Richard Giles will be delivering a seminar on how to get an audience on the internet. Is it just enough to offer interesting content and monitor the website stats?

The interestingness measure on flickr can bring a new and much larger audience to photographers displaying their work on the site but it’s highly contentious as it is open to manipulation. How do you become interesting enough to become a viral sensation?
