Default Is this genius ot not?

Could be an amazing traffic traffic driver if it takes off. The only downside I see is that it's untargeted traffic but the traffic volume potential is massive.

What is perhaps genius is the idea itself and the execution.

The Golden Jigsaw

I have to admit I wish I'd have thought of it.

There will be the negative detractors I know but I have to take my hat off to these folks, it's a very clever idea.

I think any genius is more about the million bucks than anything viral. It's a twist to actually use the income from selling pieces to drive traffic, but not a particularly genius twist.

Many viral efforts generate good to massive traffic for as little as $50.

This particular effort sounds like the next evolution of The Million Dollar Homepage. A good rethinking of the concept with some originality. It would be a mark of genius if this "form" became the template for a type of viral marketing. By this I mean spawning something like direct mail contest promotions (Publisher's Clearinghouse) rather than ten thousand third-rate knockoffs (like Million Dollar Homepage).

I think it's a good idea. My quibble is the "monkey-see, monkey-do" aspect of the web, where any modestly good effort is copied in the worst possible way. What should happen is a dozen improvements and even more clever thinking to take the original idea, and build on it by imitators. It seems to me there is some potential here for a dozen inventive variations.

just because a site says something is viral doesn't make it so. viral is based on word-of-mouth and i don't see many people talking about another million dollar homepage.

I like it. Should this forum have a section for viral marketing strategies? Sure would be useful.
