Promoting with Myspace

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-13-2006, 04:08 PM

have you used Myspace to promote your sites ?

I have had some success in contacting some fans of a friends band. I've also seen some traffic for an arcade site using Myspace. I don't think it would help much here, but it's worth a try still :genius:

Have you guys had or tried to promote your sites with myspace ?

Here's a tried and true method for getting many visitors to your forum using myspace. First of all, if you are already on myspace, create another id. You might get shutdown for doing this. So, having said this, let's rock and roll!

1) Create a new id on myspace using the same name as your forum. (ex: if your forum name is WhateverDude.com , create your id of WhateverDude.com)
2) Upload a crazy pic. Those seem to attract more attention. You can use the attached pic if you like.
3) Join a myspace wh*re train. You'll get many friends adding you and you adding them.
4) Go through each friend and add a comment to their page promoting their site. You'll get tons of visitors to your site.

Advanced Users:

Before I tell you this, let me just state that I have NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY OF THE PROGRAMS I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU ABOUT EXCEPT FOR ME USING THEM MYSELF!

The methods that I just gave you take a while to do. Myspace limits you to 500 friend requests and 250 comments/day. That's still a lot to do manually. So, why do it? Here's your solution.

1) Auto Wh*re Train Joiner - here
2) Combo Pack (Auto Friend Request, Auto Messenger, Auto Commenter) - here

This method will DEFINITELY increase your traffic flow to your site!

**Greek76** · 01-07-2007, 03:55 AM

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-07-2007, 09:27 AM

**PC101** · 01-07-2007, 03:37 PM

I'll try it! Does #2 include the "Auto Wh*re Train Joiner?" Or, do I need to DL both??

Thanks!

there is a train script on this site (mine) Free-Myspace-Styles.com - Myspace Layouts, Myspace Codes, Myspace Generators, Myspace Tweaks

Mr Morningstarr* · 01-27-2007, 10:49 AM

Just been using the auto friend request, thanks for the link.

Just hope it gets results!

**tenshix** · 01-28-2007, 11:31 AM

Very nice. Imma go try this and see how well it works.
I've been just making Bulletins :\

**dprundle** · 01-30-2007, 08:25 AM

I've done myspace promoting for WVU Talk - and have had VERY successful results from a college based forum.

right on, glad it's worked out for you..
I've had a little success with some game sites I had, but I don't really use myspace much anymore.

**Rizzo** · 08-07-2007, 01:55 PM

The first link to a train isn't running any more

ok, I'll check it out

I don't like using the train script.

I have the adderbot and can add 200 friends on at a time. I always forget about posting bulletin..lol

btw, thanks for bumping this. It didn't get moved when we added the extra content.

**James** · 08-07-2007, 08:33 PM

Haven't they cracked down on a lot of the trains and adderbots?

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-07-2007, 09:13 PM

I'm not sure, I don't really keep up with it. I have 3 accounts that I'll build up from time to time and I keep expecting to login one day and be deleted..lol

I recently made one for F-Body Online, haven't really worked with it yet but got 1 or 2 members from it so far in a few weeks without even going out and pursuing anything.

Never been a fan of myspace as a personal thing, but it does work well as advertising :lol:

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-07-2007, 11:03 PM

It's got a huge memberbase, that's for sure

Yeah, MySpace is popular, but for some the wrong things, like predators. I don't know if people advertised it would be viewed as a positive thing or a negative thing (predator).

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-08-2007, 10:42 AM

One thing is for sure, myspace now add's a redirect to all external links so no link value on comments

You mean keywords in links? Yeah, that would be bad. I'd rather not use Myspace because of its infamous reputation as a place for child predators and what you just said.

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-09-2007, 02:23 PM

No, I mean the redirect that myspace puts on all external links. I think they will add mylinks.com/referral.php?= to the link

**Rizzo** · 08-09-2007, 03:07 PM

I must admit, that it's not my customer base really.

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-09-2007, 03:52 PM

I had some success with free arcade sites

or Proxy sites, myspace ppl like proxies.

I think everyone likes proxies. :rofl:

Were you trying to advertise vBulletin Setup at Myspace? Or another forum of yours? I see an Arcade here but I'm sure vB setup doesn't provide a proxy service or even provides links to them.

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-09-2007, 05:06 PM

I've posted a few bulletins for vBSetup but I mainly used it to promote an arcade site I've since sold.

I still send out invites for my 3 accounts every now and then just in case I have a site to promote to that age group. I usually just forget about it and it sits on my desktop.

**OS Master** · 08-09-2007, 05:17 PM

Thanks for clearing that up. Well my site is about operating systems; there could be some geeks like us (that's a good thing!) on Myspace, although I think most people on Myspace are into games, news, and iPods.

**lombardo** · 02-06-2008, 01:34 PM

I've been promoting on myspace since i started my forum (about a month ago) ive not had much success with it,i find Facebook is better for it as you can mass message your friends.

here is my myspace i promote with myspace.com/ucsampdoriauk

**Brandon Sheley** · 02-07-2008, 10:57 AM

I see myspace is opening up their API like facebook did

**lombardo** · 02-07-2008, 12:48 PM

what does that mean mate?

**Garala** · 02-07-2008, 01:44 PM

Promoting with MySpace doesn't really work well most of the times,unless you go spamming people telling them to join.

Social Networking is a better way of promoting.
