Stupid advertising works?
Pocodot.
If you open up youtube and go to the popular music videos I bet that 80% of them will have top 2 comments with a word "pocodot" involved in them.
What is it? Well I've made a tiny reasearch and I've found out that it's some sort of facebook clone. From what I've read it's much more messy, hard to navigate and so on... But that's not the point.
I've made more research and I've found out that it seems that pocodot advertising staff made a bunch of youtube accounts and they started posting comments on popular videos and they pressed "thumbs up" to get that comment rated highly, so everyone could see it (comments are like "this is totally going to my pocodot profile", it inspires curiosity).
I can almost guarantee that that site traffic has skyrocketed, but will it last? I mean, they only got curious people that are fed up with "pocodot" spam and they want to find out what the hell is it. They will register, they will see it's another facebook, they'll probably leave, because they satisfied their curiosity.
I mean this is not targeted traffic, not people that are interested in social network.
So, do you think such "questionable" advertising works?
