend on how original/appealing the content is.

    Pimp the video using SN tools and see

    What is SN tools? I searched it in google but it didn't seem to be relevant to video editing. Unfortunately my vid has no sound... The sound isn't important but it makes it feel crappy.

    I agree, it's all about the content.

    If it's funny/entertaining and original, then it will probably go viral.

    As for the baby bouncing, I find it original, but not funny or entertaining enough to spread the word.

    But I think what you are doing by uploading interesting and original videos to YouTube and using a watermark is a powerful marketing technique.

    I agree, it's more interesting than anything. I have a source on the internet where vids come through before they get anywhere near youtube so I guess I'll have to wait for something extraordinary.

    Or... I could just stop freeloading and put some money into creating a viral vid :)

    If you could create your own "very funny" videos, then I guess, it would be no reason for it not to go viral.

    We all remember the star wars kid :)

    I saw someone post up a topic on this thread about 3 days ago saying "Do you guys think this will go viral?". He had obviously invested in actors/props/equipment to get this vid made but 2 days later and I see his video on the front page of the very popular media site www.break.com. Here's the vid he had.

    It might go viral from outrage.

    It's a very simple yet powerful tool for Internet Marketing. You have to make sure the domain name you watermark is somewhat related to the video though. Might want to put up a funny video and say more videos can like this can be found at a certain domain.
