What good is a campaign if success can’t be measured?
Viral Marketing is about two things, the referral rate (RR) and the take up rate (TR).
The referral rate is the number of referrals you get, divided by the total number of people asked to refer. So if 100 people were asked to refer their friends and 20 of them referred 1 friend each, that’s 20 referrals received. 20 / 100 = 0.2
The take up rate is the percentage of those marketing campaigns – if the referrals don’t take up the offer then you can’t add them to your mailing list. They have to opt-in or accept whatever it is you are offering. If 50% of those friends take up the offer then the TR=0.5
If you multiply RR x TR you get the Viral Efficiency (VE) ratio. In this case 0.2 x 0.5 = 0.1 or 10%. This means that if the viral campaign was to carry on, in other words, if those referrals generate other referrals, etc. then your database will increase by 10% for doing nothing. However, remember that those 10% are often HIGHLY QUALIFIED which makes them more valuable than normal leads.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary – Steve Jobs

Some doctor on TV this morning said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have begun. So I looked around my house to see things I’d started and hadn’t finished.
I have managed to finish off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Wicksey, a butle of wum, a pockage of Prungles, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valiuminun talbets, the res of the chesescke an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how bludy fablus I feel rite now.

How many Java programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
You’re still thinking procedurally. A properly designed light bulb object would inherit a change method from a generic light bulb class, so all you’d have to do is send a light bulb change message.
