What is webspam?OK. Everybody who reads this knows what spam is, therefore I assume most of you know what web spam is. For the others who have no idea I may say that this basically is unwanted content - text, links, banners, etc., made on your site or forum or blog by bots or human beings with the one and only purpose - advertising and marketing, as well as delivering high amounts of traffic from the search engines like Google to the products offered by the web-spam. No matter how it will affect the reputation of the product or website it shouts about, web-spam is intended to cover as many places it can get into as its possible, and to "infect" them with HUGE amount of content, in order to make use of the public it will be visible to (web crawlers and people).
Now think of what are the targets of such web-spam. First of all the most attacked sites by web-spammers are the public Forums. You all know what forum is and what is its purpose. Web Forums are places where people can communicate with each other, share opinions, post articles, news, suggestions, discuss everything they want. So replace "people" with "web-spam bots". For one potential web-spam bot this is opportunity to post in public huge amounts of content relevant to the product it is intended to popularize and advertise. You all have seen such posts e.g. "Buy cheap Viagra!" "New Paris Hilton video" "Penis enlargement with pills", etc. of course followed with numerous links to the products(sites).
Sit tight...
Now I will get more specific about this. To understand what you are going to read you may need basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) knowledge and experience. We (you and I) all know how demanding is for a website to have MUCH content, updated content, relevant content to rank in the SERPs(search engine result pages) , in other words as the famous slogan I may say "Content is King". So do not think of web-spam as spam, think of it as content, because that is what it actually is - MUCH content.
That was preface, now the recipe:
1. First you will need one platform where public content can be posted freely. Even without login. The best choice is a highly used forum or blog, in order to make it easier for the bots to access and post.
2. Second you need to narrow a new site of yours relevant to a type of content among the usually spammed for (adult, drugs, gambling, etc.) you will some how make profit of. AdSense, Affiliate programs, Referrals, you name it.
3. Third step is to setup the platform and the site, interlinked of course and to popularize them a bit, just a bit. One advice, make a filter of your platform - censure filter in order to prevent posts containing words not relevant to the products you want to sell. For example if you rank for Adult Content filter Drugs and Gambling. Also you need to disable URL posting in the content which bots post on your public platform. We do not want others to profit from the spam on your site, no matter it is made by others (HUZZAH!).
4 . Fourth you need to do only one thing, enter the platform (blog or forum) you have made once a week and delete all the spam in it.
If you still cannot get the idea here is the explanation. So as a human this whole parade seems to you just like a stupid forum, outrageously infected by spam and a lazy Administrator who rarely cleans the useless stuff from the platform.
But for a web crawler (Googlebot) this seems like a very popular site, non-stop supported, updated and even with relevant content. So what happened we have the magic recipe: MUCH content, updated content, relevant content. And soon you will see how boosting it is for your site and platform to develop and rank highly and get tons of visits from the SERPs.
Of course that is just one thing or trick you can do to get high amounts of traffic to your profitable site non-legal useless(or not) site. There are many, many others you first have to do before getting to such nasty tricks. But anyway I saw it with my own eyes. While I was SEOing and climbing my way up the SERP stairs for Gambling content, the very fact that this situation happened on my forum brought to my site visits from searches like "volvo" "naked teenage girls" and more. Now I admit that in this case I have very off-topic and not-relevant traffic brought to my site which would be almost useless, but just imagine what happens when the spam content is filtered and targeted.
Imagine... and enjoy!
