What is search engine spam?
There’s a project named Web Spam Test Collections. They’ve got some definitions on what is web spam. Actually, what they’re describing is search engine spam - ie spammy directories etc. Useful definitions (of search engine spam).
Web spam is of course much more than what they’re describing here, just to be accurate. It includes the actual spamming of interactive webservices such as blogs, forums and guestbooks.
Tricky stuff, these definitions, ey?
Hat tip to Threadwatch for the tip.
