Media Breakaway ordered to pay MySpace 6 Million

MySpace has won another lawsuit against a spammer Scott Richter and his Web marketing company, Media Breakaway LLC of Westminster, Colorado. MySpace has been aggressively targeting people who spam their website. This is just an example of how a good thing gets abused by Internet Marketers. It was not too long ago that eBooks on how to market to MySpace and even software that helped you do this was sold throughout Internet Marketing forums all over the web. As a result you have MySpace fighting back and winning.

A lot of marketers do not think about these types of things when they post how to do something to generate traffic and then others start abusing the methods until they are worthless to everyone. That is one reason I don’t sell eBooks on the techniques I use to generate traffic. I publish posts at times that give some insight into methods I use, but i don’t publish my best secrets. Well I might once a lot of people start to figure it out and then I’m on to something else while others are spamming an otherwise effective method to the point that it does not work any longer. Wake up people and keep some secrets to yourself. You can make more money long term from the traffic than you can short term from an eBook.
