Free VS Paid Layout?

Benefits of a FREE Myspace Design

Ok the obvious benefit is that it is free, are there any more, hmm not really, I would say that they are usually easy to set up, but sometimes they are not, it depends where you go to get them free. Sometimes websites trick you and all they really do is steal your password to your account, be aware of websites like this, usually your best free Layouts are ones which let you do it by copy and pasting the code. Another benefit is your Myspace Layout can look better than the average Myspace Profile. This is true however eventually everyone is going to see it, think "Oh I like that" and then they will want that Myspace Design for their own and then you are no longer unique and you look the same as everyone else.

Benefits of a PAID Myspace Design

It can be custom made to your requirements. However you want it you can have it, work with a Myspace Designer and you will get the closest possible result you can get, unlike free layouts these paid for layouts are exactly how YOU want them.It is unique to you, meaning no one else will ever have this Myspace Design and if they do then they have stolen the code, and took the time to figure out how, and find out where your images are stored etc, they will not be able to make it entirely their own and it will be a waste of time for them as you can tell it will of been stolen from you as most Custom Myspace Designs have the clients name included in the images.You stand out for several reasons, the first one is because your Profile is Unique, no one elses Myspace Design will look like yours. It will be designed Professionally by a Myspace Designer, meaning you can expect a Professional Design suited only to your requirements.

And the Winner Is...

Actually there is no winner, it's all about opinions and the reason behind why you want a good looking Profile. For example if you are an individual, chances are you do not need to have a good looking Myspace Design, or need to stand out, unless you REALLY WANT TO which is where the opinion comes into it, some people want to and like to, some people don't. Then there is the reasons for wanting, essentially needing to look good and stand out. For example, if you are in a band/company or something that needs to stand out and be noticed then you will most definatly want to go with a PAID Myspace Profile Design. It's your decision, and no one else.

MySpace Games

You’re thinking about getting a MySpace account, but you’re still not decided whether or not you should go ahead and get it anyway. This, despite the fact that MySpace accounts are free for everyone! What could change your mind though? Could it be the great features that MySpace has like that of MySpace games?

Or could it be the fact that you can change your profile to something that looks exactly like your personality? You can change many things on MySpace from the layout of the MySpace pages to the background of the profile pages to the graphics which are contained within the pages.

You also have the ability to change the cursor which displays when someone comes to your page, as well as being able to play music. But what was that about MySpace games? What are those and how do they affect MySpace, and most of all, your decision to go with MySpace or not?

Well, to begin with, the MySpace games are small "gamelets" so to speak. They can be smaller versions of popular games, as well as made-for-MySpace games. They work along the same principles as does everything else that you do to your MySpace pages. When someone comes to your view your profile, you want them to go away thinking, "Wow! That page was great."

Inserting MySpace games into your pages could be just the way that you want to go to do that then. Visitors to your pages will be entertained for hours on end playing the MySpace games that you place on your pages, and you can be assured of standing out from the crowd.

And just as with everything else that is MySpace, the MySpace games which are available on the internet are free. You also get a vast choice of games to choose from which makes it more entertaining for you, and your visitors as you can keep changing the games on a regular basis.

As an added bonus it is also very easy to input the MySpace games into your MySpace pages. The steps for doing this are the same as for customizing your background and graphics etc. All you need to do is to find the MySpace games that you like, preview them, (better yet, play them to see if you like them!), and then you can copy the provided free code.

You will then need to paste the code within your Edit Profile section, save the changes (or preview to see if you really do want that game), and then sit back and wait for all the comments to come pouring in!

If you’re still in debate whether or not you want to get a MySpace account, don’t hesitate over the fact that it might be difficult to have upkeep your account. Customizing your account and its upkeep, are the easiest things in the world, just like it was easy to get the MySpace games on to your pages.

Do's And Don'ts

DO!

1- Choose a catchy MySpace URL. Chances are I won't remember your unique page ID as the URL, so pick something I'll remember, ideally using words from an existing domain of yours. Underscores are allowed. Remember once you choose a name you can't change it without creating a new account!

2- Keep your content current and fun. Most people are visual and making a strong first impression with your MySpace design when a visitor comes to your page is important. Just as important is the strength and relevancy of your content, so keep those blogs and bulletins coming.

3- Choose your top 8 with care. Oddly, it is a significant factor in how people perceive your account. You may want to include certain organizations or groups which speak to your purpose or cause. You might also consider asking for a top friend exchange with someone who would return the favor and bring some extra traffic to your page.

4- Keep in touch with your network. We want news. We want gossip. We want the latest pic. So keep us in the loop through your blog, bulletin, a friendly comment or personal message. Don't forget to add your website link too!

5- Remember, MySpace is "a place for friends." Be a nice MySpacer.


DON'T!

1- Three big no-nos on MySpace: Do not obscure the MySpace ad banner (or feature your own ad banners), spam, or feature inappropriate content. Any of these will almost guarantee that your account gets deleted.

2- While we strongly encourage using your MySpace design to the maximum benefit, remember that MySpace monitors the level of activity on every account. We recommend limiting your interactions to 200 or less per day to ensure that MySpace will not mistake you for a spammer.

3- Some graphic suggestions… Do not use a photo or busy graphic as a background to your content. An overwhelming background may distract the visitor from key points or messages within your page. Take advantage of a strong title graphic, and present the content in a way that isn't distracting.

4- Do not clutter your MySpace page with "Which Hollywood Superstar are You?", quizzes and other obnoxious widgets that don't directly speak to your audience, at least if you expect to be taken seriously as a professional entity on MySpace. For tips on how to effectively market yourself or your business on MySpace please visit our MySpace Marketing Tips.

5- If you're going to have your profile song on auto-start, make sure it's easy listening or a nearly universally loved tune. This may be the deal breaker on whether or not a visitor returns. I have been known to repeatedly visit someone's page based on their having a good song. I have also been known to immediately leave a profile before the page even completely loads due to something intolerable being played.
