Is your MySpace Profile a steaming pile of crap?
The Complete MySpace Tard – This person have no idea about how to edit the layout or what HTML is. Someone else opened the browser for you so you could “get onto the internet thingy”. You stumbled through the account creation process and experienced a misplaced sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you uploaded a photo of yourself to your profile.
The MySpace Novice - You’ve already set up an account and spent a few hours drafting information about you that only registered sex offenders are going to read. You have managed to get a few pictures of yourself online. You have updated your profile layout and posted your “emo” suicide note for all your new ‘friends’ to read.
The Color-blind who have learnt HTML- You know a little bit about HTML. You have struggled through the horrifying MySpace control panel to do everything listed above. You have created your own layout but for some reason you’ve chosen eye searing colors and a blinking tiled background which means you have to highlight everything in order to read it.
If this sounds familiar then YOU NEED HELP (or shall I say a little guidance). Follow these simple steps to ensure that your MySpace Profile isn’t as embarrassing as your first sexual encounter.
1. Find a good Free Myspace Layout.
The good news is 90% of all MySpace Profiles look awful so you can easily stand out in the crowd.
Firstly, the content on your page shouldn’t take a backseat to the layout, especially if you want people to be able to read all the stuff that absolutely nobody gives a shit about. You want your friends to be able see the last book you read – you don’t want to give them retinal cancer with your flashing purple background. Luckily it is easy to find a nice looking layout - On Profilepitstop.com Free MySpace Layouts, you can even add the code straight to your page so even special people should be able to do it.

Grab the code, add it the top of the About Me Section and click on update all settings.
3. Add something funny so people know how funny you are.
A step in creating your profile which is completely optional, but it’s a lot of fun. Use Profilepitstop.com Flashpix Generator to make your own text pictures that you can easily add to your profile.

4. Make your own MP3 player.
Most Myspace profiles have auto-playing music that inevitably starts by surprise at maximum volume, and it’s usually music that you could dump into the “truck drivers in love” genre. The default Myspace player also stinks because you only get to put one track on it. Get your mp3 player from Profilepitstop.com MP3 Players. NOTE: If your taste in music stinks, you should probably skip this section.
There are few different choices - The Tape Player is a popular choice. Creating your own Mix Tape has never been easier. Simply use the search engine to find as many tracks as you like, add them to the list. Give your player a name and then you can add the code automatically to any section of your Myspace Profile. Very cool and it’s so simple your pet Labrador could do it.
5. Time to show off.
Now that you’ve got your profile looking the goods, it’s time to impress your new friends. The best way to do this is grab some funny pictures and post them as comments on other profiles. Get one at Profilepitstop.com MySpace Graphics. It’s as simple as grabbing the code, clicking “add comment” and pasting it on your friend’s site.

Acquiring Items for Your MySpace.com Layout
There are many ways to edit your MySpace.com profile, and changing the layout could not be easier.
There are many features you can add to you’re MySpace.com profile to make it more aesthetically pleasing, and easier for other users to navigate. These include, font’s colors, borders, and icons. While many options are available to you on the actual MySpace.com site, there are other places where you can go to obtain items that can be used on MySpace.com.
Since its conception in 2003, MySpace.com has become one of the most popular web sites on the Net. Established as a social interactive site, it is reportedly the third most used service of its kind. In addition to the many web-building features it provides its users, the MySpace.com service also allows people who have never met before the opportunity to chat, share information, and get to know more about other cultures and walks of life.
Many independent musicians, filmmakers, and comedians are creating profiles and posting their information, music, videos, and routines for other users to access. Several celebrities have even come onto the scene. Because of the extreme social interactive nature of the site, it has become necessary to offer many features. Also, because it has become such a big place to share information, many other websites are offering features and items that users can download onto their computers, then use on the MySpace.com site while editing their profiles.
For instance, there are now several sites where users can download MySpace.com icons. It is expressly mentioned that they are specific to MySpace.com. These sites also offer a wide variety of various fonts, graphics, and borders to help enhance the appearance of a MySpace.com page. This is, yet another way for users to share information and cool features that will make their sites more appealing and intriguing.
Many other sites offer icons, graphics, fonts, and borders that can be used on just about any site you create on the Net, and though they are not specific to MySpace.com, can be used when creating a MySpace.com profile and the subsequent pages that are included. The ease with which these items can be incorporated into the site makes it easier for users to share them, and to post instructions on how they should be used.
There are also many tutorials available on the Internet that provide step by step instructions on how to create a MySpace.com page, how to edit that page, and how to incorporate the items downloaded from other sites whether they are specific to MySpace.com, like MyPsace.org or Popdarts.com or MySpcace.net, or not.
It is important to keep in mind that you should always be careful when downloading anything. Before doing so, it is a good idea to check to see where else those items are used, and to know the origins of each item. If you wish to add items that aren’t already on the MySpace.com site, you can conduct a search for whatever you wish to add to your site.

Selecting the Right Keywords for Google and SEO
Okay, so you have a website or a product you want to promote online. The next step is finding the right keywords. Choosing the correct keywords will ultimately determine how successful your marketing will be. There are a few easy steps you can take to make sure that you are always on top of the competition.
The first thing you should do is write down the first keywords that come to mind describing your website or product. This will give you a general list of where you should start in your selection. After you have done this you might want to visit the websites of a couple of your competitors. If you go to 'view' in your browser menu and then go to 'source', you will be able to view that websites code. In the very top of the code look for the tag that says 'header' and inside the header will be a meta tag that says 'keywords' in it. Write down any of the keywords on their lists that you find useful.
After you have your list the next step is going to Google. If you visit Google's site, you will find Google's keyword tool. Simply type in the keywords you have on your list and the tool will give you a list of similar keywords, tell you which ones are the most popular, and tell you how much competition you have for each keyword. The best thing to do is choose a keyword that has a reasonable amount of search volume, but not a lot of competition. It is these words that you want to use in your Google Adwords campaigns and search engine optimization.
Try to find your own little 'niche' by breaking down what your business does into something more specific. For example if your business sells cake mix, instead of simply using 'cake mix' as your keyword try to break it down into something that you further specialize in such as 'German Chocolate cake mix'. After a while of breaking down your keywords and re-entering them into Google's keyword tool, you should have a keyword or two that you can work with.
Alternatively, if you are short on time, or you just can't seem to find that certain niche, you can use software that will do this WHOLE process for you. This is a good move on many levels, because you won't have to spend countless hours researching and refining your keywords. Also, using software will pick up some of those 'niche' keywords that have slipped by you, that could have made you a lot of money.
