Viral (or "social") marketing is Web 2.0 (which is already old news, really)...keywords and SEO, that's almost worthless. Google no longer places such an emphasis on keywords; it's like the very last consideration. The secret is that there is no secret. All these online marketing techniques are thoroughly described online! *Never* pay for any "secrets"...the truth is right at our fingertips.

EG you have articles in the directories, audio in the Podcast directories and video in the You Tubes etc That's how you then get your site to rank, not through trying to manipulate the SEs through SEO tactics. SEO is for the big guys with massive budgets - personal trainers can better spend their time elsewhere! Hi Guys,
