Some of the method are common, just applied differently, word of mouth applies heavy in the virtural world as in the real world. If you have a good service or product, it will snowball itself very quickly. Hotmail is a very good example of power of word of mouth, some people called it viral marketing. There are also a major difference for web marketing, there is no physical boundary at all, you can located in Russia and sell into USA.
