You mean that like "no spam from the Netherlands ?" ?

Besides all of that ,those tin foiles could be used succesfully for wraping that heavenly spiced ham ,before consuming.

This is not strickly speaking true these are ways in which spam can be delivered NOT spam itself.

Spam is basically "useless" or "worthless" content of any kind intended to fool the search engines into giving that page a better ranking

Well for me spam is when someone either suggests a website that is still under construction, or when they use three or four domain names pointing at the same data. As our webspider indexes the pages they are checked against the whole database we have and if it is within a 60% range of the same content then we drop it from the index.
We don't want a whole page of results all showing the same data just a different domain name..

SPAM = Spiced Ham - (not only available in the US but the UK and im sure most of Europe too)

SPAM = Unsolicited email - when a mailer mails a mailee either unsolicited or unrequested email

SPAM = The use of duplicate or hidden text tactics within a webpage to fool a search engine into seeing a different overall 'picture' to the user.

SPAM = There are loads of things within a webpage that would be classed as Spam.. cant be bothered with it, its pretty obvious.

SPAM = My friend, i have a mate called Sam who has an oversized forhead, hence he has been donned 'Spam' (followed by a forehead slapping gesture). He's a nice guy as it goes..

Walmart is a shop...

This thread was over a year old when linknz resurrected it... that's what we call necromancing (also a form of spam)!

Now I'm gonna close it!
