Plants disperse their seeds in various ways like attaching to animals, floating in water, or being carried by wind to reach new locations. This document suggests emulating plants' dispersal mechanisms to distribute ads effectively. It proposes giving ads a three-layered structure like seeds and using curiosity-grabbing hooks to catch readers' attention, so the ads can be carried by digital "winds" through social media and word-of-mouth referrals to new audiences, similar to how plants' seeds are dispersed long distances.

cashew has a sweet and

Seeds have adapted
structures to float on
water such as having a
foamy structure, coating
that keeps the seeds
afloat and having light
fibrous structures

13. Seeds Explosion
Fruits like balsam
burst with a
sudden jerk and
disperse the seeds
by an explosive
mechanism

14. Wind Carrying Seeds-2
Some seeds spin like helicopters as they
fall from the tree, providing a longer time
for dispersal by wind

15. Dispersing Ads Seeds

megabytes will not have the
proper structure for such media

seed like popcorn erupts at high altitudes. This
works as a hook and for ad distribution
