View Full Version : What's your (MSRS) myspacescriptz url?

I've been thinking about buying a license for Gregs' script to start my own MSRS. I'd like to hear back from other license holders to help me decide if Gregs' script is worth the $297. From everthing I have read so far there is one thing I am convinced of, Greg gives the license holders unmatched support and he is an extremely trustworthy businessman. What I want to know from license holders is 4 things:
1) What is the url for your MSRS running Gregs' script? (I want to see how you have been able to customize your script and see the different forms of content you have been able to add, compared to the base script.)
2) What is it that you like most about the script?
3) What is it that you don't like about the script?
4) Does the money you make from your site justify spending $297 for the script? (If you can compare revenue you make from Gregs' script against revenue you make from other MSRS scripts you run, that would be great.)
I'd appreciate all feedback you can give, positive or negative. I realize Greg may read this thread and you may be inclined to lean more towards the positive, but from what I have read I think Greg can handle a little critisysm, and it will probably only make him strive to make the script even better.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and help!

300 bucks for a MSRS script? Go gotta to be smaking crackin' you pay that much for any myspace script .
Just go to any resource site and copy the codes off of it. Replace the anchor url with yout own URL and thats all you got to do. Or get some script package fomr sitepont or digitlpoint for 30 bucks or something.
Or dont even bother putting any myspace layouts. Just fill the page with keywords and **** and tons of google ads.

The script is GREAT and you will get every dime you spend for it if you really want it to succeed.
You cant buy it and expect to just leave it sit and make massive money.
What you want and work for is what you will get out of it.
I doubt you will get members to post any urls because of some people that troll the forums to cause trouble.
There is no negitive unless you yourself make one.
Basically its what you make of it.
There are members that make $xx.xx per day all the way up to $xxxx.xx per day with it.
What you want and what your willing to work towards is all up to you.

Would that hold up in court? I see tons of sites using the same layouts expect some have monir differences. If you buy a package of DP and it contains lifted layouts who takes the blame? You or the guy who sold the layouts?
I dont use layouts anyway so nothing to worry about from me. But im sure there there ae many people how have copied your layouts though.

As a moderator, isn't it against the forum rules to call people noobs?
Then doesn't that defeat the purpose of the script? The purpose of buying a script is to save time so you dont have to create the layouts yourself. If you have to mod everything then whats the point of buying it?
Google DOES ban or supplemental sites that are copies. Even if there are only a few cpies made.

most of my info is done by myself...a fair bit of the really old stuff was done by my friend who I purchased the site off for 100 bucks in early june, I have done all the promotion since and added the pages. I don't really add any of the bulletins or any thing I just purchased some of the codes for the layouts and stuff of various forums. Overall their isnt heaps of content on my site. It really needs some new stuff, but this is part of why I am selling...I dont have the time....I am a full time student and I need to concentrate 100% on my marketing and advertsising stuff.

sorry for any miss understanding, I feel that gregs script is great in terms of the content and ad blending it comes with, overall its a bargin and a GREAT way for any one new to start out, all the user needs to do is the promotion for the site to get if from square 1 to square 2.
But I feel its a "better" script when you edit the script to make it look a little different like how mr-geek has done...
I have not exact idea on how many of gregs scripts were sold but maby becuase I do a lot of advertising for people on DP I see a fair few of these scripts,
I guess I am looking in only a small area and this is where the scripts were mainly sold. So overall the numebr of gregs scripts in totall is probly small...
I guess other scripts are heaps over used like the myspace scripts on ebay for sale.

This script is not sold on ebay and its not all over the net. You happen to be at a site now that most of the MySpace owners use it.
It has always been said that making it different is suggested. That goes along with adding content ect.
But as far as being all over the NET that is wrong. 100-150 copies have been sold and Im not even sure on that number. I think Im high and only Grg himself can answer that.
Everyone that owns this script knows its a money maker if worked corectly. All the tools and advice are right here in this forum for people to succeed.
We as a Mod TEAM and the existing members are here to help them along the way and help them to success if thats what they want and desire.
This script and forum is unlike any other site on the net. We as owners help each other succeed in our PRIVATE forum.
Ask any active member here if they regret buying the script. I know people here that went from NOTHING to Big Time.

