The fact that this article was written suggests that the viral nature of the campaign is alive. Perhaps conversion goals have not been met, but the project is still skipping from tube to tube through the Internets. Some viral campaigns become overnight sensations, like a one-hit wonder in the summer of '88. Others build a slow momentum.

There is certainly some merit to the suggestion that viral works best when humor is involved. As a matter of fact, humor is the topic most likely to become viral, according to a Sharpe Partners Study last year.

Perhaps more important than being immediately viral is being sticky and ever present so that the campaign can bring awareness over time rather than a quantity of clicks in a specific period of time.

Best of luck with the Aids Click-a-thon.

All the best

Ok I did it all... Well except the Digg.com thing. Maybe when I have time I will go back to that page and read up to see if I want to join. I didn't have any Idea what Digg was. Although I thought I might. You see, on another audio - video Pod Casting web site, they use the term "Dig it" to let someone know that you like them or their music or video. But Digg.com is a site I have not yet come across. I think, probably the best thing for this campaign has just happened. This Article... It sure got me clickin:) I have a Pastor friend in Uganda who need help too. He also is helping Children there in Uganda and right now he needs Bibles to give away. But I have no Idea how help him myself. I'm watching for good Ideas, but most everyone has their own thing they are raising money for and are of course mostly focused on that. As with "One". I'm sure the biggest factor with their success are the Celebrities involvement. I am a singer - song writer my self, but relatively unknown. I have two albums online now and all available for free downloads. I have hoped to receive donations with which to help start a ministry to help children and teens. Admittedly I have not finished out my web pages with donation buttons as I need to. But I have joined several music download sites, as well as youtube and of course myspace. Actually I have about as many "friends' on myspace as the AIDS Clickathon, but I have been a member for allot longer, at least a year, can't remember... Anyway, the one thing I have learned about "Social Sites" is, that in order to gain "friends" AKA traffic, is to Be Social. Everyone I have seen who have gained allot of exposure on these sites, spends allot of time on them just "being social". Other than some wild or weird or sexy video, just being social is what I see working. I for one just don't have it in me to spend hours a day just chatting or posting comments online. Yes, I'm doing it right now!;) But this one is different, this is important to me... I hope and pray to find a way to help sick and starving children. You see I suffer from illness myself that has completely taken my ability's to make a living my self. If it were not for my family, I don't know where I would be now. Incidentally, I have been a member and have a small web site on OurChurch.com since 2001 and have a small free site there my self. These guys have been there since 1996, so I bet they will figure something out soon, which will work to help this important cause Charity.

Sure, you didn't hit your target, but you raised $1,500. I would say keep on, keeping on. A lot of the "mistakes" you made can probably be overcome by time.

More time to fix things, more time to build trust, more time to build traffic, etc.

I certainly wouldn't give up after your first attempt.
