I am giving a practical example: you are visiting an e-commerce website where all the product listed there with best offers. if you got any odd offer like get 1000$ item in xx$ . you will go and find the details of offer. that offer is meant to surprise the visitor with strange offer.
You can also track open rate of emails with odd title. so you can get more response by sending odd titles in mails.
This surprise factor is major part of online viral marketing. this is a medium to distribute information to other.
if you want to surprise you visitor you need to do something odd. you can notice what viral campaign have odd stuff.
so following are some odd behaviors which you can try and see what response you will get. (note: do at your risk)
