Myspace Advertising

When will MySpace Get it?

Why pay multi millions of dollars for a website if you don’t even know how to monetize it?

It’s simple: You’re showing the wrong time of ads!

Seriously.. while researching it for an upcoming website I’m making, I had to create an account.

(www.myspace.com/therealhockeygod) for the really curious of you..

Anyway, here’s the ads that greeted me: Wall Street journal, Hooters, and bad credit home equity.

Does anybody really think that 14 and 15 year olds (MySpace’s average user age) are going to click this stuff?

Advertise stuff that your users care about: Ringtones, wallpapers, music, fashion.

last I checked, high school kids didn’t read the WSJ.. Hell I work in a cubicle in an office that gets a free subscription and I don’t even read it!
