Manipulating Websites like FriendFury, FriendStorm, FriendCraze

[FLRT Network]

Well I've known about this for a month or so, but I saw a post over on sitepoint from the owner of FriendFury that their system is going to be revamped and this trick will be fixed... so it might as well be shared.

This method can REALLY get you hundreds of friend requests a day, every day.

Maybe you've stumbled upon these MySpace "Friend Sharing" websites, where users submit their friend id and add other users to accumulate "points" with are then converted into adds on their own MySpace profile .. users can accumulate even more points by referring people to the service. Well recently it has been made known to me that on some of these websites, like FriendFury and FriendStorm, can be manipulated!

sounds nice, sort of time consuming i'll admit, but it does seem a rather good way to earn friends without getting busted by myspace for bots.

i'll look into it and post my results or whatever whenever i get around to it..

[fryman]

The only thing this will get you is a bunch of crap friends that are no good for anything. No "normal" user joins these train and whoring sites so you are just requesting a bunch of spammers to add you.

Quality over quantity...

[Connections]

Yeah usually like trains and these friend adding sites all the users are despo's who want to have 1 million friends and they dont even know any one on their profile, they dont read bulletins becuase soo many of them come through every second.

Worst way to market your site via these sources.

Organic friend ads are the best imo, you get people with only 50-200 friends adding you and these are usually noobs to myspace so they read every thing, I have a profile that gets about 60-100 organic friend ads a day.

Aslo adding via specific demographics via friend bots such as AR is another great way to get a good targeted list, with decent quality friends as they are straigh off the recently online list.

With any advertising you want to target via demographics, you dont want to have a spammed list of utter rubbish, becuase to any one in the marketing game its worthless...

[FLRT Network]

I dunno, I have alot of returning profile views from all the friends that added me. Also I've only received 4 "bot" comments (i know they were because i have html disabled, and they still post html tags)

[mcfox]

So basically you are discussing how to bypass the site setup and just er, spam them with bots?

[Jordan]

I've done that with friendcraze.com, only got 200-300 friends in 2 days from it...

It's really not worth it, and as fryman said, they're just a bunch of spammers desperate to add as many friends as possible - they don't actually pay attention to bulletins etc. at all.

4 comments out of how many friends?

2000 friends?

that is really bad...

[FLRT Network]

? no, thats four BOT comments i noticed, i've received other comments, i'd say from the 1,000 adds i got from these programs, about 20 sent a comment to me right away, and about 10 replied to comments i sent them.

i use this method on top of adding users from interest groups i post in, adding random users, adding users i find from google .. i believe each link back from someone's "view all friends" is a little help, so i do what i can do get as many friends as i can.

who knows, maybe one day if i make a myspace account with one million friends, someone will buy it. : )

I've actually done well with sites like these for my resource site. No they are not targeted but for drawing in traffic it has gone well. For marketing I don't turn to these sites for obvious reasons.

Figured this little trick would be gone sooner or later, I've seen it pop up a fewtoo many times lately in some of the larger forums so guess it has been catching on.

[Helios]

I'd rather target a specific group or target instead of just getting random friends. Like fryman pointed out, these friends would be essentially useless.

Are people really having that hard of a problem getting friend requests out? It's really not that much different than 4/5 months ago, just the methods to get there.

[FLRT Network]

The problem is with the way you are seeing it.

We have no trouble getting friend requests, but there is a significant margin/use these requests that are not targeted.

The saying really rings true, "one mans junk is another mans treasure"

[Helios]

So what exactly would you do with these junk friends? Because to me there is no diamond in the rough here.

[fryman]

Agreed, I don;t see how a bunch of spammers can be a "treasure"

[FLRT Network]

Many of their profiles have PR, you can use bots to send comments, thats more backlinks from higher ranked pages.

Just one of the uses.

[Helios]

But you're getting so many trash friends...again I want to remind you of quality of quantity. If I wanted to grab high PR comments, I would just run a script to pull out myspace IDs that have only PR4 or higher, and then add those as friends.

[fryman]

Tha value of PR you would get from a profile would be so tiny anyway that it is not even worth considering

[FLRT Network]

I however don't think so, I'll take both the quality and the quantity together, not just one by itself. I have the time and the resources to maximize use of both.

well i am bringing this thread back since the new version of friendstorm is out and for them to fix the sploit will be very hard, i know have a clone of the file they are using on their website to generate the points to get thousands of friends daily with none requests sent and thousands coming in. it is a single file and all you have to do is click the turbo button once and then go about your business on your computer, dont have to set up a clicker and waste your time. This product is now being sold.

If you want more info pm me.
Demo of it on youtube. search for username cubanitomvp, there are 2 videos there of how it works.

Thanks
