Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA    | MySpace Promotion All the latest rage seems to be MySpace...maybe not ALL of it, but MySpace promotion is a big things these days. I'll be honest...I don't know much about it as far as techniques go...but has anybody ever done or seen MySpace promotion? I've heard about it bringing a lot of guests and then members to your forums, but I just don't see how you can target individuals...I figure MySpace promotion is only good for certain subjects? Not like forum owners...I mean, how many MySpace users are also forum owners? I don't know, it cant be a large percentage... If you know anything about this kind of promotion, let us know...do you just create your own profile with a link...or do you post comments in other profiles with a link....get existing members to put your link in their profile? I'm sure it's a combination of these things...but I'd kinda just like to fully understand how these MySpace promoters go about doing things

yes you are right... it is for the younger "group" (yea i nkow older ppl use it... but 85 % is teens and young adults )the only reason i don't use it very often (MySpace) is b/c it is so dam slow for me... (and i have DSL) so i tend just to go to faster sites...and get a lot more links out that way | |||||

| I haven't checked out MySpace but if I'm not mistaken, isn't it very similar to LiveJournal.com? LiveJournal allows you to create a place of your own to post pretty much whatever you want. Very similar to a blog but for those without the domain, hosting, etc.

| I'd say that MySpace and LiveJournal are more common than you think. I just checked out both further and here's what I gathered from each site: MySpace Quote:

MySpace is also a bit larger/more populer than LiveJournal...I don't know a whole lot about either, but I would imagine that promotion through MySpace would be easier and more effective because it seems like the "friend" aspect and large social networks are more important - so more people would see your link.
