Here's a tried and true method for getting many visitors to your forum using myspace. First of all, if you are already on myspace, create another id. You might get shutdown for doing this. So, having said this, let's rock and roll!

1) Create a new id on myspace using the same name as your forum. (ex: if your forum name is WhateverDude.com , create your id of WhateverDude.com)
2) Upload a crazy pic. Those seem to attract more attention. You can use the attached pic if you like.
3) Join a myspace wh*re train. You'll get many friends adding you and you adding them.
4) Go through each friend and add a comment to their page promoting their site. You'll get tons of visitors to your site.

Advanced Users:

Before I tell you this, let me just state that I have NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY OF THE PROGRAMS I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU ABOUT EXCEPT FOR ME USING THEM MYSELF!

The methods that I just gave you take a while to do. Myspace limits you to 500 friend requests and 250 comments/day. That's still a lot to do manually. So, why do it? Here's your solution.

1) Auto Wh*re Train Joiner - here
2) Combo Pack (Auto Friend Request, Auto Messenger, Auto Commenter) - here

This method will DEFINITELY increase your traffic flow to your site!

Not from his tactics, but we have gotten alot of results from signing both our main forums up for myspace.

Http://www.myspace.com/tampaforums and http://www.myspace.com/tamparacingdotcom - we've gotten quite a few new members from both.

I got 35 friends in a day by just searching user interests that matched my site's...
I think 1 of them actually went to my forums and joined =/
But now I have them all as friends, and when I have contests and giveaways, they will know and maybe join then...

this is a great method for generic type websites. If your site specializes in a niche such as mine does (poker), the multiple add sites and programs will be of little benefit. Instead manual searching and adding to your friends will be more beneficial for your site's growth

Horrible thoughts and suggestions ...

Mods : We have someone here promoting spamming here. While we are out these trying to stop spam on our communities, this guy is teaching how to promote that on a site that someone put their effort and money to make. Can we please put an end to such articles ?
