How Can Google Buzz Make You Go Viral



Read More: Social Content

I have been doing some research on the notorious Google Buzz recently, and thought I would share what I have learned.

It is actually a whole lot better than Google have said themselves...Or maybe it’s just the way they said it that initially put me off.
 
Here is the bit they never told you – Free Viral advertising.
 
I thought that would get your attention, and it’s true. Google Buzz can be used as a great tool for viral advertising, and it does it in a way that people don't even realize they are helping to promote your company.
 
First of all I better explain what Google Buzz does as some of you will not have tried it yet.
 
In your Gmail account you will have noticed the “Buzz” option directly under your “Inbox.”
 
What Google Buzz does, is correlate all the pictures, RSS feeds, tweets and everything else, and makes a mega feed. This feed will appear in the Gmail accounts of the people you have granted access to.
 
There are two main ways you can set your privacy options, and they are let everyone see or don't.
 
What happens next is as you go about your normal business day, every time you send an email to someone Google Buzz tries to get them to look at your feed.
 
If they comment on your Google Buzz feed, then Google starts recommending that their Gmail contacts have a look to see what was said.
 
This is a just a basic run through of the process, as it is easy to understand when you are looking at it. 
 
The problem is that Google often annoy people, so when they released Google Buzz many marketers simply refused to even look at it.
 
When I realized just how viral Google Buzz actually is, I had to come on here and tell you all. 
 
I know Google are big and annoying. And yes they seem to be trying to take over the whole of the internet, but some of the things they make really are good. Take Google Analytics for example, or Adwords. Many businesses simply couldn't function without the big G but still many resent them.
 
Set aside your old grudges and issues and think of an entirely free viral campaign, completely paid for and maintained on your behalf by Google. That is what Google Buzz actually is.
 
Will I be using Google Buzz much myself? You better believe it.
 
One word of caution though.
 
If the thing you put on Google Buzz are going to be recommended to your business acquaintances and their friends, be careful of what you put there.
 
The best feature in my opinion is that Google Buzz actually will build you a follower list automatically, and that ain't bad.
 
So that is the good news, but what about the bad. 
 
Well Google Buzz is a great addition to your marketing, and although a little invasive in my opinion, could be a real help. With that said it does again lead you to invest more time and effort in building your business through Google. 
 
It’s a trade off, of privacy for advertising. As a marketer I can really see the advantage, and I am using it just because it makes me more money. 
 
What do you think?? 
 
Will you be using Google Buzz, or telling Google to Buzz off??
