MySpace Classifieds to compete with eBay, Craigslist, CareerBuilder

Article on MySpace Classifieds:

Popular social network MySpace might soon take classifieds advertising to a new level. Apparently, the company is going to expand its classifieds efforts. It's also toying with the idea of allowing the site's users to swap and sell items to each other, according to the company's recent presentation at a Merrill Lynch conference.

I'm getting a few classified sales from here. I've had a number of MySpace buyers make repeat purchases from my site.

I'm also receiving a fair number of click-throughs to my site from my MySpace blog.  Conversions for MySpace clicks are way lower than Shopzilla or Yahoo Shopping

We're registered but haven't set anything up yet. Maybe it's time to at least set our blog up.

The blogs work well.  Minimal time spent and customer acquisition for free.  What more could you want.

ROFL I ran into that one fun filled afternoon watching pointless videos on the net.  I got a good laugh out of that one.  I wonder how often that kind of thing really happens.  :o
