Ok, so we all know about Facebook’s Flyers Pro PPC platform they launched last month, and how people really jumped on it in the beginning. Well, people exploiting the system made ass loads of cash and ruined it for the rest of us! They got rich, the ones who missed it got screwed. Facebook has ended up basically banning any website that has to do with an affiliate offer. They have also banned most words and phrases from popular affiliate programs in the ads and domains. SO, basically Facebook ads blow now, and really are useless(to me at least :(). I then think to myself, yeah Facebook knows that they are worth shitloads of money, and could easily sell to Microsoft for billions, but it makes me think……don’t they want to make trillions? I mean it has been proven that targeting this specific demographic (poor college kids) will make tons of cash with some of these easy “form submit” affiliate offers. So why doesn’t Facebook want us affiliates to spend tons of money on their website? Weird! Don’t believe me that it was once super profitable? Check out UberAffiliate.com’spost about how he was making 5 figures daily exploiting FaceBook Flyers Pro in its early days.
Here is the good news, Myspace.com is going to launch a very similar program very soon! According to the New York Times, the advertiser will be able to really target their audience. I mean think about everything people put up on myspace…if their single, married, male, female, where they live, their hobbies….etc….etc. You will be able to reach 110 million potential customers! If myspace was a country, it would be the 13th largest in the world!!
Personally, I think this will be huge, and am praying that it is PPC, not CPM, although reports have lead more towards a self serve CPM program….we can all still hope. Also, in the NYT’s article, it says that Myspace’s revenue should almost double monthly, from $40,000,000 to $70,000,000! Wow, with those type of projected numbers, this thing has to be big!
