Re: here is best way to promote for you newbies

Myspace can definitely bring in lots of traffic but it will most likely end up being undesired traffic for most companies but can work well for those offering services targeted towards the myspace audience, that's my personal opinion

Re: here is best way to promote for you newbies

I don't use MySpace but this genuinely fascinates me. Are there bots that can send out these messages just like mass emails? Or does MySpace have bot protection in place (that works) and it's all just contacting person after person manually?

Re: here is best way to promote for you newbies

I'm beginning to think that some of them are bots.
There's not really a way to tell; they have normal display pictures, normal profiles, normal names, but weird messages and a lot of spam.

There some product endorsers that creates fake accounts then use it to promote their products by spamming you gazzillions of bulletins and comments. I have a friend that uses a bot that is in charge of adding friends to spread the name of their band. tsk tsk.

Re: here is best way to promote for you newbies

So Tom posted a blog about how he is fixing the spam problem.

We've also been working really hard to cleanup the spam problem. In december, Myspace passed Yahoo to become the #1 website in terms of page views. Myspace has become so huge it has attracted the attention of professional spammers. We have been working on blocking them for months and things have greatly improved since our latest code release on Wednesday. On the legal front, we won another case against a spammer. By a combination of legal action and anti spam filters, we hope to put an end to this all and put things back to normal!
You can fight the spam problem by educating yourself about phishing and not falling for their tricks. If you see a friend who is sending spam bulletins or comments, be sure to explain to them how they got phished and how to avoid it. We all work together to keep myspace spam free!
