Sponsored Links on Myspace


Question Posted Thursday December 18 2008, 11:52 am

Where do sponsored links come from? My sponsored link says..Grants for Women"..But my husbands sponsored link says either, "Girls That Want Older Men" or " Married Men having an Affair".
Does his say that because he went to a site looking for young girls or to have an affair?

Nope, it definitely does NOT mean that! Please don't become paranoid or anything over it, either.

Myspace is stupid, urghh! Their sponsored links come from the information the users have entered into the system.

He is listed as a married male, so the links that pop up are what some married men can be into.

My Myspace stats are a straight 18 year old female & I get some strange porn-like links, but I've never visited a porn site in my life.

It's just a bunch of dumb stuff.

no. it does not mean he is doing that.
myspace looks at people's information that is provided on their profile. since he is a male and is probably under "married" in his information, the sponsored link will show things that they suspect someone with the same information like "male" and "married" would use.
such as,
on my myspace, my sponsored link is "the average 14 year old girl's IQ is 103. take the quiz."
dont worry.
myspace stuff doesnt mean anything.(:
hope i helped.
