Internet Marketing Tycoon

Ok, I've got a couple of questions.

I import 400 IDs at a time into BadderAdder (the bot that I use). I've been doing this for a long time, and have been fine, however, I'm hearing that 350 should be the limit? I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this.

Then, I've been hearing a lot about starting out by sending 150 friend requests at a time, and then after doing that for a while, starting to do more like 350? It seems like this has been working for some people, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a real reason why doing it this way would make a difference?

Was this just a guess that seemed to work, or is it actually a reflection of what MySpace looks for when they are shutting down accounts?

In terms of timing: I ususally send 1 batch of friend requests each day (per profile), but I don't necessarily wait a full 24 hours. Does anyone know how MySpace's limits work in terms of timing?

I haven't been getting shut down, but I also don't want to put my profiles in too much risk.

I've gotten the message from Myspace before that's like "you can't do that and it may be because you have exceeded your daily limit" - and that's fine by me, but...

Will they always give you an error message if you are friending too much, or do they have a 'cone of silence' type state?

Will it help if I wait a full 24 hours between batches?

Thanks

On brand new accounts, if you go over 150 or so a day, myspace will either delete them or 'lock them out' for about a week. When they're locked out, you can go thru the friend request process, and it says it sent the invite, but the new requests don't show up on the pending request list. Eventually, if you stop adding for a week or so, the accounts will be re-enabled.

Once the account is a few weeks old, you can send up to 400/day without much concern. You will still get the random delete here or there, but they'll remain pretty stable.

Note that this advice is in regards to friend requests. If you start messaging, you can get deleted very quickly. I believe this is because it is very easy for a user to report you as spam since there is a 'spam' button below every message.

Example....i recently signed up 12 accounts. Within a day, half of them were deleted, and all the others were 'locked out'. After about 1 week, the locked out ones began working again.

About the 24-hour window............I usually get in a routine that I launch all my accts chained every morning. This keeps it at a rough 24-hour schedule. Like I said, once your accounts get older, you can get away with more and not get penalized. I had a screwup one day and chained a couple of my older accounts multiple times. They had over 1000 friend requests each that day, but nothing happened to them. After 400 or so, the requests weren't really sent out, but the accounts themselves were never locked down.

In my opinion, you can get away with so much because myspace is currently overwhelmed with traffic. Their resources are so slim (CPU and performance wise), that they can't monitor a lot of things that should be simple. My theory is that they put brand new accounts on stricter watch than older accounts.

If they had any grasp of the situation, my IP would have been banned a long time ago, my domain would be filtered out of bulletins, all my profiles that say the exact same thing would be shut down, etc...........But none of that has happened.

I bet they have done IP banning on major spammers. Anyway I have been doing 400 request daily for the past 3 months without any problems. :thumbup:

Some get banned some don't.

**shaggz** · 10-30-2006, 05:06 PM

I would guess that they are focusing most of their efforts (specifically IP banning) on people posting from phished accounts. As long as you use your own accounts, there shouldn't be much risk.

NUMBER ONE : NOW THIS IS PRICELESS

One day I was doing a Google search and it was something totally unrelated to Myspace. I saw several of the top listings were from Myspace profiles. That really got me thinking “Wow.. if they’re at the top of Google listings for
pretty popular keywords, then it must be a good, viable opportunity” So I started really delving into that and started adding friends with some pretty high PageRank by doing an advanced Google search for Myspace profiles. It’s amazing to see that these profiles are starting to show up higher than normal content websites.

Something that powerful was really irresistible for AND IT WORKS SO WELL.

NUMBER TWO:

THE SECOND THINGS IS that you really want to fill out your profile AS if you’re talking directly to the viewer. I found that to be the most effective way to come across as enthusiastic and passionate about whatever topic
you want to market. You want to target a loyal group and that (a good profile) really helps you get your point across.

A lot of people throw all sorts of interests together and have a lot of links to their websites. You should really focus your profile on one niche or interest and then dominate it. You want to use keywords in your profile that can get picked up by the search engines. It’s really helpful to focus in on just a handful of keywords that you thing will be the most effective. You’ll also want to use pictures, stories and information so your viewer can perceive you as an expert. Another thing I like to do is join a few of the biggest groups related to your topic or profile. That will give you some exposure to people who have a lot like-minded profiles and start to grow a
friend’s list in a related topic that you’re trying to pursue.

NUMBER THREE

Selecting the right picture is very helpful on MySpace. Pictures are usually the first things that people see. So have a really good picture that stands out. You can make it taller that the usual pictures by using online image editing software like Gimp dot com You also want to use an effective headline. People on Myspace have a real short attention span so you really want something that catches their attention. Have some pictures and videos sprinkled in the profile. Another thing I like to do is to have my profile as readable as possible by using a lot of white space. I’ve noticed many people get these crazy profiles and they add all kinds of crazy CSS style sheets
and go wild. But if you’re marketing on Myspace what you really want to focus on is making it legible so people can read it and see what you have to say. You want to make them go to your offer.

NUMBER FOUR

add an opt-in box list to Your profile

You’ll need to offer something of value to people so you can capture their email address. Once they’ve signed up you want to make sure you deliver what you promised, and also send them an email once or twice a week to give them more information. Not sales junk, but something of real value. While you’re doing that you want to softly promote the offer in your emails. The real emphasis should be on forming a relationship

to go over those again.

1) get links from high ranking users in google.

2) make your profile speak direct to the myspace viewers and come across as an expert

3) using nice clear images and text in your profile to get noticed.

4) start a good list by adding an opt in box so you can softly catch emails and add friends

someone that tells you its not about having a list is dead wrong it is....get a list going and you cant go wrong.

hope this helps

Hello jesterx,

Great little article you wrote up there, very informative. I was wondering if you might elaborate a bit on this statement. How exactly are you targeting high pagerank profiles with google?

Edit:
Well actually nm, I guess I figured this question out my self. Naturally if you search ...

"inurl

rofile.myspace.com/"

The top have higher pagerank...duh!
