If you are familiar with the Internet then you have heard about Myspace, the most popular social network out there.

If you have thought about the potential marketing power of Myspace but you didn’t take full advantage of it due to certain rumors that are common today, this guide may help you.

Here are five of the most known lies about Myspace marketing.

Myth #1 – Profiles with cute girl’s photos do better than others.

False!

Although this was true on the beginnings of Myspace, the exponential growth of this network has made Myspace users smarter and smarter everyday. They just don’t fall for this anymore. If you intend to do some Myspace marketing then you should make your profile noticed, and the best way to achieve this is using animated images.

Animations doesn’t just look cooler, they also will make your profile more noticeable and believable.

Myth #2 – Myspace sues Myspace marketers.

False!

Myspace has become a large corporation, to the point that they just don’t lose time taking legal actions against regular users. While they might very well sue giants like space station or space promoters, suing small users (those who make less than ten thousand dollars) simply represents too much waste of both time and money. Think about it: attorneys cost money, and taking legal actions against small Myspace marketers like you and me just isn’t worthy.

Myth #3 – You can easily bypass captcha verifications.

Absolutely false!

Some time ago there were some programs that could “guess” what was written in a captcha image. Recently, Myspace has invested some money and effort in improving the captcha image generation and verification process. For this reason, there is no program that can break this protection, and there is a good chance that it will never be.

Even the best available software designed for this task, Friend Blaster Pro, has officially and publicly announced that they will not be able to bypass or break captcha verifications at all.

Myth #4 – Myspace is just for kids.

False, false, false.

Nowadays, the average age of Myspace users is 32. This means not only that a very big part of the millions of Myspace registered members (about half male and half female), are not just kids, but it also means that they are potential consumers.

The truth is that if you are not marketing on Myspace then you are missing a big number of great buyers, and therefore your profit is not as big as it can be.

Myth #5 – Myspace marketing is in fact spamming.

Absolutely false.

There are some people who create lots of different profiles and I must say that this may work for them. But the truth is that if you really want to build credibility, the best way is to keep away from spamming practices.

Think about Tila Tequila, a girl who started a real Myspace music promotion revolution and got millions of fans who knew about her and her music in Myspace.

I must say that I have helped many clients to build their credibility on Myspace myself, always using legitimate means, and with astonishing results. They got an average of 200%-300% increase in their sales, and Myspace had no problem at all with that.

I hope this quick guide helps you. See you later!
