Why do people make Facebook groups? I just saw this - Welcome to Facebook | Facebook - there's no URL or anything, what's the point? When you have a group that large can you still mass message them (I thought the limit for messaging was a couple thousand members)?

You're right, you can't mass message group members on FB for groups larger than 5k I believe. And if you have a fan page, most people won't see your updates on their feed either.
I had an iPad group before the iPad was even announced. It was the largest iPad group, too (100+ members woo).
The day of the press conference, my group gets taken down by FB, and about 100 other groups appear and hundreds of thousands of people join them.
Thanks Facebook.

Without mass messaging or notifications, how priceless is it? Do that many people actually visit the group page randomly?
The group itself had no activity at all in the beginning. Masses of people joined and no one posted anything for a while, BUT people were clicking the link. At a very nice CTR as well.
How many members in the group? And over what period of time?
I'm pretty sure he said 5.5 total, not a day ...
People are using it to spam. It's a quick way to get banned and blacklisted on networks for little profit.
First off, I meant to say 5.5K / week not day. My b :cool-smiley-008:
And to clarify I did not spam anyone in any way. I created the group and invited my initial friends into the group. $100 spent on ads that only promoted the group itself... Not spammy by any means.
Other than that the group grew organically on its own. I never send anything out or message people so I dont see how it could be considered spam. People simply click the link in the group sidebar. My AM told me that the merchant was lovin' the quality of the traffic so I dont see myself getting banned for good converting traffic anytime soon.
