Recently, its been reported that some adult Webmasters are spamming their own sites with different combinations of numbers, hoping to cash in on searchers looking for various sets and sequences of numbers. For instance, some people will plug their delivery service tracking numbers in the search engines and pull up results. Their results most likely will appear, but along with those results may be an adult site that contains the same numbers on it. Just another trick up the old spammer’s sleeve.
Besides number spam, another trick is to put up a pseudo dictionary section of a website upon one’s site in order to try to capture traffic from all sorts of off-beat word combinations for which people will search. This is especially effective in capturing those people who like to search in the “AskJeeves full sentence approach”. Unfortunately, the results may just yield a page full of adult sites, which may not be the intention of the searcher. Dictionary spam pages are not valuable to visitors as they are only set up to trick the search engine robots and deliver traffic and move that traffic to another page quickly.
At some point the adult Webmasters may combine the two techniques and come up with single pages that number and dictionary spam into one page. Let’s hope, though, in the future, the search engines will be able to identify and penalize these pages since they provide no real value to the average Internet searcher.
