doihavepigflu.com + Amazon = genius
What do you get when you take swine flu media frenzy, stir in some ingenuity and an Amazon Associates link? A recipe for “viral” success.
J. P. DeFillippo put up the site a couple of days ago, and was already reporting 125,000 unique hits late Thursday night. The site is great for a laugh, and has been spreading quickly on the ‘net, especially on Twitter.
The beauty of his plan? Click on the big “No” and you are taken to an Amazon page for a flu mask.
Not buying a flu mask? That’s OK. But if you end up buying something else at Amazon in the next few weeks, Mr. DeFillipo will earn an Associates commission, since you visited Amazon through his link.
Brilliant.
(Oh, and now he’s got me blogging about it, too. Wonder if he’ll give us a report on his earnings?)
