Myspace Search Results

For everyone who doesnt know what myspace is. It is one of the biggest rising sites on the net www.myspace.com its a comunity of people who can create their own accounts and add friends etc.

I seem to be getting alot of links from myspace in my logs, and was trying to see what i could do to promote my site on myspace.

Does anyone know how the results are ranked at all in myspace.
Here the link to the search page

You can search within myspace and the web.
Web results look like they are using yahoo.

But i am specifically looking for how the myspace pages are being ranked.

Any help would be appreciated.

and I suggest anyone to look into myspace who doesnt allready know about it.
Thanks

Its a myspace created script.
I dont see the footprint on any more sites.
You will just have to search for certain words and look at the top results.
Compare the top results to the no.10 result and see what changes you need to do to emulate the patterns you found on the no.1 sites.
If you look hard enough you will see something common on all sites that are `ranking`.

Well I see that the top ten all have a Last Login of 2/28/2006 (today) so im sure thats one thing.

There you go.
You have cracked the algorithm.
The last one to login gets ranked the highest.

Sheesh/
i wish it was that easy with google.

So if you want to rank no.1 all the time you need to setup a server to login and logout constantly for you.
Simple job and could be done from your desktop instead.

haha, login in isnt the only thing. Yeah I wish google was that easy too.

But the login is definetly a major part.

Keep looking and analysing and you will find the whole pattern soon enough.

Any new thoughts on this?

Let me give us a case study:

I just created a profile to promote a website I'm putting up this week. The purpose of the site is to encourage people to give books/toys/movies to charities like Toys-4-tots this christmas. In order to make the donation sting a little less financially, I'm going to give back the donors the cash that the affilate commission is for the offers.

Anyways, I'd like to rank high for search terms like "santa", "santa claus", "charity", "christmas volunteer", "christmas gifts"..... whatever....you get the idea.....

Do you think that they consider the age of the profile (much like older websites get preferential placement)?

I put "Santa" in my Nickname (the XXXXX part of myspace.com/XXXXXX, mine is "secretsantahelpers")

I put "Santa claus" as my real name and I put "Santa Claus" in my headline too. I don't show up anywhere on search results for these terms.

Any ideas? I only have a limited amount of time to get the profile "optimized" since there's less than 6 weeks til Christmas. Please help if you can.

It is my assumption that myspace is being ranked by page rank and the larger amount of backlinks and pages it has that link to the main page the higher rank it gets. Also the larger the site becomes the higher rank it gets. I have noticed this with my myspace resource site for backgrounds and layouts.

<a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">layoutvault.com</a>. we started and initially our google ranking was low but as our site grew and we backlinked to more sites our page rank went up

Btw speaking about myspace can be used for backlinks?

I doubt but it sure can use as a marketing, sales and promotion medium since there are millions of people in it. And i think they have tools for business promotion as well.
