Search engine spamming (or search spamming or web spamming [1]) refers to the practice of using questionable Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques to improve the ranking of a website in search engine listings. Comment spamming (or blog spamming) is a form of search spamming in which random comments, promoting links to commercial services, are automatically posted to publicly-accessible forums, guest books, blogs, message boards, etc. See sample screenshots of URLs hosted on auto-review.net, webspawner.com, ripway.com, etc. being spammed at many open forums. There are now several commercial programs that automate such spamming tasks.

I think the "no follow" atribute was suppose to stop spammers too. However any of this to working relies on the spammer careing enough to even check.

relies on the spammer careing enough to even check.

True... the idea is to Force all publishes to care. e.g. naughty code will prevent sites getting a good listing, if listed at all.

This is done to benefit most users of the web.

Do we really want to find non-relavant, to our search, sites.
