HOW TO: Deal with a MySpace Ban
Co-written with Jackson West.
What happens when your site gets blocked by MySpace?
Well, according to Hitwise, your traffic takes a nosedive. Video-sharing site Vidilife and webcam host Stickam were blocked by MySpace last fall, and Revver right around the end of January. IMEEM was blocked at the end of February, and the latest casualty is Photobucket, with the effects too recent to measure. But check out what Hitwise (which, by the way, ranks MySpace number one in across all sites) shows for Vidilife, Stickam, and Revver’s traffic.
