We observed the propagation of recommendations and the cascade sizes, which can be explained by a stochastic dynamic model. We then established how the recommendation network grows over time and how effective it is from the viewpoint of the senders and receivers of recommendations. While on average recommendations are not very effective at inducing purchases and do not spread very far, there are product and pricing categories for which viral marketing seems to be very effective.