I realize Greg may read this thread and you may be inclined to lean more towards the positive, but from what I have read I think Greg can handle a little critisysm, and it will probably only make him strive to make the script even better.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and help! 1) You can pm me for it if you want ;)
2) The excellent design and how it stands out from soo many other crappy myspace resource sites. Although this is now a "turnkey" it doesn't look like the millions of others out there. Yes, people that are members here or on DP will have seen quite a few because that is where the script was sold and where it "lives". But You can bet that the vast majority of Myspace users haven't seen it and if MSRS bookmark % is anything to judge by, it seems they like them ;). I love the style and it performs well. On top of the script itself you get access to a hell of a support forum where other owners (read: COMPETITORS) are all working together to help each other succeed. Sure, everyone has their own secrets and such as needed but you would be surprised to see the great info a lot of people share. I've never seen anything like it on any other support forums and usually the complete oposite. Greg also cares about our success and isn't out to just sell a million copies and get rich himself. In fact, part of the reason the script is now $297 is because the current owners asked as a way to limit and filter how many copies are out there.
3) at default it doesn't come with all that much content. It does have enough to get started and you will still earn good money if you drive traffic there but you definitely need to add conent. It's good in a way so you go out and get unique content to make your site stand out but makes it harder to get a running start...and a lot of us end up buying the same content packs anyway lol. The other thing is it is quite a bit less features than some of the scripts out there. Meaning, as of now, there is no admin CP/backend and there aren't a whole lot of the cool new generators and such. There is enough to get started but there are other scripts that come standard with a TON of content and features. That being said I wouldn't trade my one copy of MSRS for 5 copies of another script even if it cost much more. And Greg is always working to add more features and content as well. In fact, the script is still in it's infancy so there is a bright future for it and it has a lot of room to grow and be even better (Greg mentioned there will be an adminCP in ver2). But by then, who knows, the scirpt price might go up ;).
4. absolutley. In fact I'm getting close to buying my 3rd copy (note: moderators don't get free copies or even discounts). I have other scripts with highly niched content that compare as far as CTR but that is it. My MSRS makes me the most, easly. But as PGZ mentioned, as with any script it does take some effort and work on your part. At the very least you have to drive traffic to the site. If you do you will automatically make money. You would also be advised to add content and try to customize the site a bit to help make it more sticky and get users to come back. Just installing the script on a domain and then walking away won't do it (unless you have one hell of a domain with great type in traffic lol). But as long as you get traffic to the site you should be happy and depending on how much traffic that is, you should be able to earn back your investment in under a month.
I have seen a few people sell their MSRS sites, or try to sell their sites, on DP. For the most part, the only ones I have seen decide to sell are people who haven't put any effort past the install. Most have the exact default install even! For those that put any effort in and start getting traffic, well, they know the value and you rarely see those for sale ;).

4) Does the money you make from your site justify spending $297 for the script? (If you can compare revenue you make from Gregs' script against revenue you make from other MSRS scripts you run, that would be great.)
1. I don't care if people know my sites so, http://pimpin-profiles.com/ & http://www.greatmyspacelayouts.com/ is the other that run Greg's MSRS script.
2. The way it is designed, I'm not talking about visually (which is good btw), I'm talking about the way the script actually works, smart directory layout, no need for a db, modular, etc. Makes for a very good base to build from, and having content automatically added is a breeze.
3. The cost!
4. Errrm, lemme see first copy I bought the cost of the script was recovered in a few days, with the second MSRS site I bought that for 1k from someone else, and it took < 1 month to make that 1k. I have a heavily modified turnkey and that makes no where near the amount dollar or CTR wise that MSRS does.
With regard to number 3 above, I'm not saying it's to expensive btw, rather the opposite.

Initially 297 bucks may seem like a good bit of moolaa to lay down. However, if you have spent anytime on the DP forums and here as well, you'll see just how commited greg is to his "craft", and not only that, but to the community in general! I have never seen someone like greg who delivers high quality products and unmatched support as he does. Hell, I've seen many times when he offers his help for free and well beyond the call of duty to make sure people in need of help get it.
I'm new to the whole myspace thing, and just recently purchased MSRS myself. I am finding that it is a great script to work with. Currently I am having Scilynt, a member here, install my script and help customize it. However as I have been picking his brain and going through all the files myself, I am finding it to be very user friendly and in a short amount of time will be very easy and ideal to work with.
Frankly, what sold me on buying the script was my impression of greg, his work ethic, and dedication and sincere care for this community. The price is well worth the investment of friendship within the community, support, and continued improvements to a script that definitely kicks ***. I seriously doubt you will find the support you can get not only from greg, but from a dedicated community of MSRS owners as you will here!
I'm currently working on adding my own content and am having a blast doing it. I haven't made any money on the site yet, but when I am happy with how I want my site to be and start getting it out to the public, I'm sure I'll do well with it.

I did this about 4 times now. I make about $0 - 0.04 cents a day. I wouldn't say $300 is worth it for a script which will help me make that up in about 10 or more years. The only reason im not that pissed is because i have another site (not myspace related) that is bringing some cash in, otherwise i would be outraged. I made a mistake and i'll know for future reference to do alot more research before purchasing a script for that amount of money.

