scale things up, and become a spammer

Add to Delicious Digg this links to this post -

Google alert is great for market analysis. I can monitor keywords important for my business, for instance: SEO and CMS.

Google sent me a new entry today: (http://)4xuuenf(.)blogspot(.)com (will not provide a link to them).

It is basically a blog, with content automatically generated (provided the subdomain name, the account is probably also generated automatically). I don't personally know anybody doing that, and I am only left with speculations. The best thing I can think of is to use this tactic in order to identify new keywords combination easy to target, and bringing traffic: you stick your analytics code on your dummy site, and watch traffic coming in.

The objective is not to build up traffic, but to figure out what keywords are bringing visitors to the site. Since the site cannot attract natural links, it will basically reveal easy to target keywords which bring traffic.

You then pick up the keywords, and optimise a page on an other site, legitimate site this time.

The usual SEO tactic is to watch what keywords visitors have typed before landing on your site - if you are not already optimising your site for a keyword found in the list (and bringing some decent traffic), you then check your ranking (you may be number 1 without knowing). If you don't rank #1, it means that you can probably generate even more traffic from the keyword easily, and you then create an optimised page for this keyword.

building nonsense for SEO kind of make sense in this context. Spammer simply scale things up, by testing huge amount of data at no cost.

One thing I still cannot figure out why spammers send this kind of content in emails as well?? testing antispam softwares?
