yes they can, bypassing the msplinks is ver helpfull for advertising on myspace, without it you will never have any success.
I am not sure about this. MySpace redirects EVERY link through msplink.com/ this makes it easy for them to shut down phish scams and what not. But with this method it will bypass that filter.
As I said in my first post I found it on another forum, also I dont use MySpace to promote so I shared it with people that could maybe find it useful, aren't I nice??