It isn't magic... it's just a basic script... Did you really expect it to make what it cost back in a couple days?
If you try and upgrade it yourself in the areas it lacks, maybe it will turn around, you spent the money now, so you must have thought it better than what you have so give it a go, nothing to lose I guess

@DonKon,
Please do not place blame on your lack of success on myself or the script. Most owners report making hundreds, if not thousands, some tens of thousands per month. I have never had someone flat out tell me they can't make money with it though. The best type of traffic is myspace traffic. If you can't win getting myspace traffic, you're doing something wrong. That's not an insult by any means so please don't take it as such. I'm just baffled at your response though. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss this further.

The keys for success with an msrs site are :
1) Traffic
2) Traffic
3) Traffic
4) Traffic
5) New images/layouts/ e.t.c
6) Traffic
7) Traffic
8) Traffic
I succeed to make some good money thanks to Greg's script from scratch.
Try to get/buy some traffic and you will get your money back.
I have some sites that gives me zero money every month ....
But these site hadn't traffic also ...
So.. bring traffic and you will get money...
Greg's script worth the money cause it's a good product with excellent support.
I have already 2 copies and propably buy some in the next days.
Making money on the internet its a game... but not an easy game....
You have to read , try and learn... If you keep trying after a few months you will have a good income from your sites.

**This is a reply to a post that has been deleted by the person who wrote it. I'm leaving it here because I think it's important to show people there is nothing funny going on**
First off, there is no policy of removing negative posts about anything. If there was I would be the first to resign my VOLUNTEER position here.
If your talking about a number of posts that were deleted in this thread, that had nothing to do with the product itself, it was between myself and a user arguing about "his" layouts, Greg requested it be taken to PM.
Somewhere there is a post about a guy having to wait 8 hours to get his copy, you will see that part way through that thread I suddenly say "Why is this here", and then a bit of a discussion between the mods.
One mod decided to move the post because the issue had been solved, and as I pointed out to him, doing so would create the belief that negative stuff was removed. I restored the orginal thread and deleted the moderator discussion.
People saw those deletes and wondered what was going on, so another mod restored them and then explained what had happened.
There is no policy, there is no conspiracy, there's just a bunch of volunteers trying to do their best, and sometimes they make mistakes (because there really is no policy other than "do the right thing")
I have said before and I'll say it again, there are a number of things that make Greg's script stand out, one of these is the community, and another is the support.
Yes I do agree with you that the support has slowed down recently, and updates haven't happened as soon as I would of liked them to, but I'm not worried about it, in the end I know that he will deliver.
DonKon has stated that he's not happy, as you will see I posted a message asking him for his URL. I did that so I could give him a hand, thats the thing about this place, if you have a problem or need help someone will often help out, but no one can help if they don't know.
And that my friend is the true value of the MSRS script, not the layout, not the coding, not the supplied content, not Greg, it's the community of peers who will work together and help each other out.
Before I bought a copy of MSRS the only dealing I had ever had with Greg was a small argument on DPF in some sales thread where I made some comment and Greg told me off for "hijacking", from then until the day I actually bought MSRS I thought Greg was a stuck up a$$h014 [he's not btw], so don't assume that everyone here has been a long time friend of Greg.

lmao it seems this way...
I will probly buy this script as a test,
I already have a fair bit of traffic comming to my Myspace site as I have done a lot of advertising for it and I have affiliates who have access to massive traffic,
I will test this script and compare it with my current earnings to compare if it is a money maker, or if its not.
I will provide the stats and every thing, sounds like a good plan to me, now who wants to provide the copy of the script for a discounted price :D

You'de be hard pressed to provide stats after actually putting work into it Connections. There's a reason people defend the script so vaguely. They want to make sure people know it's a performer without revealing how much of a performer it is ;)
Discount? It's so hard to say no to people when they ask so nicel..... No. ;)
It would be a easy test to proove,
dodgey site earnings VS. Greg J's script.
would look good for your promo/testimonials :D
it could be the winner in brining you a lot more business a lil test liek this :D
just a thought...

I've already done a test similar to this. Took a site that had a turnkey on it that was getting a few thousand impressions a day making a couple dollars a day, put MSRS on it, watched earnings multiply immediately.
Again, with the vague statements ;)

You won't get specifics and there is good reason for that. There is no way to guarantee any specific numbers. It's crazy but you could have two exact same sites and drive traffic to both and you would end up with different stats even if they have the exact same content and layout and such.
Greg may give you an average range that most members get but don't take that as a definite. It could be a little higher or a little lower depending on the traffic you drive and what you do with your site. I've seen a bit of a drop in my CTR but part of it is not driving a lot of new traffic and because my homepage is just so busy they get distracted by all the other stuff and don't click links right away. If you don't drive new traffic your CTR will drop as well because repeat users will click ads less often in general.

