Myspace has tool that allows you to accumulate friends and another tool that allows you to send bulletins to all those friends

Website owners have been using those bulletins to push websites that have Myspace profile layouts, free flash arcade games, and funny videos. Many sites like that are pulling in 10,000 visitors and are making at least $1000 per month using Myspace to market. Some even take the chance and place Myspace, a trademarked name, into their domain name to better their search engine ranking an trick people into thinking they are associated with Myspace.

Even though many are benefiting, the trend should have some pitfalls in the future. Many users are turning off their bulletins because they want to avoid spam.

Even though the trend may slow down, s long as Myspace continues to grow people will use it too benefit themselves.
