			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trends are the greatest and strongest element of the internet today. They grow fast, they grow big, and they grow everywhere. The reason for this is simple, people love to share and the internet lets you share like nothing else can. So what does this mean for all our internet businesses? A new marketing strategy that is so cost effective, it practically feels like it is for free. If you have ever used a <a href="http://blog.kaizenet.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blog.kaizenet.com?referer=');">web site blog</a>, signed up for a social network, use instant messaging, or even use e-mail, then chances are, you’re already familiar with these various internet click-magnets that will draw audiences to your site.</p>
<p>LOL cats are love. Indeed, you will see that phrase and derivates of it all over the internet, along with an accompanying picture of a very cute kitten or a cat doing something or posed in a way that will make anyone fawn over it. The texts contained in these images are usually written with the grammar of a toddler, making it appear that it is the cat saying the phrase. By carefully creating your own LOL cat image as a promotion, you could potentially increase the web visibility of your product. If you place LOL cats on your site, you could use it to bring more hits as well.<br />
<span id="more-182"></span><br />
&#8220;I can has cheeseburger&#8221; should not be confused with LOL cats. Despite being in the same vein, and probably a derivative of the LOL cat phenomenon, the &#8220;can has&#8221; cats are a signature culture on their own. The idea is the same wherein a cute cat image is used, but this time the cat is featured as staking a claim on a specific item, thus the &#8220;can has&#8221; phrase. Like the LOL cats they combine something funny with something cute, creating an extremely adorable and share-inducing image.</p>
<p>Motivational posters feature a more mature and educated idea when it comes to being funny, ironic and downright catchy. Based on the idea of actual motivational posters used in offices, motivational posters on the internet are created for a more ironic and though-provoking laugh from the viewers as the contents are usually more satirical, silly and paradoxically humorous. </p>
<p>Implementing these <a href="http://blog.kaizenet.com/website-promotion-help-guides" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blog.kaizenet.com/website-promotion-help-guides?referer=');">web site promotion</a> methods in a website is not an easy task. You need to balance the comedy factor with the fact that you are running a business. Always ensure that these are only used to draw traffic in, your business still has to do the rest.</p>
