MySpace Management Time Consumption

Yes, getting views on MySpace takes time, and therefore cost money. Would Jon Hackbarth be getting his two patients a month if his in-house team didn’t use their time to promote his MySpace? Probably not, is he in the ideal market for MySpace I don’t know. Do major metropolitan areas have huge MySpace hubs? Yes, for example Atlanta is by far one of the higher costs per click markets in the country. Now I could spend $6-$7 per a click every day, every month or build a community network on MySpace to compliment my pay-per-click campaign and my web presence.

Now if I draw my existing patients from my website to my MySpace extension just think how much easier you made it for their friends to find you (their potential new dentist) and for people to refer to you. Just another step toward simplicity in a complex environment.

MySpace Functionality
