Note: Find MySpace Layouts. If you are looking for how to bypass MSPlinks, you might want to look at this linkbuilding software called SEO Elite. If you want to quickly build more MySpace friends, try the excellent FriendBlasterPro MySpace software.

My post about MSPlinks.com turned out to be very popular. It has gotten many hundreds of views today. I think that every MySpace comment spammer has been looking up MSPlinks.com in Google and Yahoo. At least one hit in the referrer log was a query about how to bypass MSPlinks.com when posting comments to MySpace.

There are now 723 results in Google for a search for msplinks.com. When I posted my original article on April 21st there were zero.

This newer story shows how evil hackers bypass msplinks.

I have a question for anyone

I have a question for anyone that's familiar with msplinks on My Space. I don't mind that My Space is tracking my links, but I link to interviews I've conducted on my website, and now with the msplink redirect, it forwards and converts my link to a web address with all lower case letters. The problem is, most html pages I've created are case sensitive and coming up "page not found". Anyone know a way around the links coverting your coding to lower case letters?

msplinks.com

In this case, just surprised that so many people are looking for it. This site is getting thousands of hits per month by people searching for msplinks-related keywords. People want to disable msplinks, or find out if msplinks is spyware or a virus, etc. (msplinks.com is not spyware)

msplinks.com

I'm not sure how to fix that, except that you could do intermediate redirects. For example, link from MySpace to your own site (e.g., example.com/myredirect.php?destination=RedirectURL.com) and then redirect from your site to the correct destination.

MySpace is running on ASP.NET and they probably don't understand that most servers are case sensitive (Unix).

msplinks.com bypass

Hi
Just to elaborate on WebDesign10's answer and make it easier to understand...

To bypass msplinks.com all you need is a webserver capable of php

simply create a new php file and use this code

<?php header( 'Location: http://'.$_REQUEST[go] ) ; ?>

and use http://yourwebserver.com/redirect.php?go=www.mp-lan.com (site that is usually redirected back to myspace.com)

hope someone finds this info useful :D

override the msplinks

1. There are few solutions to the msplinks
2. Don't waste time using ANY links in Bulletins

3.Jason above me is correct in saying back up all
code to text files, before you post to myspace.

4.Make a Myspace Group!!!! And DO not add " " around your http://www.links.com SAVE YOUR CODE BEFORE YOU POST IT
The groups profiles are FREE of MSPLINKS and have been for awhile...check out my group

http://groups.myspace.com/addmyspacefriends

5. I have had ok luck with widgets (they all are still NEW)
myspace can block your widget from bulletins...but not your profile, not every widget maker can get past the msplinks, so test it out...

6. use leader links in your profile to connect your group
here leave the " " on your links note class="leaderLink"

sample:

a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=225928354" class="leaderLink" id="leaderLink">
img src="http://a524.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/47/l_e5e2fc0ebb4fa3e72070a84ac4317e8b.jpg" border="0">
strong>ADD+FRINEDS Group Leader:
a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=225928354" class="leaderLink" id="leaderLink">Mac B

this code is not changed to msplinks when posted in the profile

and if your myspace group can have NORMAL code

and all bulletins links are gone...

the solution is:

make a group, add the join code to your profile

post bulletins using only the TEXT URL of your group

I have over 50k freinds and 17k in my group since 8-05-07

today is Dec 4th 07

I will continue the FIGHT
