| Repeat with me: The Problem Is Not The Spammers
It is the people who buy products from spammers that are to blame. I'm not talking about the l33t BBR readers, but l33t BBR readers' grandfathers who buy Viagra from spammers at $1 a bottle, or fall for make $$$ quick schemes.
If there's demmand for spam products, guess what, there will be spammers.
Maybe if Congress imposed a 200% "Spam tariff" the problem would be solved. |

This has nothing to do with that.. unlike email spam, this is not targeted to sell a product, the purpose is increasing google ranking.

No, but it isn't as good as Google's system, and appears to be easier to game -- just try searching for the Hilton Hotel in Paris. |
