MySpace - need some good advice for traffic building

Hi All,

I have decided to try MySpace as a traffic generator for my site. I have open and account, design my home page and located my revenant target group. i have for now 300 friends.

My site promote and sells software solution for this specific target group.

My question is - what is the best tactics to approach my new friends ? does Bulletin is the only option ? How can I increase the amount of new friends - adding them one by one ? I don't want to be seen as a spam...

Any good advice will be most appreciated.

These are my favorite:
Create a group about your software and invite all your friends.
Use the blog and invite people to subscribe.
refresh bulletins frequently (delete+replace)
put repost instructions at the bottom of each bulletin (e.g. reply to poster, highlight, copy, paste, post into new bulletin.
300 is a good start. You will need thousands.
You may also find Stumbleupon works for you. Good luck!

 

amanamission thank you for your fast respond...

refresh bulletins frequently - every day ? every week ? i don't want to be seen as a spammer that try to push people.

i added 300 in a week, will keep adding more.
By the way, my target group is ages 13-17.

 

myspace is a horrible source for traffic generation - its just a spam box now - before it might have been good - now its just a waste of time

 

Too much work at this point

 

Have you tried to hire myspace promoters to help you promote as well?

 

When I refresh a bulletin, I delete the earlier post and repost it. DO NOT repost the same bulletin without deleting the old one. Few of the same users see it each time...people don't spend a lot of time at the bulletin section. You have to figure that your bulletin is effectively gone after only a few minutes for most users.
If I really want to get attention for something, I'll refresh it three times a day. But, really, it's true...the traffic can be poor. I might get 40-50 hits off a bulletin round. I only use Myspace to get the ball rolling on new projects, mostly because my friends list is pretty targeted.

 

I would offer some advice but my account is temporarily screwed up.

 

thanks all,i am learnning how to get more traffic from myspace

 

Well, my profile was hosed last week so I am building up a new one. My goal is to build up a network of friends then try advertising services using bulletins.

 

A.K.A. Spam! lol

Seriously though, does this work in terms of receiving targeted traffic?

 

no it doesn't work...........unless you are spamming for porn related

 

Do you call all kinds of advertising "Spam". Anyway, I was just going to see if I could get any response.

 

I consider unwanted or unsolicited advertising as "Spam". I don't think myspace bulletins were made for what you are describing.

 

Everyone offers services or promotes events and various things on myspace, what I am going to do is along the same lines. I can even offer some kind of discount or something to people who mention my profile on myspace.
