How to get a backlink from Myspace?
Myspace is only worth using as a backlink source when a public creator, artist, band, or personal profile makes sense for the brand. The fastest path is a link in the profile About section; the inspected public example showed the external URL rendered as a Myspace shortlink with no nofollow, ugc, or sponsored token on the profile-page anchor.
Method: Add a URL to your public profile About section
- Create or sign in to a Myspace account from the signup page.
- Set up a public profile with a real name, image, and enough context that the link does not look like a throwaway SEO profile.
- Edit the profile’s About text and add your canonical website URL or a short branded URL.
- Save the profile and open it while signed out or in a private browser window to confirm the link is visible publicly.
- Inspect the published link before relying on it. Myspace can rewrite outbound URLs through the
mysp.acshortener, so the visible backlink may be a redirect instead of a direct link to your domain.
The Tom Anderson profile demonstrates the pattern: the About text contains a visible external URL, but the actual href is a mysp.ac shortlink rather than the destination domain.
Link quality notes
The sampled profile anchor used target="_blank" without a rel="nofollow", ugc, or sponsored attribute, so this page marks the method as dofollow-looking. Still, the link target is a Myspace-controlled short URL that redirects onward, and profile pages on an old social network should be scored much lower than Myspace’s root-domain authority.
Use this as a supporting brand/profile citation, not as a primary SEO link-building tactic. A complete profile with real music, creator, or public-person context is more defensible than a bare profile that exists only to host one URL.

Provider overview
Myspace is a social entertainment and music-profile platform where public user and artist profiles can include short profile text, posts, media, and connections. The practical backlink path is a public profile About link, which Myspace may rewrite through its own `mysp.ac` shortener.
Minimum requirements to get a backlink from Myspace
- Public Myspace profile
- Short profile bio or post text
Key challenges to get a backlink from Myspace
- Redirected link: Inspected profile links point through Myspace's
mysp.acshortener before reaching the destination, so treat the link as a redirect-backed citation rather than a clean direct homepage link. - Low current activity: Myspace's root-domain authority is high, but a fresh profile is unlikely to have much page-level strength or referral traffic without real audience activity.
- Profile quality risk: Thin profiles created only for a link can look abandoned or spammy; use this only when a music, creator, or public profile presence makes sense.
