I just read a great post about a site that’s about a year old and it gets 5,000,000 unique visitors every month.
While there is some luck to getting of traffic and going viral, there’s a bit of a science to it too. Much of it comes down to the topic you choose and how you present it.

Nick,
thanks for providing the link to this interesting guide.
I got some good ideas on creating some viralness into my sites and newsletters and hope (no, hope is not the right word. it should better be WORK) to increase my readership and conversions.
It's definitely one of the best articles on viral marketing I have read in a while.
It made me dig out a survey script I bought some time ago and didn't really make use of. I am just in the process of scripting my survey questions. Hope to have things setup in two days (page design, content on page etc. still needed).
Very interesting link and now I am a big fan of that website. Those are definitely way to get your site to viral. It doesn't work in all verticals but there are some good tips that can be used widely.
This video was awesome. He is such a great graphic artist. I went to his site and it looks great! It's amazing he get's so much traffic. Congrats!

Cool. How exactly are you making your sites and newsletters more viral? I am curious about this.
