JobCentral Meets Myspace
Why create a Corporate Myspace page? My boss asked this question and yours might also.
1) Added traffic never hurts.
Myspace.com represents tens of millions of unique visitors monthly, half of which are over the age of 35, that’s right 35+. So no matter if your demo is young or old the branding opportunity is great.
2) Web 2.0 - Make it work BETTER!
Myspace provides the ability to reach new prospects and the flexibility to create a corporate Myspace page including or excluding any of the areas offered by fully customizing your own corporate layout. For example, you will notice we allow people to Add JobCentral as “a friend”, although we do not present our friends network or comments from friends, meaning no questionable comments can be made and linking away through a perspective spammer is not an issue.
3) Provide an example and/or standard.
In most cases companies need a benchmark or example to stimulate possibilities. Consider this our crack at effective corporate Myspacing.
4) It’s FREE!
In closing, SimplyHired opened our eyes, at JobCentral, to these types of possibilities with their Myspace Jobs partnership and SimplyHired Myspace page, kudos to Gautam and crew. I believe many other job sites will follow in their “FREE TRAFFIC” footsteps, but the question is will Corporate America embrace this web 2.0 opportunity or watch it pass?
You can’t win if you don’t play.
Great post. My interest in myspace is the question of whether or not myspace can play a significnat role in SEO.
Every friend on myspace is essentially a link to your profile. So does that mean that myspace profiles have an advantage in SEO?
Hmm…I might be speaking over my head here. Have to do some research.
