If you look around some of the big web development forums you are bound to find a number of people who are quite down on MySpace resource sites. “Their rubbish”, “They generate junk traffic”, and so on.

I can understand why an advertiser for say a Real Estate website thinks that traffic from this kind of site is rubbish, because to him it is. These kind of sites should not be showing ads for his site, but if they use YPN then there is a good chance they will end up running his ads.

In the end it is a lose-lose situation, sure the resource site own is going to get a few high paying clicks, but the key is giving your visitors ads they want to click on, not stuff they click on accidently.

It’s a lose situation for the advertiser because they don’t get the traffic they need/want for the money they are paying, and in the end may stop advertising, or lower their budget.

This is the kind of thing that in the end will destroy our industry.

If your not happy with the 2-5 cents clicks your getting on your resource site, you shouldn’t be trying to trick the ad serving system into giving you the wrong (higher paying) ads, you need to look at other ways to monetise your site.

Don’t go for the short term, go for the long term.

If you’d like to join a community of Website Publishers who are in the MySpace industry, then you should pop over to MySpacePros. It’s full of people earning a living on MySpace and most are willing to give tips and help out if they can.
