One important rule is that the more you put into MySpace, the more satisfaction you will get out of it, and the more appealing it will be to others. This is true when it comes to making friends on the site as well as building your profile page. Let’s start with your profile page. You really want your page to be a little different from the thousands of others out there! There are tons of resources all over the Web that you can use to make you page a stand out work of art that visitors will remember and want to visit again and again.

It is helpful to have a theme for your profile page, be it music, sports, television or movies, or whatever hobbies you may have. By doing this, you will attract others who have the same interests as you, as well as those who just appreciate a well-done web page. Photos are always quite popular to browsers, and the more photos you have on your profile, the more popular it will be. Slideshows and videos are also attention-getters.

Make sure your page is easy to read and contains interesting content which will hold your reader’s attention. People will return to your page often to see if you have added anything new, and most will leave a comment, which will build up your Comments section nicely.

But how do you get people to come and view your profile page in the first place? It’s very simple. Remember our rule above? Spend some time browsing through MySpace. Read and enjoy, then make as many Friend Requests as you feel comfortable with. You’ll get responses from most, and then will be well on your way to having hundreds of MySpace friends.

There is another tweak that is well known to veteran MySpace users who have a goal of being noticed. They help each other build their Friend lists with the addition of what is called a whore me code. A web search for the “whore me generator” will yield the online process to create a code that will send a Bulletin to everyone on your pal’s Friend list requesting that they check out your profile and add you as a friend. This is a very fast way to get loads of page views and friends.

MySpace Groups are another way to get noticed. Take a look at the different groups, join a few that interest you, and post away! People will then visit your profile and more than likely add you as a Friend.

The more involved you get in the MySpace world, the more you will be noticed. Visibility is the key!
