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!

What good is all the traffic when your signup from these will be close to 0%

You'd be better off spending all that time, or money or whatever on marketing that works

actually that is close to what i have been doing for beasttoast.com

It has good turnouts if you have general forums... but if its a site about cars... or something its not the best way to do it.

Here's another software suite that's awesome to use! Myspace Suite http://www.myspace-suite.com/ . With this one, you don't even have to keep on entering MySpace's security thingy. It does that for you!! Woohoo!

Pretty nice tutorial, even though it's a little dirty

The MySpace-Suite is now called o-community, and I cannot get their demo software to work, their support forum is a complete and total joke, with the site administrator nowhere to be found, people complaining left and right that the captcha override doesn't work, the support forum has 50 porn spam profiles/links/posts for every legit one...there are people complaining all over the forum that the company has taken their money and ran...

I would REALLY give some serious thought to buying that nonsense.

I am just a newbie trying to figure out how to promote a site.

The other site, FriendAdder.....I can't seem to figure out if it requires I add friends before I can contact them to promote my site.....there are 56K users that fit the demographic, but that is via a MySpace Search....and I don't want to have to add 56K users to my friends list initially to be able to contact them.
