In this 3rd part of our three part series we will now focus on aggressive spam and astroturf
Some techniques used in aggressive spam and astroturf include buying domain names and dedicating a whole domain /website to spam and astroturf one of the reasons this technique is so popular is that it’s relatively cheap,quick and easy and incredibly efficient in raising search engine ranking and optimization
Below you will find a few graphic examples we collected recently
As you can see above, in my opinion this has all the hallmarks of an aggressive campaign in this instance could the obvious message here be you can buy Arctic Silver at Walmart? I can only imagine that a high level retailer like Walmart would have issue with this sort of activity in “advertising”
another two examples one clearly showing the purposeful misspelling
of the product to to insure a higher ranking in a website that is meant to be a portal for the re sale of automobiles :
To further illustrate the magnitude of this modern phenomena
we give you the never ending spammy whammy website we called it this for it seems to have no end and it’s ALL spammy content where you can find everything from marital aids to the latest smart phones to
cameras to the latest gaming consoles and everything in between including thermal cooling paste
Of note we spent fifteen minutes on the site and it would keep loading content of literally thousands of products
