I've been slowly chipping away at the MySpace stuff trying to draw traffic by posting and joining a couple of sites. Not particularly easy because I'm in a very niche crowd, but one day... all of MySpace shall bow before me!
I did absolutely nothing but message back and forth with a couple of people on MySpace and I get 150 uniques/day to the site in my profile.
I promote a club night on there and have linked up with a lot of useful people - artists, DJs and the like. There's a fair amount of crap there but some useful stuff too.
I created a myspace page a whille back when it just started to get popular... I wasn't sure what it was, but I figured it would be a good thing to have incase I needed to use it..... Still not sure what I am doing with it though, but here it is... www.myspace.com/clasione It's even got some pagerank
Lol - I only set up a fake account a week ago, as a member of the female sex and I've already had two offers of rampant sex and three requests for naked photos. Us men are pigs... Not seeing traffic yet, but must add some links...
You probably know this already since you created a female page, but I know girls myspace pages are getting the most views.....
I also created a female page 2 days ago and I have about 250 friends! About 10 requested naked pictures!
I created a profile a week ago and posted a pic of a teen girl suckin on a lolly sugggestivley and so far I have 700 friends, most all guys. Some of them repeatedly asking me to meet them or one deranged chinese guy always asking "you come live me with baby, i be good to you" I am making a site with myspace glitter comment icons, funny movies, stories, games etc. Im gunna start promoting it next week. Hopefully it will take off like a landslide. I figure as it is now I probably have a marketing ability to reach about 20k myspace ppl. Assuming out of the 700 friends they have an average of at least 20ppl as friends looking at thier profiles.
Not too sure if anyone has mentioned it but myspace seems full of kids almost. If your target market is that, it might work.
Yah, my target audience is age 18-25yr old guys and girls. The ones with the most cash to burn and yes my site im making is very optimized to suit the needs and wants of this group
Found an interesting article about mySpace concerning monitoring by police and other agencies. http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/topnews/wpn-60-20060203PoliceLookToMySpaceForSexPredators.html
it makes a ton of sense, and I believe it's not a bad thing to monitor a cyber playground for teens and preteens, but it still sucks that it has come to that.
Baby Boomers have way more money than any other generation. Too bad most of them suck with computers.
Most of the people on myspace are young, with little or no money, if your trying to sell something, myspace is not the place.
Today's kids are tomorrow's customers when you focus long term. Snap out of the Adsense click thru mentality
Rofl yeah they are. Most kids have more disposable income than thier parents. Think about it, they live at home, most of them for little or no rent. They hold jobs that make 8-12 bucks an hour. That translates to like 1500-2100 bucks a month to throwaway. Now look at most parents who are locked into mortgages and carpayments, insurance, etc, etc. . . I know I had more disposable income than my parents at 18, and Im sure a ton of other kids have cash to burn everymonth.
