Free advertising using Myspace

I was wondering how people are using Myspace for free advertising. I've heard about this, but would appreciate it if someone explained more.

Thanks!

 

first step is to get a lot of friends using bots. Then you send them bulletins advertising your site or comment on their page. You can also put links or banners on your profile, and you can also place links under the pictures. That's pretty much it.

 

Does this actually work? Are people making money doing this?

 

Definately works, just gotta get banners etc. up. Everyones there to network!

 

It works quite well. People can sell bulletins and other forms of myspace advertising for money, if you own your own myspace account with a lot of friends or buy from other people you will get a nice chunk of visitors, depending on the site and target audience.

 

I have a site that makes myspace advertising easy!

Check out
www.FriendFrost.com, enter your myspace id, and add away! Easy publicity!

 

I'm a little worried about doing that when this article was in the news today:

interesting BUT jeez, that's like the utmost end of the spectrum. are you planning on phishing thousands of accounts solely to spam like this jackass apparently did?

are you going to send millions of bulletins?

I doubt it.

They can't even keep phishing schemes off their site let alone find and track normal users you send a few messages, comments, bulletins and so forth.

Worst case, your account would get flagged or deleted

 

The way I use to do it worked perfectly and I never got one complaint out of 12xxx friends. All I did was target my niche crowd and just simply add them I never sent them messeges, comments or bullitens just simply added them and the majority of them added me as a friend and then looked at my site.

 

Its easy but dont post too many bulletins or your account will get deleted.

 

smart!! and I think that's the biggest determining factor on how you approach the mysp marketing gig, understanding the niche!

or too many messages, comments, friend requests. they really dropped the hammer on lots of profiles. I see 17 red X's a day (accounts getting flagged).

the 'funny' thing is 55% of them are music profiles...myspace biggest push in the early days was for musicians and now they are treating them like month old moldy cheese