No you WANT to know, lots of people have asked and the best you'll get is a lot < 150.

Connections: No I didn't misunderstand, the answer is what is the typical numbers that are thrown about...Greg doesn't wish to state exactly how many copies have been sold.

I would love to give you specifics, or even a general idea - but as Scilynt pointed out; there's just no guarantees. There's no guideline. No average. No general idea.
For instance:
I am down to only a small handful of myspace sites because I don't have the time to promote them anymore. Of them I have one that makes an EPC of about $0.02. Another has an EPC of over $.20. I have one that gets a steady $.45 a click, but only before a certain number of impressions. More than about 2500 and it starts to plummet. All the same script, same layout and similar color schemes. Identical content and comparable traffic. If there were ever three sites poised to be guinea pigs for a controlled experiment, these would be they. Until we throw in the unknown variable that is AdSense.
Im not sure how much you know of AdSense, but Smart Pricing can be pretty dumb at times. Which is why seasoned myspace webmasters tend to have a handful of sites. Rather than eating the $.02 EPC I can forward that traffic the whatever site is pulling in the best EPC for that day/week. How to drive traffic? Set up other sites to feed it. People love free services and there are tons of ways you can offer free services to myspacers. I have one site that isn't myspace related at all, but it provides a free service to myspacers. Because a couple of myspacers found it and started using it, this site went from doing 732 unique visitors in November of last year to over 700,000 unique visitors for this month. 90% of that is myspace traffic so naturally I use it to promote myspace sites.
We myspace pros have tried to stress that it's not as simple as just throwing up your site and sitting back adding a little content here and there. Maybe tossing out bulletins for traffic. You're going up against people who think about how to work the system to their benefit. The system in this case is where to pull and put your traffic. We all start with a single site and build its traffic, then move on to another. I paid attention to my stats a LOT in the beginning and now I know exactly how to get guaranteed traffic to a new myspace site that I put up within weeks from the big 3 search engines (no I'm not giving away this secret, because it's not difficult to figure out).
We do it because it's fun. It's like a chess game and the more you think about it, the more you're going to win.
And if I go on any longer I won't sleep and I'll ramble on for another half hour and end up comparing orange juice to avocados.
-Cheers.
Edit, as for how many copies are out there.... I don't disclose that information for obvious reasons.

mmm..... avocado juice....
Keeping close track of stats is the key. See what your visitors are looking for, and then bomb them with new content. If they are looking for Stewie images, then upload 100 funny Stewie images. If they are looking for Jessica Simspon layouts, then upload 50 jessica simpson layouts. Give them what they are looking for and they will tell their friends "dude, you've got to check out this site, it has everyrthing!"

Good luck being a webmaster if you expect your sites to give instant income without any real work

lol, with myspace sites, you have to get over the initial "hump" before the money really rakes in.
the worst time to sell is when your getting around 1000 uniques a day because that will continue to go up really quickly.

What is this on MSRS sites?
http://www.munchmyspace.com/_inc/images/close.gif
And why does it sometimes link to myspacescriptz.com? Other times another MSRS' and sometimes (but less often) the site it is displayed on? Just a license thingy or something?
It's probably very unimportant but since finding it... I be baffled! And now it is on my mind =P
(I found it on my hunt for page counters lol, using Firefox, and turning View -> Page style -> No Style)

I am pretty sure that is part of the color picker in the "basic codes and charts" section. I know the color picker frame image is watermarked with myspacescriptz and a lot of people don't realize/care and leave it.

Well watching all the "big guys" argue about how good an bad actually the script is ....I can give you an advise which actually comes from a newbie.
The ancient greeks considered observation as a great virtue.
1.Be patient.
2.Buy the script
3.add content
4. Be patient
5.try different schemes of advertising
6. Focus on the ones which give you best results.
7. Observe the big guys argue about stuff here...you will learn many things from them........look for their posts here....look for their posts on dp. Find yourself a myspace guru which doesn't know that you exist. Be a ninja :)
8. And most of all be a goose ;)
9. If you don't know what it means to be a goose then you are not observing enough...look deeper into this forum.
10. Eventually receive checks and post your first advise here ...like me :P
11. And never ever ask if the script is worth the 300 bucks...cuz either way you already paid for it....just move on with the next steps and the answer will come. If you fail to succeed with this project....then you'd know that you receive experience for the 300 bucks. Experience has its tangible value.
The only thing that I have regrets for.....is that I missed purchasing a link on fryman's website. This really make me feel bad, cuz it was a good deal... lol :P
Your goose wannabe,
Nik
