What potential bunk bed buyer could resist this one. The word Dinosaur caught my eye, (you can tell who I hang out with) and what a clever advertising link.

Guess all that Army training actually would pay off. I don't really need this bunk bed, however. Huh, I lasted nearly a minute longer than you, boss.

I assumed there was going to be some type of cartoon at the end or something ha ha, but I guess that wouldn't be the best marketing move for kid's bunk beds. One thing I think they should of provided at the end of the test is a "take the test again" link. Overall, this was an affective form of link bait which probably took very little time to create.

I'd perhaps have done it in Flash so it was a little more interactive and immersive. 1m 9s – not too shabby – and it is a great viral marketing idea.

Great to have you on the site. Long time, no chat. Good point and I have to agree with you. And that has also been a point I have debated internally. How useful is linkbait that ultimately doesn't convert your traffic? Or that is off topic from what your site sells or service you provide. I assume the word bunk beds is part of the link to the site and the owner is hoping that massive amounts of links to this page with the term bunk bed will help raise the overall site's ranking. As of today 9/2/08 there were 74 backlinks according to Yahoo. But no ranking in the top 100 for the term bunk beds in Google. Time will tell if this is good strategy. Hi, Debra.
