I'm new I'm sorry if this is the wrong category! I have a myspace account here http://www.myspace.com/142992062 I made it unprivate for the timebeing for the thread.. I was wondering since the recent crack down on spam and the blocking of bot captcha bypass is there a want for MySpace marketing anymore? I need money point black, ha. I've been noticing the selling of MySpace accounts on this site..and I noticed all of the accounts are full of just random friends list. I mean I actually know my friends list. They trust me. Wouldn't my advertising get a better reception then just some random guy posting bulletins? I joined Myspace December 28 2006. 10 months later I have 5 thousand friends and that's natural...no bots..no actively adding everyone. On a "bad" day I get 40 friend requests. More active I am I get 50-60. I get about 800-1200 profile views a day. Could this reasonably translate into something?
Well, actually what you see here, those selling of myspace accounts or spams are all againsts MySpace policies and as always, there are people here who does not care about breaking rules just so that they can make a couple of bucks. If you spam your friends too often, I am sure they would slowly but surely leave you. If not, MySpace may just terminate your account. Whatever it is, you are not supposed to use MySpace for anything commercial so if you want to comply with the rules, there is no option to make money there. Of course, they are pretty much open to marketing if you are a musician trying to break out into the industry.
You can still post bulletins to your friends but they delete profiles when they see spam. About a year or so ago myspace was the place for marketing. I made about $35k alone just from myspace marketing..lol Now it's harder. I dont trust buying bulletin posts anymore. People can post a bulletin and then delete it after couple hours and take your money and you're screwed. Most of them don't want to add you as a friend because they think you will report them to myspace.
You can send out affiliate links to your friends though. I doubt it will work but many had did it though.
Read http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.terms and make sure you do not violate anything there
You can make some money, but it's not that easy. It needs a lot of time and you won't have that much money earnt. There are better ways to earn money.
It is still possible IMHO. All one needs is the myspace friends adder robot and request up to 500 friends a day per account - forget about bulletins . This way you will get a lot of hits to your myspace page that can be "tweaked" with CSS to direct visitors to your "real" sales page .
The most efficient way is to use CSS to cover the entire content of your profile with a link to your landing page/site.
MySpace, or I should say Fox News Corp, is getting more aggressive pursuing these tactics. I personally would stay away, but then, I am not a gambling man.
Of course it would, so you lose that account.... what is the biggie? I know people making some real money with this tactic. Of course it is called spamming.
Sure, add the following code to your profile: <a href="http://www.yoursite.com" style="position:absolute; top:0px;background-repeat:no-repeat;left:0px; height:980px; width:1300px;background-position:left;"> Code (markup): Warning: only add this code if you do not care about the account being banned.
