MySpace for SEO and Web Marketing

Teens and young people have been using MySpace for years. For many, it truly is their social circle; they spend hours cruising their sites and their friends’ sites. Businesses are now catching on to the marketing explosion that is taking place in cyber space.

“I opened my pizza place and just wasn’t seeing any business during the lunch hour,” says Jay Frichtl, owner of Tarantino’s Pizza. “I had a MySpace page designed and within 2 days I had a waiting line outside my front door. My parking lot is now full during the lunch hour. The kids are literally lining up out on the street to get in.”

A MySpace page can drive traffic to your front door, literally. The page should be designed with branding in mind. You want your page to resemble your home website or business. You can offer specials or deals. You can communicate with your customers and your customers can leave unsolicited comments about your business. It’s a great way to generate “New” business.

You can post comments or not. Millions of people are on MySpace every single day, ever single minute; you can get the word out about your business quicker than any other media ploy!

I set up an account to design a page for a Mexican Restaurant, Mamacita’s Café, and before I even confirmed the email address after registering it I had a hit from someone asking about the restaurant. It was that quick.

To design a MySpace page costs between $100-$200. They are easy to maintain and provide a great backlink for your web site. MySpace is a win-win for everyone.

So you’re wondering how BIG to make your web page or even how BIG a web page actually is?

Truthfully, a web page can change size depending on the computer that you use to look at it. The different size screens on computers affect how a web page is displayed.

Screen sizes are measured in pixels with the smallest ones being 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high (640 x 480). These screens are become obsolete, the majority of computer screens today are 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.

So where does that leave you? Well, the first decision that you need to make when it comes to web design is how to make your pages.

If your page is bigger than your visitor’s screen, then they will be forced to scroll to see all of your site. Most people don’t mind scrolling down, but you don’t want to make this a habit and it’s best to avoid it if possible.

Basically, it’s important to decide on the width of your web pages. If it’s too wide, your visitor will have to scroll horizontally.

Most web designers choose to design for 800 x 600 screens, so they design the page at 770 pixels wide or less, leaving space for the scrollbar.
