I've been looking into promoting some of my sites through myspace. I've read about several people doing this. I guess the general idea is to set up a profile for your site with info/links/etc, and then get users who also use myspace to add you site's profile as a "friend".
I'm not really that familliar with myspace and would appreciate any general info about tips, best practices, etc. I do know that I don't want to use some of the spammy methods I've seen like using auto-adding scripts to spam random people. I'd rather just encourage users at my site to add us as a friend and go from there.
One of the first problems I've run into is that myspace seems to want to show a profile of me as a person, not as a group or website. For instance, my website is not a 28 year old married male from Tulsa, OK, and I'd prefer that the profile page not show that information. Is there any way to hide this? It seems like myspace has a special system for bands that lets you build a profile for the band as a whole and excludes the individual personal info that standard myspace accounts require. They also have TV show profiles (like for Family Guy) that do not show the personal profile data. Is this something that I could do for my site's profile? If so, how?
I think this might also be a good article idea for someone to write for WP, something like "Myspace Promotion Basics."
