Can MySpace -with a person floor ended 100 a million strong- be competitively utilised as a selling tool lacking breaking the rules?
Quite ingenuously....? NO.
Even the tremendously construct of commercialism beside MySpace is extremely board up to violating the MySpace Terms of Use Agreement. Section 8, writing 2, cog 2 indisputably prohibits "advertising to, or appeal of, any Member to buy or provide any products or services finished the MySpace Services".

However, the wording does go you whatever rattle legroom. You don't have to if truth be told push your products or employment on your MySpace profile. You can, instead, association your MySpace profile to your website advertizing your products and work and afterwards in recent times sort of... *ahem*... plug your site (heavily) on MySpace. Right?
Of course, the notion that MySpace was not expected to be in use for subject matter purposes doesn't seize markedly binary compound at any rate when you rob into mentation that MySpace is widely acknowledged as a vehicle to promote bands. So afterwards the question arises, if Joe Guitar and the Gray Tones can use MySpace to hype their fastening (and finally go CDs) why can't I use MySpace to market my blueish widgets?
But afterwards these clone standards are merely the tip of the berg. Beneath the elevation of MySpace substance accounts lurks a lusus naturae of vocabulary of use violations, maximum especially encircling the feature of automating the totting up of friends to your MySpace friends database.

MySpace Whore Trains
It all began when MySpace resource sites started ontogenesis up all over the net providing a scheme to conceive ginormous MySpace friends lists immensely summarily via privileged automated scripts. These scripts in due course became set as (*chuckle*) 'whore trains'.
This shortly gave distant to the propensity to make your own harlot trains by copy-and-pasting a ready-to-wear sporting lady engine book and causation it out via the MySpace story system.
Of course, these employment were all provided released of flight. No hoard in that. It wasn't daylong previously someone thought, "Hey! Why not provide a programme that does the self thing?"
And, confident enough, along came MySpace playfellow adder package which you could if truth be told buy, set on your computer and use it from within to jam up your friends roll faster than you can say 'add me'.
But wait, that's not all.. You can now even affiliate affiliate programs and earn a commission when you make income for these crony adder programs.
As of this writing, if you do a look into in Google for "myspace cocotte train", you'll insight machine-controlled playfellow adder scripts as far as the eye can see.
And yet, surprisingly enough, all of the above onetime once more constitutes a clear crime of the MySpace Terms of Use Agreement. In skin you didn't know, writing 8, paragraph 2, element 4 of the MySpace.com Terms of Use Agreement expressly prohibits:
"any automated use of the system, such as mistreatment scripts to add friends or send away interpretation or messages;"
Ooops.... Uh-oh...
Selling MySpace on Ebay
Nevertheless, in spitefulness of all this auto-friend-adding pack being illegal, every gung ho MySpace vender this tenderloin of Pluto is victimization few gentle of harlot public transport or assistant adder program to pump up their friends schedule. And they are doing it at the rate of 3500 per week! (MySpace reportedly imposes a day by day somebody request curb of 500.)
So can one contend beside all that minus jumping on the bandwagon? Probably not.
And is it risky? Of class.
With grouping now creating MySpace profiles for the single goal of amassing tens of thousands of friends and past commerce those profiles on eBay (I kid you not), the approaching for abuse is titanic. [And yes it is also sensationally against MySpace Terms of Use to put up for sale your chart (section 8, writing 2, element 9)].
The stand queue is MySpace will take away your profile if you take the total friend-adding, bulletin-spamming, profile-flipping entry too far. They may even apply a marked device preventing you from victimization your website's arena given name in any hyperlinks generated in the whole MySpace arrangement (which funds all profiles, bulletins and messages). So a name to the wise: Moderation is the key.
It's stimulating to personal letter on the other hand that MySpace is belike one of the just places on the net you can create a post inventory (let's human face it... that's what you're doing near all that tart discipline business organisation) minus in reality having to decoy users to opt-in by hanging both nice of freebee in advanced of their noses.
However if you do get into this, be advised that lots MySpace users will approve your machine-driven mate claim next to an agenda of their own. For example, umpteen will in all probability right poverty to inflate their own friends detail for the benefit of absolute self-love and will never even drop by your MySpace page, your website or pay fame to any substance bulletins you distribute out.
Still others mightiness even be promoters look-alike yourself. This will turn out a set-up similar to a direct salesperson anyone greeted by a at ease homemaker who forthwith launches into a gross revenue tilt of her own.
All of this makes for a little than targeted post inventory.
But hey... that's what you get when you stoppage the rules. :o)
