  <body-formatted>&lt;p&gt;I've not seen much coverage of the following viral marketing research so wondered what the Econsultancy online community thought about it. We've written an &lt;a href="http://www.fuseo.co.uk/search-engine-optimisation-consultation/viral-message-research-has-commercial-impact-for-seo-firms.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; for my SEO and online marketing firm's website (so forgive any poetic licence) - but see what you think:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research model shows how viral messages spread across the Internet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A predictive model that can forecast the spread of viral messages across the Internet has been published by e-business and mathematical researchers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SEO firms, online marketers and consultants will be interested in the findings that demonstrate an ability to understand how new information spreads when it is propagated on the worldwide web.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Known colloquially as 'going viral', these online messages or Internet memes can sometimes spread rapidly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the researchers, it is possible to predict how many people will receive the memes to within a 1% error rate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The match between prediction and result using the model has been described as "remarkable" in the New Scientist magazine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fuseo.co.uk/search-engine-optimisation-consultation/viral-message-research-has-commercial-impact-for-seo-firms.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;More details about the research&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
