Viral marketing works for bloggers and users of Web 2.0 applications (see the latest Nett Magazine for an excellent article on business growth and Web 2.0). Awards, memes and blog bling is the viral equivalent for bloggy friends…the way we spread each other around.

My inbound links and trackbacks have slowed down. I think they have a healthy virus perhaps! They are spell bound. It was not until doing my regular blogroll visitation (it is very important to visit other bloggers if you aim to survive atop the blogosphere - I am sure that is why I am number 9 Aussie Woman blogger - I visit and receive visitors regularly) that I discovered the serene Tiff over at Three Ring Circus had sent me a kiss by way of a Spread the Love award (pictured). Thanks Tiff.

The idea of the award is to spread it, like a virus - hence, love is a virus worth marketing. I spread my little bit of love to three people:

1. one new blogger, Keran from Birdwing Therapies
2. one blogger whom has inadvertently denied himself from many of you little gems out there simply by not knowing about the same social networks that we all use. Go visit internationally renowned Aussie marketing guru and ambassador of the Abused Child Trust, Andrew Griffiths, at his blog of the same name. Invite him into our networks, into the top 100 Aussie Bloggers list and enjoy his invitation to learn from his wealth of marketing expertise,
3. and one blogger to be - Paul Martin, my husband, with his soon to be released Husband Humour. It is quite a humourous wait as he ponders on how and when he will launch his new blog. Waiting, darling, waiting! I hope you don’t end up with a post humorous award I think that given he’s using his wife’s antics as blog fodder, he has failed to find any husband humour moments to blog upon.

You three must now spread the love to other bloggers and in doing so, create good blog karma and strong cyber pathways of high ethics, community and safety.

And…on the topic of social networks and blogging as a business growth platform, I am keen to start a Cairns Business Bloggers community. If you know any Cairns based bloggers (business or non business, please leave me their link so I can make contact with them.

Edit: I really do have some serious time delays happening with incoming links and memory! Sorry Jeanie in Paradise, I missed your Excellence award to me. That’s not very excellent of me!!!!! I was just checking comments on your site to make sure that alleged bad person blogger wasn’t trying it on you, and, smack, I got an excellent one in the eye.

I pass the big “E” onto my sistersite, All for women. Have you seen our joint project, the Teddy Tour? It’s an excellent idea if I do say so myself.
