As we all know, it can be very hard to make money off of "free" surfers. Who really wants to fill their mailing list with under aged web surfers who have no income or means of purchase. Myspace has the potential to provide a very targeted audience but I see no move in that direction.

Putting a simple page up on myspace and never going back again will not drive traffic , bring name recognization, or do much for your needs.

It really depends on what you're advertising. I know that seems obvious, but I find this to be more true with myspace than with other networks I've tried advertising on. It has to be really flashy and really geared towards the 18-28 crowd, ie, sex sells. It would be best if you could target your readers based on what groups they join, what music they post on their site, or what their interests are, but I haven't found a way to do that on myspace. I'd be interested to hear some first hand knowledge on linkedin and I didn't even think about delicious as a great source of traffic. I would've thought most of those users were interested in the articles that posted to the site and not adds. Good article though. Aloha, Erik Just a quick word of caution on the myspace advertising.
