Great post! Unfortunately myspace is currently reviewing their policy on dating ads, so they aren’t accepting any new campaigns in the dating vertical. On the other hand, good thing they did away with the .25 cpc minimum. One of the nice benefits about myspace is relatively cheap traffic that converts well.

Nefig: Can you please tell us your credentials? Yes you can buy cheaper ads on Google but do you have more success with it?

Not that I’m bashing. First, I’m new to the game, and second, your rants I agree 110% with (Fuck the flash interface). It’s just that your opinion doesn’t mean much if nubs/pros are making $1K/day on MySpace and you’re not – do you make anything on Google?

Another thing – just discovered! I found out that all clicks I sent to particular pin-code offer came from sites like city-data.com, coolest-gadgets.com and others, totally non-related to Myspace!

Damn, I could buy traffic from Google much cheaper than $0.25 – that’s just ? They’re simply reselling adsense for profit, is that how it is? I am feeling pretty f*cked.

One more – if you have more than 3 campaigns (apparently you can’t delete campaigns you don’t want anymore – yes!) – you can’t see how much you spent TODAY on each one of them without running their heavy flash-reports one-by-one! It’s 21st century AFAIK! Apparently those guys are still in 1998

Know what, so far I haven’t had any success. All the offers convert pretty badly, although I tried to target them demographically etc; And I absolutely HATE the campaign interface!!! So f*cking lame! You can’t sort, delete, there’s no filtering by date, price, type or anything at all! I won’t be able to come up with worst reporting if I wanted to! And for split-testing of anything you basically have to create additional campaign?! This is not even alpha, nevermind beta. And yeah, you can’t even display a bit of naked body, even if it’s just a decent-looking part of someone’s stomach.. What’s up with that, really – especially when you choose your demographic settings as “Women from 35 to 55″ – TV is full of that shit even if you watch morning news, yet Myspace doesn’t allow it? Duh..

Thank you for suggesting a network. I would like to join it.
I think its better advertising option. As there are free impression in plenty.
But i think it works not better.

Hey Amanda,

I target MySpace through Google content network Placements and I have seen a huge drop in traffic from my Google content network MySpace Placements.

Now I am going directly through MySpaces self serving ads for about the same price that I was paying through the Google content network MySpace Placements.

If this hasn’t been mentioned already. If you’re out of the US just use a fake US address with your card and you can setup an account.

Success,

Do you know if you already do google content and have ads that already show up on myspace if you sign up on myspace will your ads appear more than the google content match users?

@gdubs
I now tried a few browsers on win (ff3, ie7, opera, chrome) but always get an javascript error or no browser reaction at all when I try to start a campaign.
