is spamming myspace guestbooks with your url that has adsense not good?

spamming is not advisable.... but its not too risky

 

isn't msplinks in the myspace guestbooks??

so it would not help with SEO?

and get your url filtered from myspace for life.

or isnt it used in that section yet?

if not it probly will be soon spammers wreck every thing for the normal web users.

 

Oh, for Pete's sake, as long as you don't do it automatically by the thousands, it's perfectly okay.

 

Spammers should be thrown out of treetops. Most annoying, why would you want to promote your business in an unethical manner anyway? Can't be good in the long run at all.

 

good luck with that, noob... i'd suggest that you start searching right now

adsense is supposed to be about publishers enabling conversions for the advertisers... your myspace traffic is so lousy that ypn has banned publishers who cater to that crowd.

and google has banned publishers who advertised with adwords... if it doesn't convert, and it's too crappy to be smart-priced, you'll be gone.

 

Myspace traffic lousy? My stats say otherwise. I don't think you realize how much traffic I am getting and will continue to get from Myspace. And NO search engine is going to tell me that I have to stop. There ARE other ad companies out there, one that isn't so strict and one that doesn't try to control everything that you do. And if it's not PPC then there is always affiliates. Contrary to popular belief, life after Google is still profitable. Just ask Digg. My main goal is to make my site very popular, not cater to Google's TOS, especially when that company is the biggest hypocrite on the web. The people who think it's only Google are the ones who fail. Because once that is taken away from them they basically give up. When I'm doing SEO, I'm doing it for ask, live, yahoo, and as well as Google and many others. When I'm advertising, I use many programs, not just Adwords. If Google wants to ban me for trying to be successful then so be it, there are many other sites and search engines that I can use to make money and advertise.

 

I use MySpace as well to generate a lot of traffic, but what I do is far from spamming.

 

"MySpace.com and Yahoo Publisher Network apparently don't mix
... But if you happen to be monetizing with MySpace and using Yahoo Publisher Network, you may get your account suspended, even if you have non-MySpace sites on your account as well... The article also states that MySpace only gets slightly over $0.10 CPM ($0.10 per one thousand impressions) across the network, which is extremely low."

Myspace can be a good way to bring traffic to your site, but spamming I would try and stay away from, try using bulletins with your url to redirect traffic for a way to help generate some traffic

 

Ok, i was going to quote all the people giving you the wrong answer, but there were far too many. Here it is, plain and simple, confirmed by adsense support in the past by yours truly.

Spamming, or posting on third party sites falls under "encouraging clicks". How you may ask? Remember how you read over the TOS before you joined...? Well take a closer read. Specifically under "encouraging clicks", and you will find:

Yes, this includes posting links on other peoples websites, including guestbooks, and even forums.

How will they catch me you may ask? I will admit, they won't catch everyone, someone has to report you first. Once you have been reported by one webmaster, or myspace owner, they look for similar links, and if they find that its spam(similar posts/messages that appear to be posted automatically, or even jsut copied and pasted), they will ask you to stop immediately, or your account WILL BE BANNED. Like i said, I have personally confirmed this in the past, this isnt just my opinion.

 

B2UEntertainment, I hope you get kicked out of Adsense, don't try to give yourself some air of legitimacy, you sound exactly like those sociopath spammers that clutters everyone's mailboxes and harass people on a daily basis. Spamming is unsolicited bulk emailing but it also applies to any other technique where you abuse others people resources without their consent on a massive basis. Google would be in their right to remove your trash site from their index for the benefit of their users, or remove you from their ad program for breaching their guidelines. Google can decide to do business with whoever they want, and spammers are not respectable partners, or humans for that matter. It's no surprise many of them are actually related to organized crime.

What you are doing is not "advertising", it is abuse. If you can't tell the difference, you should start reading.

 

Wow, there is no reason to flame me in defense of Google. Calling me a sociopath and saying that spammers are related to organized crime? What is wrong with you? Totally uncalled for and just down right baffling. I'm talking about Google here, and their ad program and search engine policies, why are you calling my site trash? Like I said before, I don't send out emails at all, just send messages to people on Myspace, guess that makes me a sociopath? You do realize that Myspace used this method to advertise their site right? Hell, I still have one of their emails that they sent out a while back. And look at them now, sitting as one of the top sites on the internet, the talk of almost every school in existence and getting paid 600 million to put a search box on their site. Google knows what Myspace did to get where they are right now, but they don't care because they are getting millions on top of millions of page views a day, yet if some other site did the same thing, they would be de-indexed and banned from Adsense, don't you find this hypocritical? Don't preach legitimacy then support a "sociopathic organized crime" site like Myspace. Listen, I'm not trying to start a flame war with anyone, just expressing my dislikes about Google and their policies. No need for name calling. I work very hard on my sites but I would rather be governed by the U.S. Government not Google. Get what I'm saying?

 

Agreed, spam is always bad. Karma will get you in the end...

 

hey hey hey.....about the third party deal.....

so getting your site posted on digg, and if your lucky, you do get to the front page....google will ban you since thats a third party website!????????

all the pages that make it to digg front page, when you visit them, all have google adsense on them.

 

Like I said, advertising on third party sites is a clear violation of adsense TOS. Does that mean they are going to ban 90% of the members here(including me) for putting a link in their sig? Of course not. That rule was put place to prevent spam and other malicious acts that give google a bad name.

Simply use your common sense, and you will be ok.
