Does Going Viral Help With SEO? Not Really

I love some of the things I see from digital pr, it’s a shame it often gets bucketed with the spammy kind of link building. The coverage of this event was amazing and generated the kind of virality digital PR folks dreamed about. Overall, it looks like all those new links from going viral don’t have much impact on its rankings. Still, this is the most plausible example I can find of viral links possibly helping—and even then it’s not so cut and dry. They want to jump right into working on more interesting and creative digital PR campaigns.
