And by "comercial" I don't think piticu was talking about how cute the girl is :) My point exactly. figures may or may not be relevant in this particular case but following reactions in the blogosphere easily led me to the idea that most of the people became aware more that there are unqualified journalists out there then the whole idea of the campaign.

Piticu is referring to something else in that post ;) And you calculus could be right for some industries but it is not a general thing to take into consideration. @VVladescu in my opinion viral videos are more about generating awareness than selling products.

Put it like this : you have website selling a product , you get 250k visits on the frontpage , out of which 100k hit the buy now button but finally only 10 decide to buy. IMHO , that's quite a poor conversion rate. That is exactly why I started raising questions at past events. You see , I think in ROmania users are like .. global stumblers. You can indeed reach a large amount of audience but what about the value of the audience?

And the original clip had more than 250.000 views in only one day, it was the 5th most viewed on youtube that day. So with our 10.000 views we are far away.:) http://i38.tinypic.com/mk9pj5.jpg . here is my last screenshot before the original clip was removed for copyright issues Tudor, thanks for the kind words but we’ll see the true potential of our viral only in the next few days.
