If you are caught promoting your business on their site your profile can be deleted at their discretion. That being a worse case scenario. However, personally I have had my profile flagged as a spam contributor which Myspace then began to block and/or blacklist my website url. Now when potential customers click a web link to go to my site within my profile they are taken to a warning page prompting them that I am a spammer or attempting to 'phish' their account information. Both of which are bogus! But that's what they do apparently. Just be warned!! This kind of flagging can really deter potential customers from EVER looking at your site or purchasing products!!

This shouldn't deter the smaller e-commerce company, however, from developing a catchy and fun presence on the service.

It's less invasive than sending blanket newsletters via email and you shouldn't get tripped up by a spam filter.

I can design a web site, but myspace had me in the dark. I've looked at the victoria secret/pink myspace. How do they get around the personal profile info? They have a large header at the top, currently advertising their fleece line, but no personal bio that comes standard when you sign up for myspace. Any advice from anyone thats bypassed the bio? thanks Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:54:01 -0600 http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/575/Baiting-The-Social-Media-Crowd/#comment3753
