SE Spam in the News
- How to get billions of pages in Google
If you'd run this search yesterday then you would have seen a
spam site getting 5.5 billion results in Google. Today, it was
down to only 2.1 billion, when I tried it. Click a few results,
however, and you'll see it's pure spam.

- Email FAQs
Why sink good money and resources into a questionable list rental
where your legitimate offer may be seen as spam and your brand
and offer both are spurned? Moreover, most list rentals fail miserably.
With the low cost and equally measurable and targeted platform
of paid search engine marketing available, the smart money is
moving here to acquire leads and increase their email database
size.

- The Search Engine Spam Police
Those who take extreme measures to rank well on search engines
are likely to be labeled spammers. There are some clear no-nos,
but it is mainly an issue of intent and proportion. In a session
entitled "The Spam Police," representatives from Google,
Inktomi, and FAST explored the issue of spamming the search engines.

- Wordpress is a very popular open-source blogging software package,
with a great official website maintained by Matt Mullenweg, its
founding developer. I discovered last week that since early February,
he's been quietly hosting at least 120,000 168,000 articles on

Sure, it's tempting to put together a keyword seeded site, URL,
and folder system to try to rank highly in some of the search
engines which are now, or have a history of ranking such sites

- Quick Indications of Low Quality Search Spam
As more and more of the web becomes spam (as a total % of the
web) engines are going to get more selective about what they let
in their indexes and people are going to be more selective about
what they are willing to link at.

- The Classification of Search Engine Spam
The fact that there are only two types of search engine spam derives
from the fact that search engine algorithms use only two basic
factors to calculate relevancy; on-the-page factors and off-the-page
factors. An example of an on-the-page factor is keyword density
- how early and often the keywords (words searched for) appear
in the body copy of a page. An example of an off-the-page factor
is link popularity i.e. how many other pages on the Web link to
a particular page. In fact, depending on the link popularity algorithm,
it can be spammed with either content spam or meta spam

- The question here is never whether or not the search engine
is greedy (they are all highly commercial ventures); the question
is always wether they're putting a priority on the best possible
results, whatever the search engine considers that to be (and
just having organic listings obviously doesn't mean the listings
are good). And in that respect, it seems, Yahoo often fails.

- Organic vs PPC vs Paid Inclusion
Many search engines had to find new revenue streams as the dot
com bubble burst and targeted pay per click text ads provided
that stream.
Yahoo! also has a paid inclusion program which is said to ensure
coverage but not to have any effect on relevancy. Listing in their
paid inclusion does get your site a human review though, so it
may help improve your relevancy scores some.
