How can I make my video go viral?

I just finished making a video that I think has the potential to go viral. It involves a mash-up of some of Mel Gibson's phone messages. What tips do you have on helping a video go viral?

Also, which blogs should I email my video to? For example, Huffington Post features lots of YouTube videos and tells their members to email them funny content to comedytips@huffingtonpost.com.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Simply add tags of significant values in media, politics, and the latest castraphic events of popular interest. Big hollywood names, big political events/names; Try to make it pop out.... I've tested this using a few videos on myspace, paranormal activities marked as new draw ppl to watch, as more views come in it may go "viral". I had over a million views on one video and it was only UFC fights highlights. It was removed due to "copyright infringement", even though I thought I had taken everything out using windows movie maker to edit it..... obviously it was popular enough to cause stress somewhere. Probably Tito Ortiz fans....

It was Chuck Lidell beating up on Tito Ortiz in one of the reels that I made a Font on that said "Can you SEE?" with heavy metal. I enjoyed the experience, lol.

To put it simply, it's all in the tags; even if you stray a little.....

Best, Newest, Most popular, Free, OBAMA (ROFL) examples.

A viral video is one that becomes popular through the process of internet sharing, typically through video sharing websites and email. Viral videos often contain humorous content and include televised comedy sketches, such as Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday and Dick in a Box, amateur video clips like Star Wars Kid, the Numa Numa videos, The Dancing Cadet, The Evolution of Dance, the "Benny Lava" video, Chocolate Rain on YouTube; and web-only productions such as I Got a Crush... on Obama. Some "eyewitness" events have also been caught on video and have "gone viral," such as the Battle at Kruger.

Humor is often a characteristic of viral videos, but not a defining one. A viral video is any video that's passed electronically, from person to person, regardless of its content.

With the proliferation of camera phones, many videos are being shot by amateurs on these devices. The availability of inexpensive video editing and publishing tools allows video shot on mobile phones to be edited and distributed virally, by email or website, and between phones by Bluetooth or MMS. These consumer-shot videos are typically non-commercial, intended for viewing by friends or family.

Honestly, what matters the most is content, content, content. If the item is really awesome, it will do well if it gets even minor exposure. I would recommend posting it as a response to one of the actual Mel videos on YouTube, as your vid will typically have nice real estate if you a video response. Of course post it to your Facebook (or other social networks). If you are really trying to push it, you can submit it to all of the major aggregate sites like reddit.com, digg.com and the like. The rest should come naturally from word of mouth if the content is worthy!

Usually a full, original answer is more effective than a link, especially if you are looking to get Best Answer :)
