MYSPACE CHANGED THEIR CODES SO THAT LINKS NOW GO THROUGH THEIR SITE. This is supposed to protect you from spammers or other malicious individuals, but I think it just reduces your accountability on the internet. People should be able to see the link they are clicking on….
That being said..
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. I can see how people come about my blog page, by what searches. There has been a number which came about by the search “how do I put URL into myspace?” which I interpret as people wanting to know how to put in a link on a myspace comment or any other site.
IF YOU WANT TO COPY AND PASTE THE CODE, CLICK THIS LINK
BELOW IS A VISUAL EXAMPLE ONLY. WordPress messes up the quotes and this will not work unless you replace the quotes.
<a href=”http://orlickenterprise.com”>my site</a>
will give us: my site
If you want the link to open in a New Window – this is nice, you probably do…
<a href=”http://WEBSITE URL” target=”_blank”>TEXT TO DISPLAY</a>
Which will yield:
my other site
you can use that code on most social networking sites (myspace, not facebook). its html.
A trick I have been doing is that all the code I frequently use to write comments on profiles and blogs I put in a notepad file on my desktop for easy access. In that file, I have some numbers I have to enter frequently like some long PIN numbers and also the code for inserting a picture and the code for linking.
It is code, and it is fickle. You won’t leave room for mistakes if you cut and paste from your notepad file. And its quick!

Hi,
recently myspace changed this all around. The information you provided above no longer works and I can no longer paste up a link in a comment.
I was wondering if you knew anything about this change?
thanks.

I tried to put in an HTML link in a MySpace video comment using the link anchor tag that you suggest (i’m actually well versed in HTML) and the comment just printed the entire tag as text. It did not ‘interpret’ the HTML. So recently I just put in a link with http thinking it would print it and it turned it into [link]!! WTF! Anyone else had a similar experience?

Your page was very informative, however, myspace is not accepting my link. I have typed everything EXACTLY as your example.
At first the code would get wiped-out. When I would check the code in the editor, it was getting overwritten by someother link (!?) Now that it is saved in the editor, I click on the link and it goes directly to myspace.com. When I right click (properties) the link, it shows myspace.com. What could be going on here???
Frustrated in FL.

I tried using this script “TEXT TO DISPLAY” without the outside quotes and was still redirected to myspace.com.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work, please let me know.
thank-you,

I can copy and paste my Myspace url into Google, etc., and it does not find http://www.myspace.com/edwardhart
I have noticed this also happens with Yahoo 360 and Windows Live.
I can search Myspace for edward hart and eventually find my profile. Clicking on it takes me to
http://www.myspace.com/edwardhart
Is this a bug in the system? How common is this problem?
I wish you well,
Edward Hart

Seems that MySpace strips out the link code and redirects to your MySpace. However, I just gsve up and put the url (www.suffolkandcool.com) in without any html malarky and it created the correct functional link. OK, it goes via the MySpace warning page but it seems to work just fine.
Best,
Peter

Leo:
i was having the same exact problem,but now it’s fine because all i did was take out the ‘www.’ part or the url and now it works for me. so when i click on the text it goes straight to where i want it to go, instead of myspace.com. try it. take out the “www.” part. see if it helps.

Yes Guys..
I think as the link building is a smartest way of marketing, myspace probably has removed complete option of this. This is doing worse to remaining and normal users who doesn’t even know the link building meaning.. THATS THE REASON MAKING YOU ALL SUFFERED.
But let me understand one more thing.. If we give information of something to our friends, to let them understand well if we give click the link option and gave link there, will that link be counted as a link for SEO????
Please help me if any person here is of Search Engine Optimization..

Here I missed to quote the main thing.

In the above context “giving information” means “while messaging.. or wall posting or commenting anything..
