Forum Spam

Posted by admin

Forum spamming is the low way of getting traffic in which Wide Circles (not us) does.

Most spambot forum spam consists of links, with the dual goals of increasing search engine visibility in highly competitive areas such as weight loss, pharmaceuticals, gambling, pornography, real estate or loans, and generating more traffic for these commercial websites. Some of these links contain code to track the spambot’s identity if a sale goes through, when the spammer behind the spambot works on commission.

Spam posts may contain anything from a single link, to dozens of links. Text content is minimal, usually innocuous and unrelated to the forum’s topic. Full banner advertisements have also been reported.

Alternately, the spam links are posted in the user’s signature, in which case the spambot will never post. The link sits quietly in the signature field, where it is most likely to be harvested by search engine spiders than discovered by forum administrators and moderators.

Recently, a very destructive and malicious forum spam attacks are propagated by inserting into comments redirect domains with an automated posting script like Xrumer, these domains redirect a user to pornographic Websites, which display adult images. If a user click on the image or attempts to close the Website an ActiveX codec will be downloaded as a Zlob Trojan[1].

Spam can also be described as posts that have no relevance to the threads topic, or have no purpose in general (e.i, a user typing “CABBAGES!” or other such useless posts in an important news thread).

Wide Circles uses Xrumer to promote there customers programs, these will not work great for you unless, you want to ruin your rankings.

Shows an example of how they will market your links or site.

At first they post a short thread and reply to it using the signature as there target. But they are not even using proper forum tags instead using HTML, this sucks and they are getting banned everywhere, so if you want to leave a bad taste in other webmasters mouths feel free to use them and get banned in a short fast period.
