Advertise on the top 10 myspace website's

[chriscoop]

Hi,

I just want to know if it is worth to pay alot of $$$ a week on one of the top 10 myspace websites.

I checked and Myspace Support charge $200 a week and their website gets like 100.000 UV a day. I dont know the other rates but do you think its worth to pay the high $$$ a week ?

[Carrielynne]

I myself don't think its worth it but I am sure many will disagree with me. I just think its silly to pay for something that wont return minimum of what you payed.

depends Ive tested a link on one of the top 10 myspace sites,

didn't really turn back many visitors but, didnt make ROI, but I did get good link developnment from it.

big point is whats your sites text on the link...it has to be catchey and has to be different from the others..

Myspacesupport gets 160k or so, uniques a day. And they claim to send ~1000 hits a day. So may be worth it. But I am not sure, as I do not know, how everyone calculates ROI.

Anyone else having any experience of purchasing links on the biggest sites out there?

Myspace support wont send 1k a day unless your at the top of the advertising and have a great keyword phrase. Also it wont pay for itself thats definate. I have used it since it i started in the myspace game.

One thing you do get is quality hits and a chance for your site to grow.

I know back in early 2006 I dropped $700 to advertise on a high traffic myspace site for a month and I have to admit it was the best decision I ever did, gave us a nice boost and built up a load of backlinks. Alot of money but it paid off greatly looking at how things are today.

Might be a little different now though since there is alot more competition...

I tested adbrite last week, only 2 sites out of 7 sent me good traffic.

$700 for a month...woooo...thats almost my rent! I hope to come to that road one day and be able to advertise like that. Though that might be sooner than I think.

yea its alot of money but that was back in the day when I was getting $1-5$ clicks from YPN . So I used that big check to invest a little.

it just depends on the site and link placement, I had a link on one of PGZ's sites for alittle over 2 months and I averaged over 600 UV a day.

One thing you do get is quality hits and a chance for your site to grow.I tried myspacesupport for a month a while back as well and although it did send some traffic I don't think it covered the cost. Longterm might have been good though hard to guage but don't expect to earn your ad dollars back right away. That doesn't mean it's not worth doing, on any site, but it's not always an instant ROI.

The best ROI I have had was Frymans links back when he was selling. He actually reinvested what he was selling spots for so everyone made out. Miss those days fryman :(

I had a small link on skize.com which usually gets around 100k a day. It was a small link in the bottom right hand corner and I still got around 700-800 uniques, but then it dropped to 200-300 - probably because they kept adding more links.

I don't think its worth the money, but if you have the money then its a good boost for a relatively new site.

[money_train]

i have a link on PGZ site.
it sends me good traffic.
buying links is not instant return on money. they only help the site to grow in the long run.
i would suggest buying cheaper links here then going for something like 500$ a month on one of the big ones.
just my 2 cents

I use to advertise on killerkiwi but it seems like he's gone

When you buy a link you have to remember that you are buying it to get EXPOSURE not to make all your money back that you paid.

If you buy a link and it cost say $65 a week and your site say makes $50 it means your down $15 bucks but you have to look at what your goal is from buying the link....EXPOSURE.

If you think that buying a link is going to make you big bucks or more then you are paying for it then you are fooling yourself.

When ever I get the software install on my big site so I dont have to manage the link sales then that one will be open for links. The one site I do have link sales on I have not filled people as they have cancelled cause I hate babysitting people that either forget to pay or just dont pay and dont say anything.

I need some different software for that site.

If anyone knows of some good Link sales software please let me know.

If you are buying links, you can not base success upon how much revenue is generated while the links are up. It is better to base success on the number of clicks/visitors and the CPC.

If you pay $50 for a link and get 2500 visitors, you CPC is .02. If .02 CPC is your target, the link was a success.

The problem with using revenue is it doesn't factor in returning visitors or future visitors generated by the new links on profiles. A $50 link may only bring in $35 in revenue from those 2500 visitors. But what if 10% of those visitors return next week/month? What if the links from the profiles (generated from the paid link) brings in another 250 visitors over the next week/month? Long term, the paid link may be responsible for another 2500 visitors and another $35 in revenue.

Basing success on revenue also does not value the brand recognition or the number of backlinks created. Unfortunately advertising can not be quickly valued by the revenue being greater than the cost of ads.

NOTE: all numbers were for example and assumes targeted visitors.
