You jack a page, now you have a starting point to feed IE exploits at all the victim's friends when they visit. You get lucky and nail somebody with 2,349 "friends", that's a lot of leverage. Especially if part of the thing you shoot them is something to whack *their* Myspace page and go viral. High hit rates by people who are likely not security/privacy conscious. What's not to like about it if you're a black hat trying to monetize it? :)
