I am with you guys, had issues with the buttons working in my browsers. Took forever to get an ad submitted (Thanks to jstme for the help).
Today was a damn waste I got about 2400 impressions, 2 clicks and 0 converts. Didn't spend much but didn't see a dime.
wish everyone more luck tomorrow.

Figured I'd start a new thread with a less retarded title which will be easier to find for reference later. Hopefully it will become as epic as the facebook ads thread.
Here's the link to sign up, as well as a rundown I've written including most of the problems i've found in the first day: myspace ads.
My first impressions: Awesome. Not as awesome as facebook ads when they first rolled out, due to the $.25 minimum per click, but still pretty damn good if you can get an epc higher than $.25, which you should be able to if you aren't retarded.
Approval process is MUCH MUCH MUCH more relaxed than facebook. They're letting pretty much everything through. Enjoy it while it lasts!
My first ad stats:
2,455,414 Impressions
1,742 Clicks
0.07% CTR
Doubled my money so far. Hows everyone else doin?

It's going to get spread anyway. Who would you rather be making money off of it?: a) some retards you don't know b) your friends.
I'm still making plenty off facebook ads almost a year later. Why? Because I'm smarter and more dedicated than you are.
Still, your just creating unnecessary competition, which makes no sense...... It's almost like your giving part of a business plan away for free...
And who says I'm not smart and dedicated? I think I might be a bit smarter than you when I know when to keep something on the DL. All you've done is created more competition and probably increased the bids across the board by encouraging others to join.

First off - nice blog post on Myspace, Cakes. 
But now, I have to vent...
I gotta say I'm pretty pissed about them not allowing non-US advertisers. I know, I know... "Americans don't give a shit about foreigners" - but Myspace is fucking themselves in their jailbait ass by not allowing more advertisers in.
When pretty much all the other self-serve ppc platforms allow international advertisers - what made Myspace think it would be smart to block out tons of $$$ from advertisers from all over the world? I'd love to hear one, valid, logic reason for this decision.
As long as the advertiser has a valid creditcard (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, whatever), what do they care if I happen to live in Europe? Non-US affiliates can be just as advertising savvy in the US markets.
So US-based advertisers can promote their ads to all Myspace users internationally? But International users cannot even promote their ads to their own countrymen? Wtf?

The system they have in place to optimize the ads was built by Strategic Data Corporation and the system for now is US only with Canada and UK on-deck for integration.
The self-serve model the self-serve relies on is fully dependent on this system and it seems that it takes FIM a good amount of work to port the SDC platform country to country.
