New spam attacts with links to ‘respectable sites’ – what is the purpose of those?

Posted on November 5, 2005 under blog ,

 

Since two days I get hit a bit by a new kind of spam – full of links to ‘respectable’ sites like quotationpage.com, linux magazin etc. Other than bringing webmasters to enforce captchas or others on every side available, I would see no reason for a spammer to distribute this kind of spam. Any thoughts on this?

    Perhaps to taint your spam-checking software?

    Hm. I have found nothing to prevent them so far. :(
