MySpace Is Still A Good Source Of Targeted Traffic
While MySpace won’t pass along link juice it is still a good source of traffic if used properly. I see a good deal of traffic coming from MySpace to my two barbecue related websites.
My MySpace page is located at www.myspace.com/bbqfestivals and I am usually selective as to who my friends are. 80% of my friends are in the barbecue lifestyle in one way or another as either the owner of a bbq sauce company, a bbq competition team, bbq restaurant, an event organizer, etc….. you get the idea.
My two barbecue related websites are www.bbq-festivals.com which is large directory of bbq events such as competitions and cookoffs, nationwide bbq restaurants and you guessed it bbq festivals. www.bbqhub.com is the blog that goes along with the festivals sight and provides the latest news and information from the world of barbecue as well as product reviews and general barbecue related information.
I find updates for my sites on MySpace and it is a great place to announce the latest happenings and updates at both of my barbecue sites using the Bulletin Space function. With a click of the button I can send out my latest site updates to almost 400 people who are into barbecue and a lot of those people visit my site.
It is actually one of the better sources of traffic if you achieve a large enough following. I have always said that when you build a website you should build a blog to go with it. Now I am adding to that and saying in addition to your website and blog add a MySpace page and let them work together to drive traffic to your site.
What have your experiences with MySpace been like? Positive or Negative???
