I spent $100 on Myspace Ads in 2026. Here’s what happened.

Everyone says it’s a ghost town, but someone is still paying the server bills. I ran a test campaign targeting "Classic Rock" fans to see if any real humans are left or if it’s 100% bots.

The CPC was dirt cheap, but the "users" are... interesting. Has anyone else tried extracting traffic from here lately, or am I just burning money for nostalgia?

I've never run ads on MySpace. Instead, I've grown my presence by creating niche-specific content. My posts still get pretty good engagement, so I believe MySpace is still an active and worthwhile platform.
 
Although Myspace isn't as active as it used to be, it still has a loyal and fairly active user base. I think it remains a platform with untapped potential for marketing and promotion.
 
Going to give it a try then
Just not sure of the demography of the users

running campaigns on dead platforms with dirt cheap CPC is just burning budget because that traffic is driven almost entirely by automated bot farms, offering zero conversion value and no real quality leads for your funne
 
Treat it more as an experiment than a serious traffic source.

Cheap CPC doesn't mean much if the traffic doesn't convert. I'd rather spend the budget on platforms with a more active audience.
 
Thes real test is whether those clicks lead to genuine sessions, conversion, or just nostalgia driven traffic.
 
Cheap cpc is nice but if the traffic doesn’t convert it’s just wasted money just test engagement first.
 
can you give any more details about the test? What do you mean by interesting?
 
I think MySpace is better suited for generating organic traffic rather than spending money on paid advertising. I don't think running ads on MySpace would be very effective.
 
You spent $100 on the experiment, and I think that money gave you valuable experience, even though you didn’t get the results you were hoping for. Nowadays, very few people are willing to spend money on advertising on Myspace.
 
my space is dead bud.The few user's left are either bots or people who haven't logged in for year's cheap cpc doesnt mean anything when nothing converts
 
Maybe it was a worthwhile experiment. You’ve helped a lot of people learn more about MySpace Ads before they spend money advertising on the platform.
