Spammers are idiots....

I wish they were idiots, but believe me they are not....

Spammers are some of the most sophisticated users out there, while I don't condone their activities good spammers can reach millions of people, the really good spammers of course are the ones that you don't realise have spammed you. I just wish they would move away from the pharmaceutical industry. For those interested in the techniques used both by spammers and those one the other side may like spamhuntress blog

Access to all those myspace bulletins and I bet he made not a single sale. Guess spammers are not idiots, but thankfully they are not salesmen either

spamming is only effective if you are targetting the people actually searching to buy. and the search engines is where those kinds of people are aplenty. thats why most black hats are gaming the SEs.

But not many of the good ones, Black hat community is very good at finding niches and then exploiting them, I'm afraid those people who spam the organics make almost as little money as those on myspace, a mark of a good black hat is when you don't know they have been there

I don't think this is so true. I have meet black hat "marketers" who make 4 or even 5 figure incomes. The problem is
1) For how long they can do that
2) If they feel ok by spamming the world (I guess this is not so important for them, but it is for people like me....)

Don't get me wrong I didn't say they don't make money to the contrary Good black hatters (is that an oxymoron?) makes $100000s but they are rare the vast majority and nearly all those who use spamming techniques either have to constantly adapt the techniques or find new niches for old techniques. I fins how the dark side works fascinating but I also have a moral metre which means at best I can be described as grey and more often off white

a spam site lasts mostly 2-3 months before it gets banned in the serps. they just repeat the cycle with another domain. they create site -->get it indexed --> earn money--> repeat process.

the easiest way is with adsense. they get banned after a year or more but they just open another account. how? by getting a business name and thats what they use to apply for adsense. and its not difficult to apply for a business name. i mean in most countries. mine is easy to get plenty.

I guess all of you have heared of Lernaean Hydra, the mythical ancient Greek creature.

This is the way that spam works in our days. There is no practical way for an authority to stop it.

The only way for spam to stop is by people. I mean people have to stop buying products from spam.

well they often dont even know it was spam that got them there. BH favorite is cloaking or ip delivery. im speaking of SE spam anyway.

you are right, people should never buy products advertised thru email spam.

I'm wondering why they didnt do this any sooner.
